Never EVER Buy the New Version of These 6 Appliances

📕 The Home Savings Manual — 79 ways to stop overpaying for your own house: https://brendacarver.com/ There's a washing machine running in a basement in your town right now that was bought when Reagan was president. Same belt, same motor, never had a repairman in the house. And the one you bought in 2019 is already making a noise. That's not bad luck. That's how they're built now. Our grandmothers bought one of each and kept it for life. In this one I'll walk you through 6 appliances where the old version is flat-out a better machine than the new one, and what each old one won't do: 🍞 The Sunbeam toaster that knows when your toast is actually done 🥣 The Hobart-era KitchenAid with all-metal gears, and the metal vacuum that runs for decades on a new belt 🧵 The all-metal sewing machine that goes through denim like a bedsheet 🧊 The plain top-freezer fridge (and the old one you should NOT bring in the house) …and number one, the one that saves the most money by a mile: the direct-drive washer you can fix on your kitchen floor for twenty dollars. A washer that lasts twenty-five years sells once. Look at what's already in your house before you buy anything, and keep your money right where it belongs. If saving money and things built to last sound good to you, subscribe and stick around — that's what we do here every week. 💛 What's the oldest appliance still running in your house?
