My washer and dryer are 15 years old.  I still see that as pretty new.

I don't want to jinx anything, but here goes.  We bought the house over 22 years ago and the stove, oven, fridge and water heater are the original appliances.

Not really "appliances," but I have a lot of working radios and tape recorders from the 70s and 80s.  My Sony Walkman still "walks" with me and the dog.

I won't mention my typewriters.  Oh -- I guess I just did.

I've got a greatt little Braun citrus juicer from the 1970s.  It's so handy.

I have a Sunbeam toaster that was a shower gift in 1965 that I'm still using. And my stove, refrigerator, washer and dryer are 22 years old.

My "Oster Kitchen Center" I received for my bridal shower 1978. I have to stand next to it and spin the bowl when I'm mixing, but its still going strong. I have attachments with my kitchen center to do just about anything! They certainly don't make them like that anymore. I much prefer the bowl moving rather than just the beaters that todays KitchenAid mixers do.

Everything (except the hot water tank) in this house is 25 years old.

I would never dare to say it here in print nor out loud anywhere as that would surely put the curse on whatever I said it was and it would immediately catch on fire, quit working, send sparks flying or some other such thing. In one way or another it would be the death of it.

@ID2 I donated my Oster Kitchen Center circa 1982 and it still worked fine.   Our Sears freezer sits in our garage and is still working after 20 years.

@fleetwood  I have a sunbeam iron from the early 1980's.  It was made in America, that's how old it is.
