I did a lot of searching and decided on a basic Whirlpool fridge. No fancy options or addons, lots of space, and its either cold or freezing. No special zones or what have you. 800$ on sale

I'll pay 1600 for one that lasts 2x as long and 2400 for one that lasts 3x as long, but one such doesnt exist. People eho have been selling appliances or working with appliances for decades say even the highest quality fridges can only be guaranteed max 10 years these days.

Which is tragic, considering a lot of older fridges were built to last decades. Granted, they probably weren't as efficient but if something broke you basically threatened the fridge with a wrench and it started working lol

People suxh as this guy selling appliances for 37 years, are resigning themselves to the junk cycle and getting cheapest possible.

But i think his budget comes into play

I found a subzero fridge today at a yard sale and im going to get it. Hope it works
