Remember that old washing machine you bought back in the 1980s? The one that seemed to go on for ever? And then there was the one you bought only a couple of years back, which seemed to give up the ghost more quickly than an ultra-fast spin cycle. They don't build them like they used to.

Even the industry admits that the lifespan of white goods has fallen. But then so too have prices. So how long should a fridge or a freezer last, and is it worth spending a bit more on a better model?
