How long can you expect a washing machine to last? Miele washing machines are built to last decades, guaranteeing you won't need to replace one for much longer than any other brand.

There are two main types of washers: front-loading and top-loading. Front-load washers last about 10 to 12 years, while top-load washing machines usually last up to 14 years. Front-load models are newer to the market, while top-loading machines have been popular for generations.

And with older appliances you'll need to weigh up the risk that, after paying to fix one problem, something else may break. If you have a front loader, once it hits 12 years of age, it'll likely be cheaper to replace it than repair it, even for more minor failures. For a top loader, that figure drops to seven years.
