Q. How long should a dishwasher last?

When you finally get one you'll wonder how you ever got along without it but a dishwasher is one of those appliances that you can't imagine life without. It is a fantastic advantage to have particularly if you often host gatherings or have a large family. However dishwashers do not have an indefinite lifespan. According to the manufacturers that were questioned by Consumer Reports the average lifespan of a dishwasher is somewhere around ten years. On the other hand it is typical for problems to emerge with the appliances within the first five years.
