How old is your oldest appliance?

[mrodgers]

If you mean the cabinets are too low that happened to every person in my neighborhood. Some shaved them down, some lifted it up but I called the local cabinet people who took care of it for around $50, they popped it off and removed a facade bottom then put it back up. If it's too narrow that is a giant pain.

Yup, too narrow. It's an old mobile, so tiny kitchen. Fridge is at the end of the hall where you enter the kitchen around the cabinets, which also is 1 long cabinet so I can't just remove the end one. There's little room with my tiny 17ish? cubic foot to walk through, I'll never get a 21 cu ft in there. That is minimum that I want because of freezer space and style (freezer on the bottom.)

So, just measured. Current small fridge is 32 inch wide and space between it and the countertop corner is 21 inches where you walk through. Knock an inch and 3/4 off that and it's pretty tight.

The oldest ones I have are the extra fridge and stand alone freezer that are in the basement. My parents bought them when they built the house back in 1992, and they are still working (knocking on wood). So they are 29 years old. I don’t use them a lot, mostly around the holidays, but used them a lot during the pandemic to stock up on frozen food. I usually have them full of bottled water for hurricane season, so they aren’t run empty.

I think the microwave is the original one that was came with the house that was built in like 99 or 00. I am seriously surprised it still works.

I have lived here for like 4 years, so I cannot vouch for if it is original or not, but it looks old.

Probably the dishwasher, about 15 years old. But it's barely working now so shopping for a new one. Electric range is probably a similar age. Had some issues a few years ago but opted to put about $500 into repairing it since I couldn't find a reasonable replacement.

We also dread the day the fridge dies, every new one we look at is too tall to fit under the cabinet.

we got a GE profile and I love it, it is the most silent dishwasher ever!

We replaced our appliances with a kitchen remodel in 2012. The oven and fridge are already having problems. My parents' old avocado green refrigerator from the '70s lasted decades!

Our Jenn-aire range. It was here when we moved in almost 19 years ago and I suspect it was here a LONG time before that.

Funny how that works

We have a Modern Maid overhead oven and gas cooktop that we believe is from at the latest, the 70's.

Our house is 26 years old. The only appliance we've had to replace is the dishwasher and we replaced that twice over the years. We updated to stainless last year, but all the appliances we replaced were still working. I'm most worried about the water heater,but can't convince DH that we need to replace it BEFORE it breaks. (Before I met him I had one blow in a rental I lived in - not good!)
