Is anyone else outraged that appliances only last 5 years (or less) these days?

We just replaced ours.. But lesson learned-- take your plates to the store and be sure they fit! Many of the newer quieter models have smaller insides!
Can't offer any advice because 40 years ago we were advised since we were on a septic system not to have a garbage disposal or dishwasher. City sewer got installed last year. Dishes still get done by hand and sink debris goes in the trash can. Have never had to have any of the main lines cleaned & before the sewer install, septic tank went 12 years without being pumped (but it was really full when they installed the sewer lines). Gosh...think of all the money we've saved over the years.....LBYM FTW!
Just earlier this week, I paid 2x that to have the freaking pool pump replaced. It hurt like crazy, but if algae starts turning the pool into a pond, it hurts even more.

We are septic too, and I get the garbage disposal...but dishwasher..it's not really any different then a washing machine. ....
+1 we have a septic and were advised not to have a garbage disposal but we have a dishwasher and no problems. FWIW, I think we could have a garbage disposal as long as we were careful and tried to minimize the grease, fats and oils getting into the system. DW wants one, but I have been resistant since they told us that we shouldn't but my Mom just down the road from us has septic and a garbage disposal and has never had a problem.
