Thanks! I'll check it out.
My longest appliance is a Hot Air Popcorn popper. We got it as a wedding gift in 1979. We use it about every week.My longest living appliance = Sharp Carousel R-4A48 microwave. Bought Sept 1996. Still ticking.
I still have (and use occasionally) a blender that was also a wedding gift, in 1972.
I burned up the motor of my early seventies gifted Osterizer blender about 15 yrs. ago from warm weather encouraged very frequent frozen "daquiri-a thon" multi-pitcher per episode creations.

I have a Sunbeam Egg Cooker that was my grandfathers and it still works and gets used every 2-3 weeks (it can make hard/soft or poached). He made me soft boiled eggs with it when I was 3 years old, and now I'm 68 ! The top is made of Bakelite and is very heavy.
I "inherited" it from a lawn customer that I began cutting their lawn when I was in HS. I was out of college at the time, not sure of my direction, cutting 100 or so lawns - truth! - trying to figure it out... they were moving to the Eastern Shore of MD, so she offered me a few things if I could move them. Super great family, almost grandparents to me. I carted that bad boy out to my truck, down a couple sets of steep stairs thru their back yard on my hand truck with a ratchet tie down wrapped around the whole thing, took it home, plugged it in, and have been using it ever since. Circa 1995 for my use.
I noticed how hot the airflow out with my blender just making a smoothie. I drugged a bunch of holes in the back to let it breath. I think it helps keep the motor temp lower.
Interesting !? Pray tell what kind of "drugged" holes^^^ did you use ?!
I guess I spelled drilled wrong enough for auto correct to make that change or if ai was involved that thing is on drugs.
But you gotter dun !
If bathroom`s showering humidity tends to cause crusty light bulb/fixtures connections over time, a trick I`ve successfully used in such environments, is after making sure that the socket and bulb`s base are free of corrosion, I apply a very thin film of silicon electrical type grease over the bulbs screw in base after making sure the bulb/fixture function properly prior.I went to the bathroom this morning, and two of the four ceiling LED lights are out — the inner two pair. Remove the two, clean the connections, and apply Deoxit, a very familiar routine for tube electronics in winter.
Put them back in, no light. Try the switch a few times. Still unlit.
After I bought a new set of LED lamps from Amazon and returned to the bathroom — I was surprised to find all four lit again.
Things like this seem to have such a feminine personality!
Well, now I know the inner two are in series...
Yes! And the change in weather (these things often happen on the first hot and first cold days).
Lots of on/offs in a bathroom.
