How old is your oldest home appliance

That's great. I don't use a toaster these days.

i think our rice cooker is the same age. the stove is probably older.

old appliances were simple to use.

@Essjayd my mother gets frustrated by the tv because you have to use 2 remotes because of the cable. then it would blink when the internet hiccups. i remember our old tv with the knobs - on/off and channels. same with small radios.

@hereandthere That's probably why it has lasted so well. There's very little to go wrong with it as it's so basic.

Wow! What appliance was it and which model.

@pitstop sears kenmore dryer.

That's great. What brand is it?

@pitstop it is from Whirlpool

Yup. She has found it extremely useful. It's much better than throwing it away.

is a window water cooler different from an a/c (air conditioning) unit?

@hereandthere we need to pour water in it whenever its summer and its very old model. These days coolers are portable :)

Your dad must be quite a handy man!

That's great. I thought the compressor in deep freezer rarely lasted more than 10 years.

Woah! How old do you think that is. Looks terrific.

@pitstop The above pic is from the web but mine is very much like it. I have no idea how old it is. The cord is cloth covered. The beauty of it is that it gets so hot that it toasts quickly and doesn't dry out the bread. The middle is still soft. The drawback is you can't leave it unattended and have to flip the bread manually to do both sides. Laziness prevents me from dragging it out very often lol
