Usual life of appliances

jainraghav74

Is there any guide that shows typical life of various household appliances
I know usage and maintenance will greatly impact the life, what is there any rule of thumb value for:

TV
Washing machine
Oven
Microwave
Fridge-Freezer
Boiler

This is to budget and keep certain sum aside based on life of each of these products.

My own thoughts and expectation below, based on "average" usage for a family of four (whatever that is).

Microwave - until the end of the world.
Fridge-Freezer - 10+ years
Boiler - 15 years

I've tended to buy just over mid-range when replacing appliances, and my current ones are -
TV - LG 7 years
Washing Machine - LG 6 years (replaced a 9 year old LG)
Oven - Belling gas 16 years
Fridge - cheap Beko, door fell off after 15 years!
Freezer - cheap Beko to cope with low temps, 6 years
Boiler - Ideal, 5 years

Microwave - Panasonic 10 years
Dishwasher - AEG 16 years


All A+ rated when purchased and still OK (touch wood).

Apart from TVs, which usually do 5-7 years, I've had 10+ years out of all of the others.

I moved in here in 2006.

TV - pioneer bought about 2007
Washing machine - Bosch about the same
Oven - about the same
Microwave - maybe 4 years
Fridge-Freezer - Samsung maybe 4 years
Boiler - Worcester about a year

I’ve had my washer, dryer and dishwasher over 10 years and never a problem, Bosch, brilliant.

Impossible to know unless you tell us the model.


Random points.


TV, my last LG lasted 11 years, only replaced it becuase I wanted an update.


Wahine machine. I buy the cheapest with the fastest spin (and some other minor requirements). They last around 10 years if you are lucky. Maybe less if not, and they are not worth repairing given the cost.


Oven. Again 10 years odd. Current one the grill was DOA and I nevber got around to dealing with it in time so I may repalce early. My fault entirely!



Microwave. Until the internal rust rot bother you? OH does not let it air adiquately. Say 5 years,


Fridge Freezer. Never had one die. Just repalced becuase I wanted. Most important part is to make sure it is level. (and maintain!)


Boiler. One post 2005? 10 years is yo uare lucky. Pre 2005 forever if rightly maintained.


Anyway like I said all down to what you buy. The most expensive probably not being the best either.
