Home appliances pre 1970.
Washer/dryer, dishwasher, fridge, water heater, vacuum...
Pretty much everything lasted twenty plus years with only minor repairs if any back then
My friend's dad died a couple of years ago at over 100. He was the best house contractor in town and built a great house around 1967. I helped clear it out to sell it and it had all of the original kitchen appliances. I'm sure he bought the best available at the time.
