What washing machine has the longest warranty

Alloneword

I'm after fetting a washine machine fitted and want to get one with the longest warranty for parts and labour, I presume bosch and miele are up there but any else?

A warranty is nice, but for me, I'd rather it didn't break in the first place, so there's one on your list I'd go for rather than the other!

Grundig come with 5 years and are sensible prices.

(they are Beko under the styling)

Same here.

We will never have Bosch appliances again!

Strangely, my Miele KFN28133D Fridge Freezer did not last long after the two year warranty expired.

We got an LG washing machine last year which came with a 2 year warranty but an offer at the time to extend to 5 years.


So keep an eye out for offers 🤷🏼!♂️

Samsung is offering an extended 5 year guarantee at the minute

I think you're missing the point about manufacturer warranties, and I say this as someone who works in manufacturing:

A warranty period is a good indication of how long a manufacturer expects a majority of the most expensive components in it's product to last.

A warranty is great and virtually free marketing for a manufacturer, provided most of the components out there don't fail within the warranty period

Think about it, if I offer a 5 year warranty but the most expensive component fails in half of cases within the 5 years, it costs me a fortune to honour the warranty. Whereas if I expect 90% to last the 5 years, it's cost me very little much to offer that warranty.

So, if you want things that won't break in the first place, go for the longest warranty possible, because the fact that it's offered means it probably won't be needed.

And of the two brands mentioned in the OP, (I know Bosch is actually more than one brand) which one has the longest warranty?


As an owner of a Miele which had a 10 year warranty and has now gone almost double that without issue, I don't think I missed the point at all, but feel free to interpret my posts in whatever way you like.

Not all manufacturers are equally good producing all types of white goods. They may get a name for excellence in one area and yet prove only adequate in another.

Depends how much you want to pay, we have a tumble dryer over twenty years old, washing machine fifteen years old, on our second dishwasher eleven years old first one lasting well into double figures all Bosch, all used regularly and only problem was having to replace the belt in the washing machine a couple of years ago.
