Because people keep their fridges too long. They need to be able to remote brick them when they want you to buy a new one.
Protip: Avoid Samsung when buying appliances
That’s a lot of money for a fancy box of cold.
Fk SmartHomes TBH, things shouldn´t be so complex just so you can be a tiny bit more lazy.
Agreed. It should say “costs”.
I’ll show myself out now.
it seems like it happens enough to be an acceptable alternate way of saying the cost of something; I see it a lot, including (in fact mostly) by native speakers
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.
Those things make it more inefficient?
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…
Probably not cool because they’re not plugged in
Yeah it doesn’t seem to be running. It’s just standing there.
How efficient is it? For that price I would expect top values. But seeing those 2 doors (for whatever reason someone wants to waste space like that): I doubt it.
how does two doors make it less space efficient
if anything, the freezer is more space efficient since there’s no drawer to take up space
More doors = more gaskets = more seams = more heat loss = less energy efficent
