WHY DON'T APPLIANCES LAST LONGER

This question has many answers.

For one they're not made the way they used to be.

Back in the 60's and 70's the machine parts were made here and assembled here. The product material was heavier and was able to withstand friction better. Everything was mechanical, from the timers to the ice makers to the motors. Second, there was less items to pick from making things less complicated. The quality was just higher in those days. Only a handful of washers, dryer, refrigerators, dishwashers, etc.  

Then the free trade market and technology lifted off. Parts were no longer made here anymore, they are made in other countries and then shipped here. They are still somewhat assembled here, but most parts are foreign made. The product material is plastic or thin metals which in return doesn't hold up to friction and rotation over long terms. Everything has lost the mechanical way, it turns on computer generated technology now. Sensors are now built into everything from how hot the water is to how often your refrigerator needs to defrost according to temperatures inside. Your dryer senses how long it needs to dry the clothes and your dishwasher senses how hard the water is. And last but not least there are so many brands and models of appliances that they are forever changing. This causes a problem, the quality of the product disappears behind the shade of so many appliances.

With these two differences there are some pros and cons. The cons, well the product doesn't last as long as the conventional mechanical machines. The pros, they are more efficient. The cons, they still cost just as much or much more than the conventional days. The pros, you end up getting your money back in the long run on utility costs. 

But there is one bigger problem. The reason stuff doesn't last as long is because we don't take care of our products anymore. We hope they clean themselves. This is what we have forgotten. If we just treated our machines with lightness and cleanliness we just might get those wonder years out of them along with higher efficiency. That's 2 PROS and no CONS.  

Why don't appliances last longer? I'd say maybe we should start by taking better care of them and that question just might be less asked.
