3917 washes in 8 years

[crockydoodle]

Had the dyson engineer out on Friday and his computer diagnostic thingy could tell that my washing machine had done 3917 washes in almost 8 years (10 days short of 8 years).
Anyone else know how many washes their machine has done?

And I've done six since then so it's now 3923

On that basis mine should be about 13000.

That's more than one a day! Goodness me - what machine have you got? (no idea for me)

No idea but do about 4 washes a week I think. However used to be only 2 a week before children. So in the last 10 years there have been 3 years and 7 months before children and 6 years and 5 months with. The 4 years and 3 months is 52x2x3 for the 3 years and ((522)/12)x7 for the 7 months so 312+61= 373. For the 6 years it is 52x4x6 = 1248 and the 5 months is ((52x4)/12)x5 = 87 so 1335* post children. Altogether that is 1708.

NB obviously not entirely accurate

Bother. Have seen OP did 8 years not 10 years

Only need to remove 2 years of the first part which is 52x2x2 which is 208 so in 8 years it is 1500. What a nice round number

That is sooo cool! What an awesome little gadget I want one!!! We JUST bought ours so technically I could start counting now, but am sure I would lose count eventually, but would be a good random statistic to throw into conversations at parties!!! (hence why Iw ant one on=f those nifty gadgets)

Mine has done 4500 in 9 years. The engineer says some have done 10,000 or 12,000 washes in that time

Oh my word, I'm shocked. My machine won't tell me but I'm intrigued now, surely I can't have spent that much time doing washing, my least favourite household chore. Liz

Wow, I wonder how accurate it is?

I was feeling grateful the other day that our machine has lasted about 6 years...or is it 7,8...not sure. It's a Hoover.

Mum has got through about 5 in that time! She got a load of rubbish ones, Jackson, that kind of stuff,. I told her not to.

I know the age of mine cos it was bought after ds3 was born and he's just turned 8. And my dh writes the purchase date on the the back of a new appliance for some reason unbeknownst to me
