There are saddle taps can be added to the refrigeration lines. Often just top it off every few years, like the old 911s with non barrier hose.

I replaced all the hoses on my 911 so I don't have to top it off for many years.

We bought a fridge when we moved into this house 21 years ago. It has been flawless. The ice maker works great, and it doesn't not have the silly filter that has to be changed regularly.

Our old fridge was Harvest Gold, from the 1970s. We gave it to a friend with a cabin at the lake. It still works great.

The prices for new fridges is mind numbing, and they all seem to have lousy reviews. It blows me away that at least one manufacturer just does not make a fridge that will last. I understand designed obsolesce, but the market is ripe for a manufacturer to make a top quality, appliance that will last 30+ years.
