So you want to know how long do these newly produced home appliances last? You had paid good amount of money to buy and install new washing machine, new fridge, dryer, dishwasher, air-conditioner, or who knows one of those home appliances. Now you wonder how long you do not have to worry about wear and tear or any of those serious problems, when you need to call home appliance experts!
Well, before you consider purchasing an appliance, take an advice: do not run after the most recent and advanced models? They are more expensive; and believe me, fixing them is also quite expensive.
