Frigidaire deep freezer that’s probably around 15 years old.

Scratch that. It’s older than what I thought. My wife just reminded me we brought it from our old house when we bought this house in 2006. And we’d had it a few years then. So it’s somewhere around 20 years old, give or take.

Not technically an appliance, but a electric Circular Saw and Jig Saw from the mid 70's. Both Black + Decker I believe. My old man passed them along to me when he went for the new fancy battery powered stuff because he kept cutting the cord (literally) on the skill saw. Its missing about 2' of cord length from various projects over the years and my impatient old man not making sure the cord wasn't in the way.

15-year-old LG double-door fridge that would not fit in new home when we moved in. We put it in the garage and it is still working. We have no idea how. We thought it would kick the bucket this summer, but it's still going strong. We call it the OG.

What a workhorse. We had one in our first house, which was built in 1956. Gas, broiler in the middle. I regret not taking that thing when we moved. It is probably still going.

All of our stuff was bought in 09.

But my mother has a working blender that was made in the 70’s. Still uses it every time it’s needed when baking.

1946 Westinghouse fridge. I restored it. Stripped all the paint and repainted. Changed out the thermostat which died. Had a huge dent on its side like it had been dropped. Banged the dent out, with a body hammer and filled in all other small dents with bondo. Also changed out the insulation. It runs like a champ.

Up until about 6 or 7 months ago I had a Massey Ferguson Freezer. Made June of 1952. Couldn't find parts to fix it, so I get rid of it.

You couldn't , or the repairman couldn't?

Our oven in our kitchen is from 1975. Still works like a tank. I refuse to replace it

I do need to paint it

I called a few places on looked online. I did find a gasket, it was $250ish and it also needed a handle, those were no where to be found. I had tie it shut, it was of no sentimental value to me, someone gave ot to me, so I got rid of it.

I don’t know if it counts as an appliance but the classic Waring blender I have, we got for our wedding in 1994. Many a margarita has been processed therein.
