My washer is leaking

I swear they make stuff today to break on purpose.
I only remember my parents having one washer and dryer till I moved out, same for the fridge…..But my washer can text me when it’s done….., but amazingly not when it’s leaking……sorry rant over

Yesterday, my microwave just failed too! Funny thing is, 9 years ago I bought a new dish washer, new gas cooktop, new wall oven, new microwave, new washer, new dryer and a new exterior vented hood fan for my cooktop.

In that 9 year period I've replaced my new dishwasher twice which means I'm on my third new dishwasher, my new wall oven got replaced for another new one, my new clothes dryer got replaced for another new one, my new hood fan got replaced for another new one and now my new microwave is about to get replaced with another new one as well.

My mother is still using the same kitchen appliances she was given as wedding presents when she got married at 18 years of age and a year before I was even born and she still has them all to this day after raising an entire family with them and continues to raise my father to this day with those same appliances!

@swirlie Never get rid of your old stuff. I've been through a couple dozen vacuum cleaners, now I have an old 1970s one that I plan on never parting with.

Oh my god, my mom gave me a 1960's Electrolux which looks like a red wiener dog, which was pre-owned when she got it as a teenager, which I inherited and used at my student residence all through my university years ...and I've still got it in my closet today!

I don't use it except out on my condo terrace because I have a portable Miele vacuum for inside work that is more efficient, but the old Electrolux pumps out more cubic feet of compressed air than my Dad's air compressor puts out back home on the farm! I can even hook the hose on the opposite end of the wiener and it blows air instead of sucking it! Great for getting leaves off the terrace! But my Miele doesn't have that capability of reverse flow!

@swirlie Oh ya they are super heavy and do shoot out a lot of air lol. Yes my last dishwasher lasted me 5 years. I renovated my kitchen and kept my 1970's wall oven. It doesn't look the best but hey, I can fix it myself my replacing elements and it's basic and doesn't break. I also bought a new stovetop but I got the old elements, not glasstop for the same reason. Sick of things breaking.

I had a glass-top stove as well and got rid of it. It was terrible to try and clean.

@swirlie I had one once too, yes total pain in the ass.
