I use a Kenmore clothes dryer from the mid 80's. It's the same model my parents had back in the family home, but theirs was gas, this one is electric.
Oster blender from the 70's, probably the best built thing I own. all metal couplings, and a well built motor. The shit they build now works maybe 20 times and dies.
My Sanyo mini-fridge is still running after 20 years
I bought an "apartment-size" refrigerator 50 years ago. Sold by JC Penney but of course god only knows what company actually made it. Anyway, the thing always worked perfectly BUT for some strange reason it occasionally made these incredibly LOUD noises for about 10 minutes, then happily went back to being quiet as a mouse. I told people that the poor thing must feel inferior to kitchen type big refrigerators and to make up for it, it deliberately made a huge amount of noise now and then just to assert its importance in the scheme of things. It went on working that way for the next twenty years or so. It finally got stolen during a move and I like to think that it's still working somewhere and still making that enormous racket now and then.
