| We're on our second Miele. The first lasted 12 years. |
NEVER! Our friend recommended it to us. We bought one 6 months later. FF 7 years, theirs broke and they don't sell parts. Six months later our broke. Planned obsolescence big time! We've had our ASKO for 16 years now. No complaints. |

Our Bosch is 8 yrs old. Needed no service so far.
Avoid GE. The GE Appliances brand was sold to Chinese company Haier a few years back. Quality of GE branded appliances has tanked since then. |
| Just replaced a 23 year old Bosch with another Bosch. I have no illusions this new one will last 23 years. I’m hoping for at least 10. |
| This will age me, but I miss Sears/Kenmore. My Bosch will be 12 years old this Summer. Probably just jinxed myself. |
| We’re on our second Bosch. First lasted 9 years. It needed a repair that would have cost $300 so we spent an extra $600 (at the time) and got a new one. It’s been 5 years for the second. |
| Thermidor. |
| Definitely Bosch. My mother’s is 17 years old, I bought the same one. |
| My Bosch is terrible. |
+1 On year 8 and works like it did on day one, and we didn't go with the most expensive model or anything. The only thing I regret was not paying for the next trim level up so that the buttons were on the top of the door -- we can't wash anything while my 16 month old is awake! |
| Our Bosch is 8+ years old. No issues. No service. Reliable. Not the most expensive model. |
| I've got a Kitchen-Aid, it's 4 years old and works like it did when it was brand new. |
| After our 3rd GE, sales clerk said seems like you have problems with GE, lol. True. KitchenAid is great, no issues in 5 years so far. |
Google whether it has a panel lockout feature that you activate by pressing buttons. My 25 year old Whirlpool had that on a rather primitive digital control panel. Just don't download manuals from sketchy sites. Google for instructions. Report back if it works. |

My Samsung is 12 year old and still going strong. I know people don’t recommend them though.
Are you sure a new motor is $500? Have you looked on eBay? We buy a lot of parts there. |
