Small appliance lifespan and maintenance
Average lifespan: around 5 years
Small appliances last four to six years on average. Limescale and clogged filters are their main enemies.
Descaling a coffee machine or kettle regularly, and cleaning vacuum filters, is often enough to double their working life.

Frequently asked questions
How often should you descale a coffee machine?
Roughly every two months in hard-water areas, every three months in soft-water ones. Limescale kills performance first and blocks the machine eventually.
