Imagine a payment processing system that lets merchants accept credit cards and signature debit cards and process ACH payments â all through any Internet connection, with no terminal needed. With Transaction Expressâ¢, you don't need to imagine it â you can have it today.
A well manufactured machine that lasted, with an average life of 17-19 years. The machine was very simple, operating with knobs, buttons, belts and they were easily serviced. Appliances now last about half that time for a variety of reasons. First is energy efficiency. In the 1980s, California initiated the first energy efficiency laws. In order for products to be sold, they would meet certain requirements. That program would morph into todays national EnergyStar program.
Report Abuse. i'm sure modern dishwashers don't last as long as they used too ..... i think you could expect a good ten years from it if you used it every day. Source(s): http://www.dishwasher-review.com/sears-k... would say that the average large appliance should last anywhere from 10 to 20 years, but I would change in 10 so there wont be coast in fixing.
