I have a tumble dryer from 1997 that still works. The company that made it is long out of business but it still goes on. My coffee maker is from 2000, a Siemens Porsche that was featured in Firefly as a "futuristic coffee maker". And I have a mixer from my grandmother that dates back from the 1950s. They all still chug along. They just don't make quality goods anymore like they used to.
