My wife wants a bigger, more modern fridge, but I'm afraid I'll end up replacing it every 5 years.

The guy (kid) at a local appliance store told me that a fridge can last as long as 8 years now.
My parents had one from the late 1960's that lasted into the 1990s. They had very little to go wrong. The newer ones have computer control units which can go bad with bad electricity.
