A lot has to do with the type of wood, e.g. my husband collects antiques and does appraisals so the wood furniture is at least 100 years old. Oak, maple, walnut and mahogany are four of the most durable woods to use for a table. If your grandparents table was made from any of these type of woods then it is well made.Our dining room set is inherited from my aunt who possibly got it from my grandparents, not sure. We had it stripped and refinished because I'm not sure wooden furniture is as sturdy anymore.
We inherited a Maytag washing machine from the previous owners of our last house and brought it with us to our present home. It's now approx. 35 yrs. old and you know there's no way a new washer would last that long. The Maytag Company was based in Newton, Iowa and when Whirlpool bought them they moved their manufacturing to other states and Mexico thereby leaving the employees in IA without jobs.I had a Maytag washing machine that lasted for something like 40 years dating from my teens.

Yeah, maytag is garbage since they got bought out by whirlpool which has also really gone downhill. If you want a good washer/dryer get a speed queen, they're almost as good as maytag used to be.neely I always liked Whirlpool appliances as well but am not as happy with the dishwasher as the filtering system is not up to par. When I looked for a new washer and dryer I considered the Maytag commercial style as it still had an agitator but it has very low reviews, so they probably aren't the company they used to be.
Yes, of course they do .Do they want us to run out every few years or way before the usual lifespan of our appliances/electronics and keep buying more crap products?
If your computer is slowing down it's probably not because it's getting old, it's more likely it's getting full of malware.Computers for sure. It might be because I use them everyday for many hours, but I feel like I need to replace my computer often because file sizes get bigger and everything slows down quickly. Another thing is furniture. I know it's because things are cheaper, but things definitely don't last as long because of the cheaper materials. I need to invest in some high quality furniture.
They are not. I brought a Maytag disherwasher and had nothing but trouble with it. A repairman told me that it was because they used plastic parts. This was 10 years ago so things might have changed but I will never buy anything else made by Maytag. I got rid of the Maytag after a year and brought a Kenmore. I've had the Kenmore for 9 years and I have never had a problem with it.neely I always liked Whirlpool appliances as well but am not as happy with the dishwasher as the filtering system is not up to par.

For me it was more because my old computer couldn't handle me using it for lots of data processing and then running ArcGIS which took up a lot of memory.If your computer is slowing down it's probably not because it's getting old, it's more likely it's getting full of malware.
Yeah, that would do it too. I guess I have a bad habit of comparing everyone to my mom, last time I upgraded my gaming computer I gave my old one to her, and within a month it was so loaded with malware it took almost 10 minutes to boot up and was running at 80% memory load when idle.For me it was more because my old computer couldn't handle me using it for lots of data processing and then running ArcGIS which took up a lot of memory.
