    The washer and dryer at my mom’s are 30 years old. She’s had repairmen laugh at her for having them, but they’re much better made than anything new.

      Newer machines are several times more water and energy efficient.

      Still nice that they lasted long and were easier to repair.

        Efficiency does little for your wallet and the environment if you need to buy/produce a new machine every few years.

        (Not to say that we shouldn’t strive for efficiency.)
