One downside i see with this is that it is often unclear how long an item will last. For example, I bought my dishwasher in 2021. When will they need to be replaced? The last one lasted 24 years, but I’m not going to bet on the new one lasting as long.



Right. Basically, I can assume that at at least one thing in the household breaks each year. This year, it was the microwave oven.
