My 1980s GE clock radio and Spacemaker electric can opener are still going strong. The clock radio has no sign of wear or failure to the LCD numerals.

They don't make 'em like they used to. Probably because GE's small appliances were not made overseas then.

"In a period running approximately from the 1920s to the 1980s, GE small appliances were manufactured in Bridgeport, according to company officials. In 2016, Haier acquired GE Appliances for $5.4 billion from GE." Sep 27, 2021
