What's a purchase under $50 that has genuinely improved your daily routine?
There are 2 electronic devices that I genuinely think will still be kicking when im on my deathbed that I own and they both were bought this year while thrifting but are way older than me that I often use one of them is the emerson 77648 fan a model of fan that was first manufactured in 1937 I bought mine thrifting for 10 dollars and I had to replace the power cord the grease and the oil in it but I sleep with it blowing in my face every night my 2nd one that I recently purchased is a sunbeam radiant control toaster mine is a 1950s model but they were manufactured long before that other than having to adjust the tension of the tray with a screw on the bottom of it it worked when I got it I'll likely replace its power cable aswell I paid 6 dollars for it at a goodwill just a few weeks ago I gotta say with this toaster no only does it eliminate the jump scares of modern toasters but it also toasts bread much faster than normal toasters pretty sure that's down to power draw

Toasters that can be disassembled?
I have a sunbeam radiant control toaster and I absolutely love it. It’s 50 years old and still works like new! I had to take it apart when I got it to repair it but it works wonderfully. It’s extremely simple.

Toasters that can be disassembled?
My 1950s Sunbeam Automatic comes apart with a few screws. It's also one of the most fascinating designs I've ever seen. The heating element itself acts as part of the toast lift mechanism.

What's the oldest appliance you own?
Sunbeam Radiant Control toaster from ~1950. I use it at least once a week. I have numerous other vintage appliances too. Stand mixers and blenders from the 1940s ~ 1970s.
