How long is a washing machine supposed to last?

[Northern Lass]

Well how long is it supposed to last?
I have just had to buy a new one after 4 years!
Yet my other one I had over 15 years!

So not a happy bunny

Depends on the make,

what you mean pay peanuts get monkeys

[Rob]

Yeah but were you thinner 15 years ago?
I don't know if you're slim or chubby but if your size has increased witin the last few years then that could be a reason why your washing machine has not lasted as long as the previous one!1
That's one reason.Another could be that you're careful with your money(i'm not saying you're a tight wad) but that could also be a reason why it didn't last so long.A cheaper model!!
I hope this helps.

nor do I sit on top of it
let's not go there

[Rob]

Larger clothes duh!!
Larger clothes means more revs per minute means more stress on the motor!!
It's a well known fact that washing machines belonging to larger people have shorter lives.
You still haven't said if the washing machines were from the same manufacturer.

now interestingly the best machines I ever had have been Zanussi

if you dont wash your close im not getting within 50 ft of you pongy

[Annie]

I have a Zanussi but not very happy with it, only got a cold water pipe for filling so it takes ages for the water to heat up, I can't imagine why I bought a washer with only one fill pipe.

Annie

[Jimmy]

I think you can only get cold fill now.

think you find all new washing machine are the same now annie, because powder surpose to clean at a lower temp 30 to 40 deg your wasting power by putting cold water into hot water that already been heated to cool it down. so its so called more greener to just heat cold water from scratch

also still some houses using back boiler and hot water tanks no need to heat water, store it in the tank to wash and poss heating too much water up.

[Annie]

Hi Peterd & Jimmy you live and learn and there I was thinking about changing it, it's good thought about the cold cooling the hot down when it's already been heated once didn't look at it that way,so I will hang on to my Zanussi.

Annie

[Rob]

We're not just pretty faces you know Annie!!
Well i might be!!
