Dave, How Long Do Appliances Last These Days??

I think I get asked that question more than any other when I'm helping customers pick out new appliances.  

Before I get into that however, let me give you an update on current promotions:  The July 4th promo period officially ended on Wednesday July 12, but some manufacturers have extended their discount allowances to us for a bit longer.  I can't promise that every single item has been extended, but this list should give you a general guideline.

  • GE -- most offers are extended through 7-19.  
  • Whirlpool, Maytag, Kitchenaid. -- Most deals appear to be over as of July 12.
  • LG --   most deals run through 7-19.
  • Frigidaire/Electrolux -- Good news here!  Deals mostly run through 7-26.
  • Samsung -- most promos now run through 7-26.                                                              

So if you missed the Independence Day sales, in many cases there's still time to hurry into your local Manny's and take advantage!!

Now, back to longevity of today's appliances.

I read through a dozen or more articles last night from various sources trying to find a consensus of estimates.  Below, I'm linking two sites with recent articles that seem to fall in the middle of the curve.

First, from "This Old House":
