Ceramic Hob - Life Expectancy

Dilly

I have had mine 11 years. Its a Neff, so top end I guess. Well top price anyway! No problems so far ( fingers crossed) But we are only 2. I do use it nearly every day and is probably the most used cooking methord for me

Its not a warranty claim for a repair etc.

Its a question of how long should it last?

Were looking for a yearly figure to calculate the percentage cost for a rental property.

The question is the same as ''How long is a piece of string?''

Doesn't the SOGA say a reasonable length of time for a product to be useable is approx 6 years? Or is that, how long you have to complain about a fault with them and you proving it was an inherent fault from new. I would say it would be 6 years.

If you are looking at it from a rental property point of view, I would say about 3 years. The amount of abuse appliances get by people renting will shorten it's life no end.

Ok, 6 years tops.

I'd say 6 years too.

Ours broke after 3. Got it fixed and it broke again.

Six sounds good..

T damaged hob, 2 outcomes -

1. T will be fully liable for costs to have the glass replaced (100% of cost). Quotes have been asked for.

2. If the hob is replaced, T will be only charged for 60% of the cost to supply hob, but 100% of the cost to fit the hob.


This is why we require life expectancy.. The life depends on how much T has to pay.

And the winner is.... 8 years..

Thanks all.

I installed a (£250) Baumatic touch control ceramic 9 years ago.

I treat it carefully - it gets cleaned regularly, and pans are not banged down on it.

It's never had a fault and looks 'as new'.

Might it fail tomorrow? Of course?

Do I hope it will last another 5 + years? Yes?
