That's actually part of what is wrong with people today. I have a couple very nice led televisions but i also have old school tube televisions from 10+ years ago that work very well for what i need them for. Maybe i'm getting to the old people stage but appliances and electronics used to last back in the day. They were made in the U.S., with foreign parts lots of times, but the majority of my small kitchen appliances are at least ten years old. It would blow your mind to find out i have a twenty year old coffee maker while i have friends that replace theirs at least every two years if not sooner due to them not working anymore.

This is severely offset by the automotive world though. Nowadays i don't even consider a used car unless it has less than twenty thousand or over eighty thousand.

I understand this sentiment. My parents have a mitsubishi big screen that last 13 years, and they still have another going strong in its 16th year. They also had a microwave that lasted almost 30 years, apparently when Litton decides to make consumer good, they decide to do it right.
