I still have a microwave I bought in 1983, a Tappan space saver. Only 750 watts but that was the max available at that time, It still works perfect so I refuse to chuck it!..
 
Stove, fridge and microwave from '87. I've got a blender that gets little use from around '73~'74 but I'm thinking you mean major appliances.
 
Stove and oven are originals from the early 60s. For electric appliances, I'm not sure. Most of my stuff is from the early 90s or earlier, and I'm not the original owner of some of it. I'd guesstimate my coffee pot is from the late 70s.

We had a GE stove-top with the push button design, one day I came home from school, made a burger then took a nap only to be awakened to a house full of smoke and a flaming fry-pan, once it cooled the cat decided to jump up to the stove and lick the grease, stepping on the "hi" button, almost caught the kitchen on fire!
 
probably my 8 year-old mix master... it was the first appliance I bought after moving out of my parents' house.

my fridge/stove/microwave were all bought brand new when I moved into this apartment 2 years ago.
 
Oldest? My pre-war radio set circa 1936. Still works great though reception is spotty at times.

Oldest as in longest ive owned it. I've got a portable TV stampped 1981 on the back. I use for playing Genesis games. It's hooked up to an antenna for emergencies.
 
Built the house in 2005, and all the appliances were installed then, so I'm at 7 years. I read somewhere that the average appliance lasts 10 years now, so I'm screwed when they all go out at once.
 
Until recently most of our appliances were from the 70's but over the last couple years we started replacing them. Our furnace and AC are still from the 70's and they're horribly inefficient.
 
I am embarrassed to say that most of my appliance are 1994. fridge(no water dispenser), micro, washer and dryer. No desire to replace them. Hopefully I can get 10 more years out of them so I can brag on this thread.
 
Toaster oven from 10 years or so ago. Microwaves have been absolute pieces of shit. I think we went through 3 in the past 5 years.
 
I inherited my mom's 1959 Kenmore electric can opener that's been regularly used for the entire 53 years and still works like a champ.
 
Wolf gas range. Has to be from the 60s-70s. Great units, I have seen them in many old homes. They seem to last forever.

My mom also has a 1980s Panasonic microwave. The interface on it is hilarious compared to modern microwaves. It makes perfect sense, in an engineer sort of way, once your sort it out.

1. Set your power level (pressing the power button cycles through the power settings)
2. Set your cooking time (4 buttons: 10 minutes, 1 minute, 10 seconds, 1 second, enter your time accordingly)
3. Start

It is fun to see people be completely confused when they try to warm up their slice of cold pizza later on in the night.

The furnace is original to the house, circa 1968. The drill press is 1954. We have hardware from the 1880s (maybe 1870s or earlier on a couple things) and tools from the 1890s, still in use.
