    My ten year old basic units are still looking new. Nothing to really go wrong with them and I bet I can get parts for cheap. I know when they’re done because I just wait a little while after I start them, then I know they’re finished.

      I still use the exact same washing machine that was in the house when I bought the house. I have no idea how old it is, but I bought the house in 2017 and I can’t imagine the owner would have left it behind if it was new.

      The only problem with it is that the door sensor is broken, so It will actually turn on even if the door is open which it shouldn’t do according to the operating manual. Won’t make that mistake again though so it’s not a big problem.

      Meanwhile, the new one in my flat has a soft-button to start/stop, which sometimes bugs out and/or locks my laundry away in some edge cases the devs didn’t think of.

        My parents have an induction stove like that. If it gets any moisture on the panels at all it thinks the buttons are being pressed and just starts doing random stuff. Because who thought that water would ever get on a stove top?
