Durability of washing machine - How many complete washing cycles (approx.) has your washing machine done over years ?

My Bosch washer dryer WVD24520GB lasted 13 years, pump failure after 8 years, water heating failure a few years later, then dryer pump failure, now the bearings are gone. I replaced the pump, heating element and thermostat, but the water still didn’t heat. Probably roughly 5,000 wash cycles. I’m not impressed, a family doing two washes a week would see the first failure at 4 years, probably much sooner. That said, it was a fairly cheap unit.

Guess this is where durability ends.

Some clearances developed is who knows where, with loud mechanical noise as consequence.

So we decided, new Miele WCA 030. Arriving today.

I appreciate Andy's comments about Miele new range, which made me think about it for half a day.

But target price range was determining factor.

Honestly, if it last 10 years, i will be happy.

Drum bearings wore out finally.

Can not decide if we should replace drum bearins or just buy new mid range model.

One thing i noticed is that new machine drums nowday seem smaller.

11 years old and about 5000 washing cycles. Had to replace carbon brushes and drain pump this year, and now it is in top shape.

Used once Dr. Beckmanns service it washing machine cleaner, which seemed to be beneficial.

Over 10 years now and another 500 washes. No maintenance work in past year. Any similar experiences ?
