My experience: Our last two washer lasted for 20 years each. We have only third one now and first one did not break :)

I have bought many (6) smartphones and non has broken during my usage and also after I passed them to others.

We have 4th TV at home and each one was fully working when we replaced it after ~ 10 years. Current one (Sony), our first LCD is from 2012 and works perfectly (with just new set top box).

I have bought/got many laptops and any of them has broken. I have laptop from 1996 or 1998 which still works. There were software issues there, but they are fixable by update. (I have never bought Acer or Asus though)

We quit repairing washers when we bought a 20yo Whirlpool. Same story for dryer except it's a 1988 Maytag.
