We recently had a dishwasher repairman fix our ~15 year old dishwasher. We chatted about buy vs repair and he noted our fixed-and-woking-again dishwasher could potentially still last longer than a new replacement, because of worse quality of the new ones.
- doubled112 4y agoThat sounds about right. My mother had a washing machine for 25 years and it had only had a couple of belts replaced. Her new washer failed within a year, and has been replaced by a washer that has also failed within a couple of years. Electronics failure in both. The control board is expensive. Not like a $25 belt.
