11 years of daily use is an insanely long lifespan for a hair dryer. Point taken though.

I'd suspect the hairdryers manufactured before planned obsolescence really took effect would have a longer lifespan

Probably, yes. I still would never have expected it to stay with me for over a decade and that's why I posted it here. It was 5€ mind you. But like I said, point taken, as you and multiple other people have pointed out it obviously wasn't the kind of post intended for this sub.

That doesn't sound like a long lifespan for a hair dryer. I never use them daily though, maybe once or twice a month.

I.e. mine got used 15–30 times more often. Had it been yours, it would've lasted 165–330 years. I know I'm simplifying a lot here, but I do think that 11 years is pretty damn good for a daily driver.

My mom does use hers daily so maybe I'll see what she thinks. She bought me the same one she has so she can use it when she visits lol. It seems like she gets a new one every like 5 years, but I'm not sure if thats because the old ones broke or she just found a better one and wanted to upgrade.
