Default Should washing machine hoses be replaced every ten years?

I was contemplating what the results would be if one or both hoses
failed while I was away. They ~look~ okay, but I can only see a part

"Every" ten years? Just how long do you expect your machine to last?
Judging by what I see, heard and read, more than 19 years would be a
miracle.


I've had many miracles then.


How many? Seems a bit odd to have machines which last so long and yet to
have had two or more of them. Surely if they are so long-lived, you
wouldn't get through many even in a lifetime.


Almost all my household appliances are miracles according to your definition. Several are multi-miracles. People do seem to have unrealistic ideas about electronics these days.
