Decide Whether To Repair Or Replace An Appliance

The repair quote landed and it is either clearly worth it or clearly not, except you cannot tell which because nobody tells you how old is too old for a washing machine. This weighs the repair cost against age, replacement price, and running costs and gives you a straight answer. Suits anyone staring at a broken appliance and a repair quote.
