Interesting take. I bought the most expensive fridge for quality. 3 years later it stops cooling. I called to have it repaired and was basically laughed at and told 3-5 years is about right for a fridge. Meanwhile my 30 year old olive colored one in the basement still purrs like a kitten.

They soon learned if they made things to last, people wouldn’t be back to buy more any time soon. It’s gross how the throw away quality of everything is by design. Gotta keep profit margins up.
