    I still have a Goldstar (now LG) microwave that my parents bought for me 22 years ago when I bought my first flat. The buttons are all a bit wonky, but it still works fine.

    It was only last year that I got rid of the Baby Belling cooker and Electrolux fridge bought just after. Both were still working (though the fridge never really got cold enough any more).
    If it sticks, force it.
    If it breaks, well it wasn't working right anyway.

    Our Henry lasted us 10 years, including 2 house moves, and dealing with an awful lot of hair. We had to replace one part, for about £8.

    My Mum still has her Kenwood Chef. She uses it every week and it's older than me and i'm 44. Never even been serviced.
