Do high end kitchen appliances last longer

My parents have had far more trouble (multiple pricey repairs) with their Miele dishwasher and KitchenAid walls ovens (each just under 10 years old) than I have with my GE dishwasher (a midrange model) and HotChef range/oven, both of which are at least 15 years old and have never needed repair.

I renovated my kitchen about 4 years ago and put in high-end appliances. I will be honest that my husband was very skeptical about whether we needed to spend so much money. I had more faith that it was the right decision, but still worried because it added so much to the final total cost. However, I really do love them and haven't had any issues with any of them except the dishwasher and those issues aren't huge. I have a 6-burner Thermador cooktop with griddle, wall ovens and dishwasher and a Sub Zero refrigerator. I absolutely love the Sub Zero and would highly recommend it! Ditto for the cooktop and wall ovens. I can't say I love the dishwasher because it hasn't been washing my dishes as well lately and, also it does not dry any plastic items very well. It is also a Thermador, but it was actually made by Bosche.

I don't know that I can answer your original question about the appliances lasting longer, but I would imagine that they do. They are certainly built better and have a higher quality than regular appliances. It's worth considering!

Sorry, HotPoint, not HotChef. Must have Mad Men/Burger Chef on the brain.
