@@RobertHowe-zv7gs except for the cords, they were workhorses. The kids today don't realize how much heavier they were. Same thing with TVs and car doors that were heavier and worked much longer. We have a frig in our kitchen that still works great. It was purchased in the early 1980s. You don't see that anymore!
We use to sew buttons on and darn socks. Boys had patches sewn on the knees of your pants. (Especially at the end of summer because we only got new cloths for Christmas.) Now I see young boys wearing outfits and haircuts with highlights that cost hundreds of dollars. We were happy for the most part.
As a kid in the 80’s I rarely got new clothes. If I did they were often hand me downs from cousins or from the goodwill. My kids get new clothes when they need them but they absolutely also have gotten hand me downs from cousins and each other as well as from garage sales and such. Also, when they get new clothes it’s usually from Walmart. I can’t see paying a fortune on them.
My mother had an ELECTROLUX VACUUM CLEANER that lasted over fifteen years . I repaired it once and it lasted another three or so years until she bought a brand new one .
I still have a 1950 Emerson am radio that I extensively rebuilt and it is still going strong and a 1949 Warren Telechron "switchalarm that is still going strong

I’d love that wall freezer/fridge. Everything at eye level!!
I remember the wringer washer. My mom had one and it had a rhythm to it when it was washing. My brother and I used to dance to it.
Thank you for your research and video presentation efforts. Growing up in the 60's many memories were brought back with this video. Thanks again....
Rotary dial phones were durable and reliable; they never wore out !

My mom had a Mixmaster, and I remember our Frigidaire, I miss those days.
thank you for sharing
So did mine. Her mixer was olive green as well.
Do you look anything like the Dorothy from the Golden Girls.?

Everything was made better years ago than it is now.

That Telechron "switchalarm clock could be used to time a small appliance on
I would love to find a working wringer washer . I had one before for mu husbands work clothes and they always looked brand new
