I had an interesting conversation with someone I casually know. She recently moved to a new place, and she commented one thing she really liked was the washer and dryer that came with the place. They might be original to that place (which is 30+ years old). Even if not, they are an old washer/dryer. Even at their age, she said they work better than the brand new washer and dryer she bought a few years ago for her last place.
Of course, a lot of people here will say: "This isn't news!" But I found it interesting that someone who appears to have little interest in appliances suddenly loves a vintage washer/dryer. (She couldn't even tell me what brand the washer and dryer are! And if I'd asked if she had photos on her smart phone, she might have used said phone to call the nice men in white coats to take me someplace with nice padded walls. LOL)
Of course, I told her to keep that washer and dryer going as long as possible. (And yes, I know quality can still be bought...but realistically this woman won't ever have the budget for a front load Speed Queen or Miele.)
