On: They Used To Last 50 Years

[ben_pr]

I just changed a refrigerator, stove is basically dead, both 8 years old, Whirlpool brand. My Mom is still using the same appliances from when I was a kid. Nearly every family member I have says the same thing, new stuff lasts about 8 - 10 years and why can't we just get one like Mom's that will last 35+ years. My bosh dishwasher runs like new and is 8 years old.

Counter-anecdote: my Bosch dishwasher lasted barely six years before the impeller motor failed.
