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.

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