re: What's the oldest major appliance in your home?

Dryer bought in 1994. The washer that was bought with it was recently replaced.

Chest freezer that was my grandpa's from the 60s

2nd fridge in the laundry room came from our old house and was bought in 1997.

Everything else was new when we bought this house in 2009

The washing machine. My SO bought it in December 1994 (six months before her daughter was born). All the moves and storage later it still works like a charm.

The only "old" appliance I wish I had was and old traditional agitator based washing machine.

I hate all this new HE crap.

Aside from that I love having a more modern stove/oven, fridge, dishwasher and microwave

Recently replaced my 1960 oven, it was still working great and being stainless steel it was back in style.

That is awesome!

I got my house from my grandparents and its around 100 years old. It was built by my great grandparents and given to my grandparents when they got married. They got married in the 40s and had the house updated or modernized in the 50s.

I said all that to say, those same appliances, fridge, double oven, microwave, and dishwasher were still here when my wife and myself moved in. All still worked like a charm, all still looked brand new. We used those appliances for 3 years until we gutted the entire house down to the studs, changed the floor plan completely, and modernized the whole interior. The outside is of 1800s Victorian style, and the inside is 2015 style. We love it.

Ps.... Those appliances still work well and are out in my shop. Nothing beats early Americana craftsmanship!
