Perhaps some rental model could work, where appliances are not owned but rented. Although the renter would probably still be on the hook for breakdown due to mis-use and once mis-use is an excuse, there is no incentive to make things last.

this same idea was suggested in another thread, i think for cars, few days ago, and still yes, there's no real incentive. There are excuses all over.
