I moved here in 1983. Mid-range Hotpoint lasted until 2006 with just one set of new brushes bought from the co-op and fitted myself. By the end it leaked a little but nothing a baking tray couldn't cope with. I still use the drum to grow veg and the glass door is a cloche.
In 2006 we bought a new kitchen and got a free AEG machine. Still going strong.

Do you have any evidence that washing machines are ending up as "lots more landfill"?
Do you know which landfill sites are accepting them?
No I don't, as far as I'm aware scrappies take them for the metal, but unfortunately there is also plastic etc in them which is not economical to recycle, and that's the real problem.For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple and wrong.0
