15 years isn't really that long. Older tvs could last decades. My grandparents are still using a TV they bought at least 30 years ago. My other set of grandparents have some tvs still functioning that are even older than that.

My dad bought a small electric fan in the 70s. It still works (he gave it to me.)

I bought a taller fan in the 00s. The motor burned twice in 5 years and then I couldn't find where to repair it anymore.
