    Well, VCRs or TVs then. Microwaves. Vacuum cleaners. Lawn mowers. Plenty of expensive shit that broke every 5 years

      Sounds more like someone bought cheap shit

      The microwave we had as a kid, my brother still uses. It’s gotta be 40 years old or more.

      We had tvs growing up that were 10-20 years old and I’m sure some of the newer 80s/90s tvs are still working, just aren’t used.

      My brother still uses the electric lawn mower my parents bought in the 90s.

      VCRs, well, I haven’t used one in years, so I couldn’t tell you the shape those are in.

      My vacuum is over ten years old.
