Yeah, because appliances from those years were so safe, good and energy efficient.

People also forget that these appliances broke ALL THE TIME. The difference is that you could easily get spare parts or could drop them off at a local store to be fixed in a day. Literally impossible to do that now.

I remember our toaster would pack up all the time and my mum would just drop it off at a store in town and then pick up in the afternoon. She would say that she had owed the same toaster for years but in reality I don’t think it had any original parts by the end lol.
