Ever notice how your washer, dryer, or fridge just doesn’t last as long anymore? You’re not imagining it. The average appliance today barely makes it 5 years before breaking down. And here’s why… 👇

🌍 Green mandates from the EU and policymakers pushed manufacturers to make appliances lighter and more energy-efficient. Sounds great, right? Except lighter machines = weaker parts = shorter lifespan. 😬

Want an appliance that lasts? You’ll pay double for brands like Speed Queen that still build for durability—but in the long run, they outlast cheaper machines, making them the real eco-friendly choice. ♻️

Here’s the kicker: making two cheap appliances in the same time it takes to use one durable one ends up being worse for the environment. So, are we really getting it right with all these “green” initiatives? 🤔

📺 Watch the full podcast on YouTube where we dive into how tech and appliances are being built to break—and how we can demand better from manufacturers.
