How about a minimum warranty period on white goods of 10 years mandated by government?

Convince me it's a bad idea?

Define white goods. Define warranty.

Would this guys experience meet your criteria? What are the consequences for failing?

Is it 10 years of normal use or still 10 years if you basically run a laundrette. What if you never used it at all. What if (and where I live this is a serious use for a washing machine) you only used the washing machine for making a special rum based cocktail?
