That's at least the second time you've told us this fascinating
tidbit (and I only read 1/10th of your posts). 5 years from now
you'll still be reminiscing about that load of laundry you did on
Christmas morning 2018. Don't forget, your wife was mopping the
kitchen floor, too. That makes your post twice as exciting.

ObWasher: Sears Kenmore Series 70 model 110. Did the first load in
it in 1986 and it's averaged 3 full-size loads a week ever since (4
just in the past 24 hours). That's 1,716 loads. Or $.17/load +
water and electricity. Not a single service call in 33 years for
either the washer or the matching dryer (240V electric). The only
complaint I have is when I load up the whites and I accidentally put
one leg of my briefs over the agitator. Then your dick and balls
flap to one side while I prefer my package to be a little more
secure.

I've also had 2 microwaves in my lifetime, both Kenmore. I
inherited the big 'ol convection microwave we bought when I was 10
years old and lasted me until I was about 32 or 34. It was the
console TV of microwaves, could fit a 24lb turkey easily. Bought a
replacement Sunbeam from Walmart that lasted 24 hours before I
returned it. Spent the extra $130 and got another Kenmore that's
lasted 20 years.

I'm gonna miss Sears Kenmore. I know Sears doesn't make Kenmore but
they're farmed out to the names brands. But they're made to Sears
spec - No frills, reliable, and probably better than any of the
models that come out of that same name brand factory (I think the
washer/dryer are a White Westinghouse, IIRC).

It would be nice of this damned 33 year old General Electric
dishwater would break. I've been having to rely on it much more
since I have nerve pain in my arms and can't wash dishes by hand as
well.
