Recently, we had to finally replace our old kettle and toaster. We have had them since Lala was a toddler and B a baby, back in 2013, so they lasted over 10 years.
Interestingly, they just seemed to perform better, and last longer, than more expensive and more complicated (feature-ridden) alternatives. We have since replaced them, and already the new toaster is not as good as it was when brand new. It took the old Philips toaster almost 10 years before it lost any of its mojo. I guess they just don't make them like they used to.
It was funny to always have to have adaptors for these two, as they always had Malaysian plugs, being bought over there. When we moved as a kid, Dad would always change the plugs, perhaps because international adaptors weren't a thing in those days. It definitely is easier with local plugs. I wonder what we'll do if we end up back in SEA.
