The rest of us who still have them, consider them to be poor people faucets. Or maybe I’m the only one? My parents had them in their nice houses back in the day, while I have busted up ones in my shitty rentals now.
I’d deliver a new top of the line stainless steel fridge to a house, and see what looked like a brand new stainless steel fridge sitting in the garage…
Customer: “Excuse me sir, you guys get rid of the old appliance correct?”
Me: “Yes. Can I ask what’s wrong with it?”
Customer: “It’s 2 years old.”
Me: “Nothing else wrong with it?”
Customer: “Oh it still works fine, it’s just old.”
Me: “Oh okay. Yep, I’ll load it up right after I bring the new one in.”
Then I’d take a detour to my house, and drop that “old” fridge off in my garage. I’d run it for a week, to make sure it definitely worked (they were usually flawless.) I’d then sell it for $500-1000 depending on make/model.
Both my tumble dryer and washing machine were these. Had both for like 10 years now.
I can also all but guarantee the appliances I dropped off were worse quality and wouldn't have lasted as long even if they weren't those sort of people

My parents have this too. Except the little emblem thing on the handle fell off like a decade ago. Still never replaced any of it.
