    The worst part is the silly over priced fridges you buy probably won’t even last 10 years anymore. Sure they’re more efficient, but if you have to replace it every 10-15 years, is it really worth it? I’d sooner have a slightly less efficient fridge that I know will last than one that can show me ads and look fancy.

      “More efficient”

      • has french doors,
      • has water dispenser,
      • has two seperate frozen zones (ice and freezer)
      • has main freezer on bottom

      No way this thing is anywhere near efficent.

      Appliances these days are absolute junk. Nothing last more then like 7-10 years. My parents have a stainless steel kitchen aid fridge thats 20+ years old and works like a charm and a second shitty white fridge thats at least 15 years old by now. My aunt has gone through 2 samsung fridges in 10 years though

        Ya I just went through all that bullshit last year. my old fridge (maybe 15yrs) crapped out and the repair guy told me flat out that they typically don’t repair stuff like that anymore. Manufacturers make it intentionally difficult to obtain parts and even if you can get them, chances are they’ll crap out before too long. I ended up getting a new Danby. I hope it proves me wrong but…
