well of course everyone hopes their possessions lasts long, but 8 years for a modern consumer appliance is not bad at all.DoorCrasher wrote: ↑ Hope you are not serious? I just changed my laundry appliances few months ago after 24 years of good work. RIP my Inglis washer. Now, I understand that my new appliances will never last 24 years, but I hope it will be more than 8 years.... We'll see
As said, just replaced my 24 years old Inglis washer and dryer... bough new in 1996 for the price of the washer alone in 2020... And, as said, I do not expect those new appliances to last 24 years, but hope them to last more than 8 years. Hopefully I have not bought Samsung. Went with friends / family reviews, as well as Consumers Report reviews /tests
