Join Francesco and Dennis at Appliance Advisers as they delve into the post-COVID landscape and discuss the evolving lifespan of appliances. In this insightful video, they explore the changes in consumer expectations and the reasons behind the shift in appliance longevity.

Pre-COVID, the average lifespan of appliances was around seven to nine years, with anything beyond seven considered a bonus. However, the post-COVID era has brought about a significant increase in service needs due to a shortage of crucial components like control parts and microchips. The global demand and supply chain challenges have led manufacturers to integrate new and sometimes untested components into appliances.

The duo revises the average lifespan to six to eight years, acknowledging the impact of variables such as usage patterns, family size, and water quality. Francesco shares his personal experience and emphasizes that while some appliances may last longer, others may face premature failure.

They also address the common question of why invest in higher-priced appliances if all appliances have a similar lifespan. The answer lies in the fact that certain components and brands do offer better durability and longevity.

Dennis highlights the constant and demanding usage of appliances compared to other products, emphasizing that appliances run 24/7, unlike cars that are traded in every few years.

The video concludes with a reminder to temper expectations and consider individual circumstances when evaluating the lifespan of appliances.

Dennis and Fran are back on Appliance Advisers with a crucial topic many over think – When is the Right Time to Buy Appliances? Join the conversation as they break down key considerations for choosing the right time to buy the appliances for your kitchen while saving the most money possible.

Key Points:

What is UMRP?: Unilateral Minimal Retail Pricing (UMRP) is the set price for the industry of appliances. No matter where you buy an appliance, the price should be the same. Some companies mark up the appliance you want to buy and have a "sale" to get it back to the UMRP so you think you are saving money.

Holidays: One of the best times to buy appliances is during holidays. Black Friday, July Fourth, Labor Day, Memorial Day, and many more.

There is Always a Promotion: Post-COVID, it seems that manufacturers always show a promotion on the appliances they offer. Don't wait for holidays when a promotion is going on.

When to Be Careful: Around Tax-Free Weekend, many people buy appliances to save the tax. However, because there is so much demand, the supply will dip. After your project is finished and it's time to get appliances, you want it to go smoothly after spending time and money on your kitchen.
