6. Things aren't built to last anymore.

My Cuisinart food processor is fifty years old. It's missing one of its little feet so it's a bit wobbly, like me. Otherwise it's chugging along just fine. About 40 years ago, the company replaced the shaft when it got bent trying to slice pepperoni and refurbished the motor. Customer service and durability, things from the past.
