Fridges built in the 1950s still work just fine and look fantastic. Does that mean we should all be using them? Of course not. They weighed a ton more, used 'environmentally unfriendly' coolant, and were much less efficient. So even though the old timey 1950s fridge is not 'obsolete' in the sense that it is still functional, it very much IS obsolete in the sense that modern options are far superior.

This concept that every product ever made should be some sort of immortal, immutable Jungian archetype is just some person's idiotic fantasy. I've had the same fridge, microwave, dryer and dishwasher for over 14 years. Our clothes washer was also that old and was still working like a champ, but I got a new front-loader because they are more efficient. As my life goes on, I will replace these older 1990s appliances with newer ones that are better. And I will not feel either (A) guilty about it or (B) ripped off as if I was somehow being gypped.

It's actually supposed to be a front-loader washing machine. ("sen-ta-ku-ki" is washing machine; "kan-so-u-ki" is dryer)

Oh shit! Having driven a front loader, I can tell you that when his rear tires came down, he must have been bouncing all over the inside of that cab...safety belt or not. It doesn't look bad on the video but believe me, it's a whole different ride inside.
