We have a 36 year old Maytag up north that's still running perfectly. My wife won't even think of replacing it! I don't think any appliance maker makes them the way they used to.  |
I agree they are NOT made anywhere near as good as they used to be. This seems so strange that kitchen appliances of all kinds have taken a nose dive where it comes to quality. I can't help but wonder why this happened, and why someone can't make dependable appliances that operate like the old ones did. I had two washers that lasted 20 years each before this GE that died in less than 4 years. All this 'energy efficient' stuff ends up costing you much more in the long run. I could spend a lot of $$ on water for a 'non efficient machine' and end up saving $$$.......rather than replace the item every 3-4 years. SOOO frustrating!
