Kenmore patio fridge that is olive green with a woodgrain handle. Built in 1978. Still flawless. Ice maker still works.

Bought on the side of the road in the country. It had a 100ft extension cord plugged in and was running at the road with a sign that said “Yours for $100”.

I Jew’d them down to $80

Nice compliment to the wife. I have a “dish” she can come clean at my house.

1950s Westinghouse fridge. Only had to replace the thermostat. Still runs like a champ.

I had a 1983 (I think Goldstar) dorm fridge in service, in some capacity from until the mid 2010s, which I thought was pretty good. I guess my Sub-Zeros ( ) are getting close to 30 years old and still going strong.

Does a water heater count. Ours is 31 years old and still working like a champ.

Kenmore fridge with freezer on top 26 years old. Not as old as some here. Sits out in the shop so not in the a/c. Went through the flood of 2016 and got about a foot of water.

You really jinxed yourself into a summer of repairs now! First fridge my wife and I bought in 1997 is still working great without a single repair. Now I’m sure it will go out tomorrow.

About 12 years ago, I took an already old stand up freezer out of a rental I bought. It’s about 40 years old now and still working great.
