Do you have any old kitchen appliances that just keep going?

My mother in law has that same blender, still works - probably because she's too short to get it out. I think I've used it more to make things over the past few years than she did the entire time she has had it.

I have that same blender. I wish newer appliances were as well built as older ones.

Stop shopping at Wal-mart and you will find that they are. And these days we have things like Vitamix and Blendtec which kick the crap out of that blender.

That blender... Somewhere have one that is the next model up. Has a high bank and a low bank (two extra buttons that switch all the other buttons). Those blenders will not die.

I'm in possession of a KitchenAid stand mixer my parents received as a wedding present in 1972.

The only thing even remotely not great about it is the lateral attachment port has seen better days, but that's only because some of third the attachments for it don't fit that great and wear it out.

yep I have that blender, it's a trooper. I bought a new plastic base when it cracked because I don't want to give it up.

I had that exact same blender. My mom gave it to me when I first moved out, worked perfectly except the stopper for the lid was missing. It got lost last year when I moved, though, along with a box of assorted kitchen stuff.

OP here. I just discovered that the toaster has asbestos paneling inside. Fibrous, exposed, and not touching the toast but pretty darned close to it. Apparently this was a normal heat-resistant material in toasters until they wised up and banned it.

I've already eaten a bunch of toast from it. Fuck. Unless Proctor-Silex could have been using some other material in 1968...

The problem is more from breathing in the particles than from ingesting it. Still, I bet it would have often been agitated and thrown dust into the air.

My dad still uses a ratty old fallout style fridge from the 60s. It's not a professional refurbished or nice or anything it's literally been sitting in the same spot since it was purchased new by his mother
he did go to school for acre pair and works in plumbing so I think that's how he keeps it going

That's pretty cool. Asbestos really is a miracle material except for all the cancer stuff

My dad had one of these at our house. Apparently his parents had the same kind. He said he was sidetracked one time and pronounced "liquify" as "lih kwee fee" and never heard the end of it from his family.

We had our microwave since 1992 I think, it recently started catching on fire so we got a new one.
