A recent issue of Consumer Reports offered a timeline to determine when to say "adios" to old appliances that aren't operating properly. The magazine took into account age, typical repair and replacement costs, and improvements made in newer models.
Here are the ages when it's more sensible to replace an appliance than fix it:
- Six years: dishwashers, over-the range microwaves, top-freezer refrigerators
- Seven years: clothes dryers and top-loader washers
Eight years: Bottom-freezer and side-by-side refrigerators, electric or gas ranges, electric wall ovens and front-loader washers. I hope you found this post interesting. Feel free to email me at anytime at: findit@LehighValleyRealty.com
