What’s the longest you have had an appliance or electrical item for ?
I bought a fridge back in 1993 had it 30 years before it died on me .
Another thing I have is a lightbulb I bought in Felixstowe the same year it’s a big old decorative light bulb and it’s still going.
I also was using an IPhone 6 up until last May. |  |

Beat ya. I still have going a fridge I bought as a fairly battered cheapo item, Polish I think, *second hand* in 1994. Keep meaning to bin it as it probably costs more to run every year than it did to buy it, the clue being a massive rise in my leccy bills in summer!
It’s an ‘overspill’ fridge in the half basement for surplus veg & longlife stuff though, so I’ve taken to only having it switched on during cheap rate leccy periods.
Another item was my now badly missed old Miele washing machine which died last year after 31 years of loyal service - never needed any attention apart from 3 new selector knobs when a succession of 3 puppies chewed them to smithereens. No modern machine came even close to matching it for versatility of programmes & features/options/efficiency when it came to buying a new one. |
That’s a great word to use R ‘smithereens’when I worked in the building trade an old boy would often use ‘smithereens’ the younger blokes would P themselves with laughter for some reason 😂 | |

My dad bought a expensive Hitachi hi-fi in 1978 for £399. While the hi fi itself is long gone the speakers are very good and he still uses them today 48 years later. |  | | |
