Married 37 years. All the electrical ones are long dead. But I still have my beautiful, wonderful wife. All that’s important. By the way, we’ve outlived at least half a dozen automobiles during that 37 years.
We’ve been married 40 years, and the Sunbeam mixer is still going strong (unsolicited testimonial, there) , but everything else electric has gone the way of all flesh.
Married 40 years and our original toaster still works. It has outlasted 3 dishwashers, 4 microwaves and 2 refrigerators.
My Hamilton Beach mixer still works, too, but the ball bearings in the rotating bottom plate are worn out. Thing is so old, parts aren’t sold for it anymore.I had to buy another used one to scavenge from.
We still have the Sunbeam electric mixer and West Bend coffee maker; both work fine. Yesterday I polished the two little silver candle holders—-I always treasured them because when we were first married we were very poor, and these were the only “nice” things I had.
My tiny little 3 speed handheld Sunbeam mixer – still going strong after 36 years. Same with my electric fry pan. (remember those – heavy cast aluminum and deep – for all those one pot dishes that needed to simmer)

I’ve outlived all my wedding gifts, but my marriage didn’t.

My sister and I still have a few things that were our parent’s wedding presents, but none of them are appliances.
