Hi guys.
I've owned my Hotpoint dishwasher for 9 years now. Never had a fault. Never blocked. Always great results and its in use every day some days two or three loads depending on if family come to visit. My question is how long can a dishwasher actually last for before it dies completely? I wanted to upgrade to a new one so it uses less water as I'm on a meter but I've heard bad reports about most new ones. Ie smells in them and most not lasting past three years. I've never even had any bad odours from my machine while not being used. I want to upgrade but really scared in case I make a bad choice. Any suggestions?

IIRC my AEG Öko Lavamat is at least 15 years old now.
There are some small issues with it. Years ago the fan stopped working, but the drying is still good when you open the door a little after it's done. And the 50 degrees cycle with prewash sometimes restarts automatically. For the rest it's great and rather silent with it's 45dB. | ||

It varies
My mams aeg 420 favorit is 22 yrs old and never broke down. It now only gets used 4 times a week approx but has certainly clocked up some miles. The cost of a new one minus what you'd get if you sold your Hotpoint and what you'd save in water is perhaps marginal. The new Bosch one which only uses 7 Ltrs would save most but may cost more too. I would keep the hottie till it breaks as the new ones will get cheaper and more efficient as time goes by.

Dodgy DWs were out there years ago too!
I share the age of my diswasher with you!
I quickly wanted to say that dodgy machines were around some time ago too. I bought an Indesit back in 2000 which lasted me only 3 years... and I wasn't even using it everyday because I was on my own. I then got my current Candy in 2003 which is been working everyday since there have been 2 people (sometimes 3) in my household. Anyway... it would be nice to get a shiny new appliance after at least a decade ;-) | ||

I believe in the BOEING approach
I believe it was BOEING that once stated that an airplane can last forever, properly maintained.
For that reason I believe any appliance can last forever, properly maintained. My dishwasher, a Kitchenaid, has broken many times. I keep on fixing it. Annoying yes but I deal with it... However, in my opinion, a couple of things should indicate end-of-life: A) Persistent water leaks or holes in the tub. B) Burning components or burnt / damaged wiring harnesses. | ||
