Appliance Sales questions, answered by experts

Typically, most appliances last anywhere from 10 to 15 years, depending on the appliance, brand, and amount of use. Keeping a regular maintenance schedule, including cleaning and tune-ups, also helps appliances last longer. Dryers, gas stoves, and refrigerators tend to last the longest, averaging about 13 to 15 years. Microwaves and dishwashers tend to last about 10 years on average.

An oven is its own appliance without a cooktop, while a range combines an oven and a cooktop. Each type of oven has pros and cons, but your choice will depend on your cooking habits, your space, and your budget.

Practically, everything. However, steam ovens work best with delicate ingredients with high moisture levels, such as vegetables, eggs, porridge, and oatmeal. As long as your oven is big enough, you can also use steam ovens to cook meat, fish, pasta, and even pizzas. They are also a great option for reheating leftovers since they can retain the flavors.

One way to reduce the cost of a new appliance is to look for sales and buy on certain holidays, like Memorial Day weekend and Black Friday. If you don’t mind a blemish or two on the appliance, look for scratch-and-dent units, which are often available at a significant bargain.

A microwave can last anywhere from five to 10 years. To get the most out of this appliance, you should follow a few maintenance tips:

Immediately clean up spills and food bits. To help with stuck-on food, heat a bowl of water with ¼ cup of lemon juice for one minute.
For over-the-range microwaves, clean the grease filter that’s underneath it. This will ensure the microwave runs efficiently.
Never put anything metal in the microwave, as it can create a fire hazard. Also, avoid dishes with metal trim for the same reason.
Avoid slamming the door. With years of use, the door switches could easily break.
