[QUOTE="michael8554, post: 547377, member: 34375"] The neon on a Crabtree 13A switched outlet in our house has "blown" (the glass is blackened) after about 50 years of use, was always on. Way back a "budget, unreliable" Curry's Matsui microwave was still going strong after about 30 years, it was too large for the kitchen where we moved to. Same for the "budget, unreliable" Indesit dishwasher, left it behind still working when we moved. My dark green Black & Decker hammer drill is about 20 years old and still going strong. Admittedly not daily use, but not even the motor brushes have needed replacing. Perhaps from back in the days when B&D was a good brand ? [/QUOTE]
