So it's obvious, in at least one sense, that "They don't make 'em like they used to." | |

Edited to increase specificity: time is from 1960 to 2010, and limiting the question to refrigerators.

| Jan 15, 2015 at 22:52 | comment | added | Rob Watts | Anecdotal evidence - my family had our washing machine repaired, and the repairman said our upright washer was sturdier than newer front-loading machines. However, it is also less efficient (water, power) than those front-loading machines. So there may be a trade-off between durability and efficiency. | |
