The plural of anecdote is not data, but around here (Scandinavia) I've seen lots and lots of Miele and ASKO appliances which are way, way beyond 10 years old.

My 13 year old Miele washer and 9 year old ASKO dryer are still going strong without any signs of their age - and they are being run hard, what with three small kids in the house an'all.

Older Miele washers are generally good quality, but universally anything you buy today is pretty much junk.

And this is coming from an acquaintance of mine, who has installed and serviced white goods for over 30 years.

This "everything was better in the good old days" attitude explains a lot that's going on in the world at the moment. Shame it's demonstrably wrong on many levels.

Shame you couldn't be bothered to do so.

Consumer gear of all kinds is crap. You have to go where the pros go, and that isn't even a sure thing.
