10 Things That I Bought 20 Years Ago And They’re Still Working Great
This is not technically a review, neither i am promoting any brand. I was always into owning fewer better things that lasts forever. So I am sharing the ten things that I bought 20 years ago and they’re still intact, working as good as new and have only standard wear and tear.
1. Denim - Big John (25 oz, 2 pairs, these are the only pairs I have)
2. Shoes - Nicks boots (1 pair, had 5 re-soles)
3. Car - Toyota Corolla Altis (217,779 miles, no engine work till now, I only change oil and do basic maintenance by myself , car has never been to a mechanic)
4. Motorbike - Suzuki SV 650 (123,350 miles, no engine work till now, only basic maintenance, never broke down)
5. Watch - Casio 5600 (Solar watch, changed the cell only once in the last 20 years, accuracy is +/-17 seconds per month, just two seconds more or less than brand new)
6. Refrigerator - GE ( only basic maintenance and had two compressor changes as per the manual)
7. AC - Mitsubishi ( basic maintenance as per the manual)
8. Bed - custom made bed frame from Redwood (costed me $3700 back then but it’s built like a tank. Mold resistant and termite resistant by nature)
9. Lawn Mower - Honda (it runs on gasoline. These mowers are discontinued, sadly)
10. Phone - iPhone ( this is my second iPhone , iPhone X, which I bought in 2018. The previous iPhone , iPhone 4s lasted eight years. That’s why I included it in the list. Given the short use life of electronic items, I think apple iPhone is really a miracle when it comes to reliability. Before buying iPhone, I used Nokia 3310, which was my first cell phone that I bought in 2002 . It was exceptionally well constructed and was still functioning before I gave it over for recycling. But I don’t think so that my iPhone X will last for 5 years more)
