Appliances questions, answered by experts

No specific appliance brand lasts longer than others, as the lifespan of appliances varies depending on the type of appliance, product line, and more, in addition to the brand name. However, brands like GE®, LG®, Maytag®, Bosch®, Whirlpool®, and Kitchenaid® are known to manufacture high-quality appliances that tend to have longer lifespans. Many of the appliances from these companies can also more easily be repaired, which helps extend useful life before replacement is necessary.

While most stoves won’t last two decades, some do! Gas stoves and pellet stoves are more likely to go the distance than electric stoves or induction cooktops, and maintenance can go a long way toward increasing longevity.

To effectively service small appliances, perform routine checks for wear and tear, clean components regularly, and ensure all connections are secure.

A standard dishwasher size is 24-by-24-by-35-inch for a built-in unit. The depth and height line up perfectly with most kitchen countertops and cabinet sizes.

While frequent or costly repairs may make you think about replacing your appliance, other signs to replace an appliance include unusual noises and high utility bills. But also keep an eye (and nose) out for more dangerous signs, such as a sparking microwave, a smoking oven, or a leaking fridge. Appliances that spark, smoke, smell foul or burnt, or are leaking may mean that there are broken parts, and this brings higher risk of fire, shock, and water damage.
