To think things aren't made like thy used to be...

[NameChangedForTheDay]

In the last four years, I've replaced the fridge freezer, vacuum (twice) and now the oven.

Fridge was 4yo, after replacing previous 5yo fridge freezer, the vacuum was 7yo and replacement lasted 6 months and the oven was just 4yo.

Nobody repairs stuff anymore and those that do quote, cost more than buying a new item.

In comparison, my hair straighteners went on 13y, the previous fridge freezer was 10, TV that packed up this year was 9, washing machine was 20 and vacuum 10y.

It's a scam isn't it? 👀

Cars are infinitely better, - do you remember how they ALL rusted around the wheel arches and where the wing mirrors were connected to the skin?

But I agree, most domestic appliances and clothes are a lot less sturdy, the are also a lot cheaper relatively speaking though now.

Imagine a TV channel offering a domestic appliance as a prize on a prime time TV show now!
