good luck on longevity! Seems everything is made to not last as long--we replaced toaster (same brand) this winter that had been used for 19 yrs before starting to ail--well the new one is so cheaply made!

On the other hand, when my dishwasher was not getting the job done, despite running ok and hot water, the appliance salesman I bought it from was schocked that it lasted 16 yrs! Said they really are only made to last about 6-8 so just replace, not repair. And my electrician, when our wired in smoke detectors when haywire could not believe we were using the original--he said for safety reason replace them every 5-7 yrs. Who knew?
