Consumer Rights Act 2015 error??

Options
Your information on the 2015 Act says that it states that goods must be 'Fit for purpose AND last a reasonable length of time'. But on looking into this a bit more, the Which advice on the Act states that only the following are applicable:

Goods need to be:
Satisfactory quality
Fit for purpose
As described

So nothing at all about goods lasting a 'reasonable length of time'? So who is right - you or Which?

I have a dishwasher that has broken down after 2 years 4 months which I consider to be dreadful and way less than the duration it should last. But the shop (AO.com) are refusing to take any liability and say the CR Act 2015 doesn't apply. I want to challenge that view but don't know if I can.

Can you advise - thanks!
David Brittain

    ...

    (a)fitness for all the purposes for which goods of that kind are usually supplied;

    (b)appearance and finish;

    (c)freedom from minor defects;

    (d)safety;

    (e)durability.
