I’ve had my washing machine for 14 years, I’ve been paying around £15 a month for the whole time I’ve owned it for a maintenance plan. It’s only broken down once in that time, I’d have replaced it by now if it wasn’t for the fact that I’ve paid enough to buy about 3 washing machines and they’ll replace it if it can’t be fixed. I got a new kitchen a couple of years ago and the machine was the only thing I didn’t replace, it’s going to last forever I think.
Have any of you got any long lasting appliances?

I bought a small chest freezer off my mate for £30 15 years ago, it's still running like a dream.

I've never bought a maintenance contract or extended guarantee for anything and I can't remember being unhappy with anything breaking too early.
TVs from Richer Sounds come with a 6 year guarantee as do the majority of their products. John Lewis extends guarantees on a lot of stuff too so if you stuck the £15 in a savings account, you'd have enough to buy a brand new machine by the time the guarantee runs out.

I've just replaced my VAX vacuum cleaner because my wife dropped it and a wheel has since disintegrated. Miele one arrived today, it sucks! Nearly lifted the carpet off the floor!!!!
There is no such thing as too much yarn, just not enough time.

My wife and I received a Kenwood electric tin opener as a wedding gift almost 22 years ago and it's still going strong - which is more than can said for either of us!

I got given a fridge/freezer in 1998 that was about 15 years old and gave it away when utility room was done up 10 years ago. Last I heard it was still going strong.

I can’t totally verify this but we were told that the washer dryer that was in my house when we bought it was the one put in when the house was built in 2003.
The dryer part has just gone in the last couple of months.

I’m frightened to post on this thread for fear of jinxing it, but we bought an American strike LG fridge freezer when we bought when we moved into our house almost 17 years ago and it’s still doing a grand job.

I need to work on a mechanism that drops the records onto the record player, but I have a record player from the late fifties that I absolutely adore.

We bought a zanussi fridge when we got married in 1990, it’s been used continuously since then and still works perfectly (it has been a beer fridge in the garage since about 2005)

Got a tumble drier that left Edinburgh with us in 1985, we bought it in 1983. Three moves later and still going strong.
It'll be at my funeral.

Between it and the washing machine. I'm popular with both.
