In many households, appliances become more than just tools; they become part of the family. This is especially true for my uncle, who steadfastly refuses to replace his 14-year-old dishwasher. He insists that it still works perfectly fine, but I can’t help but worry about its safety and efficiency. This situation raises a common question: How long should a dishwasher last, and when is it time to say goodbye?

However, reaching 14 years is quite impressive and suggests that my uncle’s dishwasher has either been exceptionally well cared for or is simply a robust model.
