This is so I don't see why people ignore. I bet you can go buy high end appliances that will last 50 years. But would anyone want to be using it in 50 years?

- sangnoir 10y ago> But would anyone want to be using it in 50 years? I would happily use a washing machine, dishwasher or fridge that is 50 years old. The only tech advances related to those gadgets that would concern me are CFCs in the refrigerant.
- skykooler 10y agoWhich in and of itself is not a problem until the refrigerator finally needs to be disposed of.
- majormajor 10y agoEh. When I moved from an apartment with a ~30 year old dishwasher to one with a new one, I was pretty startled by how much cleaner it got my dishes when I didn't pre-rinse them as much as I used to have to.
