The Elkjop electrical goods store in Norway supplies an environmental impact statement which often includes the manufacturer's estimate of the lifetime. For instance the Ankarsrum Assistent (successor to the classic Electrolux Assistent) kitchen machine it's 30 years with spare parts available for 12 years.

Unfortunately for electronic items the lifetime and spares information is usually blank because the manufacturer doesn't supply it.
