Our dishwasher makes an intermittent grinding noise that we think must be a bearing somewhere (we checked-there are no forks or anything stuck in the bottom) but seems to be working OK. All of our appliances are sixteen years old so we're just sort of waiting for something to give out.

The popcorn popper blew on Sunday night. Ran for about 30 seconds and then just stopped and started smoking, but it was probably twenty years old so it wasn't much of a surprise.

Family record is the toaster oven--38 years old, been rewired once, and still ticking along. We found one just like it a church rummage sale and bought it, too, just in case.
