Mine… My Xbox 360 slim only costed 129 euro back in 2012 and to this day still work like brand new, you would think that the disc drive would stop working but no. Never had the need of open it or clean it’s insides. Still great, I just don’t use it anymore since I feel it’s outdated and loading speeds are better nowadays.
Old AC’s and Fridges work forever. Probably horrible for the environment, but they work.
I sometimes wonder how much of the “power efficiency” modern appliance manufacturers trumpet is completely annulled by the fact that they have 30% the useful lifetime of their less efficient ancestors.
30%? You’re overestimating the lifetime of modern appliances.
The refrigerator my grandfather bought in the 1940s has outlived 7 others purchased later, and the old man himself. It’s still chugging along in the basement of their house, 80-some years after it was built.
The best appliance for the environment is still the one you already have.
Sometimes yes, sometimes no
Unless you have to refill their ozone-killing stuff for them to work properly.
Only when they leak or get thrown out. If they’re still working they’re not leaking, but maybe drawing more power than needed.

The biggest change when we got new window AC units was how much more quiet they are.
