I don't even know top loaders are a thing in Italy, never seen one used in EU context.

Some people are just incredibly ignorant and can't accept facts. Planned obsolescence is a thing, natural progress is another. You can't have progress if you can't abandon old stuff, and people with a grasp of consumer electronics all agree that we couldn't have had all the utilities and luxuries we have today with the technology of twenty years ago. Imagine thinking an 80' laptop would suffice for today... you couldn't even write emails on them.

People tend to see things in strange ways. They see a washing machine that is 30 years old and say "well it must be good if it last that long" But I know use is far more important than time. If the thing looks brand new maybe it wasn't used that much. Use of something is very important. Based on what I see here I think many of these people just sit this stuff on a shelf to look at it. Meanwhile I now work in IT but I must be the one that doesn't understand technology.
