I have a soy milk maker that I have had for 15 years and it still works fine (though I think that is made in Japan). The Panasonic microwave is 16 years old (not sure where it is made, but I would assume Japan). My blender and mixer (I think they are both Oster, which is made in Sweden if I remember correctly) are over 10 year old. The only newer stuff I have is Cuisinart Kuerig Coffee Maker and my toaster oven (GE).
