"It makes sense to want your washing machine to go the distance - especially when the best models are no small investment. A machine takes on a heavy workload, so knowing how long it should last - and what you can do to extend its lifespan - is key to getting the most from your purchase. On average, most washing machines will keep going strong for around a decade."
"On average, most washing machines will give you around 10-12 years of reliable service. "Entry-level models might begin to struggle earlier, whereas premium washing machines can last for more than fifteen years if cared for properly," explains Katy Roberts, washing machine expert at AO.com. At the top end, some brands engineer their machines with longevity in mind. As Tom Akers, Product Training Manager at Miele GB, explains: "A Miele washing machine is designed to last for 20 years with proper care and maintenance.""
Most washing machines provide roughly 10–12 years of reliable service, with entry-level models often failing sooner and premium models lasting beyond fifteen years with proper care. Some manufacturers design machines to endure up to 20 years when maintained correctly. Longevity depends on build quality, frequency of use, correct loading of the drum, routine cleaning, and timely attention to early warning signs of wear. Regular maintenance and avoiding common mistakes prolong appliance life. Knowing when repairs cost more than replacement helps optimize cost and reduce frustration over repeated breakdowns.
