Sometimes I will use something and realize I've owned it forever. It's a nice change in our throwaway reality. I think my personal record is a bicycle multi-tool I got for one of my first bikes, ~25 years ago. Still have it, still use it. When it comes to electronic devices I have a Panasonic mini Hi-Fi from ~2005. Never felt like changing it.

What's your record?

I didn't even think of the TV. I bought a (then) top of the line Hitachi Plasma TV in 2006. It has seen daily use all this time. I can easily believe I'll get 20 years out of it.

Fun fact: the kids have actually probably watched it more than I have, and I had a 5+ year head start.
