Message: [QUOTE="Bigboote, post: 4350841, member: 7631"] Our water heater gave up the ghost a few years ago. We'd had it since we moved into the house almost 20 years earlier, and it was pretty old then. I'd say it was probably between 30 and 40 years old when we had it replaced. The plumber asked us if we wanted the 5-year model or 10-year model. As in how long they'd last. We asked, well how about 25 years, and he said nope, nothing would last much more than ten. My wife has become adept at fixing the washer and dryer (thank you youtube). Our dryer is from probably around 1980. She's replaced a sensor and something else in 20-plus years. The washer is a high-end high-efficiency model that's probably 10 years old. She's fixed it at least twice. [/QUOTE]
