My wife’s hairdryer must be at least 25yrs old and maybe older. It’s a Philips and the only occasional repair it needs is the flex where it enders the dryers handle. That tends to crack and then short across to blow the plugtop fuse. A swift rewire with a length of new flex and it’s good to go for another 8-10yrs. I know why the flex eventually fails and that’s down to the way my wife constantly waves the thing at her head while she is drying her hair. . the flex can only take so much:wink:
Our Bosch fridge/freezer is 24 years old and still going strong.
We’ve got a electric carving knife we got from the cigarette coupons we saved up for, heck it must be 35 years old and it’s still working like new. I can’t remember what make it is offhand but I think Moulinex or Russell Hobbs.
A few posts back I commented on industrial power electronics which was/is my field. Electronics that is. Computers are examples of electronic devices. Hair dryers and such are not usually.
Just my two pence worth.
Who cares, we know what it means.
