Reply to comment by 2cats2hats in My 10+ year old washing machine is on its last legs. What is the most durable washing machine in the American consumer market? by wecouldhaveitsogood
Millions of people were laundering fabrics successfully for many decades in washing machines that only had knobs for controls. I can customize almost any function of it to suit what I'm washing. And I wouldn't trade my older, used, Kenmore 700 top loader for any that is new and supposedly better.

All my appliances are oldschool 90s and I can afford modern. I had a modern dishwasher that crapped out after a few years...logic board got wet, model design flaw. Had it repaired and it failed again. Went back to 90s stuff. Analog, no electronics. I will do this as long as I can. I don't care if it's a tad noisier than modern dishwashers.

Amen. My dishwasher - a Kenmore Elite, stainless steel tub - is used too. Paid $70 for it several years ago. Does a fantastic job. It was manufactured in 2010.

Just curious. How do you find a 1990s dishwasher??

A place in town sells refurb appliances. Luckily they still have older ones available(last I checked).
