Vintage appliances, which ones stunk?

[OvenMaster]

Up until the 70's, my family bought Roper-built Kenmore washers and electric stoves... when you couldn't afford anything better. The belt-driven washers never failed to leak or break belts every few years. It got to the point where we had the washer sitting crooked in our little laundry nook/alcove with a steel beer serving tray underneath the leaky pump that I would empty for my mom after every load.

In 1993 or so we got a simple two-cycle Whirlpool built Kenmore direct-drive top load washer. Except for an imbalance problem when a rubber thingy got misaligned a couple of years ago (fixed by yours truly after watching a YouTube video), it keeps clunking along and gets a full load done in just 35 minutes.
