My GE dishwasher made it about 4 years and my range hood just under 6(needs a new blower due to spun bearing now and it was never sealed well). Garbage.

But the first year service rate for even high end dishwashers is very high(over 10%!). Got a Bosch and got lucky so far but it still feels like luck..

I have a 10 year old Bosch. A part recently failed. I repaired it myself. During the repair I noticed that this thing was built for repairability. The parts manual is available online. The company seems to take an interest in quality.

I just can’t say the same over the other appliance brands in my house.

Likewise. GE dishwasher got a fault after a couple years and spewed water everywhere. Got a Bosch and never had a problem in about 8 years now. It cleans way better too. Simple, reliable, looks and works great.
