In my old house, I had all original appliances dating back to the 70s. My wife hated them them since they were one of those ugly 70s brown colors. The fridge started acting a little funky (probably just needed the coils cleaned) and I finally caved and agreed to buy a new GE fridge. 3 months later it can't keep anything cold, all our food is spoiled, have warranty repair come out, thing leaked all the refrigerant. Guy fixes it, but has no confidence in his repairs, says there's a 50-50 chance it'll leak again. Almost 50 years without issue vs less than a year, new appliances are junk. Only positive was she never complained about the gas stove again.
