Had a big but cheap Samsung microwave my parents bought me to go to uni with - it lasted about 20 years before the magnatron started throwing sparks everywhere. Our Smeg microwave lasted a fraction of that time before it started dying.
Have stereo components (British and Japanese) that are still going strong after 25 years with minimal intervention.
Have certainly noticed that there's a quicker turnaround in models of appliance in general these days so even if the parts were servicable (less likely it seems as time goes by) it's hard to get them after a few years.
