npub12p2k0h4tc7rzutvfwvn807rg8mkcd8zvw5pr30r7lrsuu28f82uq3ps8wv (npub12p2…s8wv) I would also put washing machines and vacuum cleaners into the category of things that, besides being cheaper, have improved enough that I wouldn't want an old one. I lived with old junk when I was poor, but a modern washing machine or vacuum cleaner just cleans so much better that it doesn't make sense to own a 1990 model if you can afford a newer one, IMO.

I don't find modern cookware much improved, but (if you're willing to pay), it doesn't seem like it's less durable either?
