It's insane. My grandmother had one that had to have been made in the 70s. She replaced it last year and I don't think it was because it stopped working.

It had a big dial on the front you turned to set the cook time and had 2 settings -- Cook and Defrost. I somehow doubt it was even properly shielded.

The light switch was invented in 1884 and the ones in my house were installed in 1963.

If we want something more advanced than a light switch, it would be my thermostat, also circa 1963.

While the low energy is not considered to cause cancer, it is good practice to avoid it out of an abundance of cation.

Also the radiation will hurt your eyes, like starring at the sun too long. This is why later versions added the mesh grate over the window to help prevent users from damaged and even completely losing their eye sight.

I haven't ever done anything to it except add a few drops of oil. I don't think it has ever been serviced or repaired otherwise except for a replacement plug end. All the wiring is still original.

I believe it is in need of replacement "shims" on the rotor shaft though. If the tilt is set to straight or tilted back, it makes a bit of a ticking noise. When tilted down slightly (as I prefer it anyway because it's pointed right at my bed) it still runs very quietly.

There's really no good reason a fan should die in a couple years. The hair thing concerns me because I've never even noticed hairs getting into a fan. I'm not sure how that even happens. Pets maybe? Other than oiling you really shouldn't have to do any maintenance. I've noticed that many modern fans lack ports for regular oiling, though, in which case it seems they don't intend you to do it.

A lot of fans use a capacitor for starting which can fail, but it would have to be one seriously junk capacitor to fail after two years. My Westinghouse is one of the first fans ever made with a capacitor, and it should probably be replaced, but it still works 82 years later.
