Mine... My Xbox 360 slim only costed 129 euro back in 2012 and to this day still work like brand new, you would think that the disc drive would stop working but no. Never had the need of open it or clean it's insides. Still great, I just don't use it anymore since I feel it's outdated and loading speeds are better nowadays.

What the f I never hear of that or knew it was a thing. My goodness I could have used that years agoโ€ฆ sounds awesome!

they're not advertised much in the united states and i think it's because the profit margins are bigger with the traditional home washers & dryers since portable ones require more more machinery and electronics to clean clothes, whereas the traditional ones rely on your home's specialized power grid and plumbing along w simpler machinery.

they're more common in places where 240v grids aren't as plentiful like latin america and asia; which is where i learned of them.

also know that well known appliance company branded ones (eg magic chef, black+decker, maytag, lg, speed queen, ge, etc.) are the same as the off brand ones, but w a company logo and price tag attached.
