On 12/1/1991, Bob Leibold as Bob's Specialty Service in Monroe, Wisconsin started a Maytag washing machine during a Maytag promotion and expected it to run about 2 and 1/2 years. Amazingly, the machine ran until August 16, 1996 and stopped after 32,500 hours. The machine pumped over 56 cycles a day and cost about a $1 a day in electricity. Leibold calculated it was the equivalent of 193 years of use by a family of four.

My '94 Dependable Care washer is still in like new condition,If it breaks I will repair it,if it is terminal there is always my 85 model. I only wash at the most three loads a week, so they will most likely outlast me. |
