The topic of gas stoves ignited a heated debate last year when a Biden appointee suggested they could be banned because they posed a risk to human health.
But a ban isn’t in the works — and this week the administration will finalize a scaled-back plan to make new stoves less energy-intensive.
I can’t find anything regarding a <10 year lifespan, and of the various stoves I’ve had, I only replaced one and that was by choice (I wanted an induction stove, which is kind of amazing!)
If you can source the stat, I’ll allow it, otherwise I’ll have to remove it as misinformation.
I also find that claim really odd. Electric stoves are pretty much unbreakable, at least the simple ones are.
Now if we are talking about washing machines or dishwashers…
It’s hard to find a simple coil top stove. Most now have computerized controls, those computers don’t last longer than 10 years before the capacitors in them wear out. Cost of repair is the the cost of a new stove.
