Mt parents bought a refrigerator in about 1960 when we lived in Hawaii. It moved with us as a military family over a dozen times. They finally cave it away to a friend for helping them install a new fridge to match the remodeled kitchen. It likely is still working but using twice the electricity of a modern fridge.

I sold my parents washing machine at the estate sale that I bet was 30 years old.

So yea, the old phrase "they don't make em like they used to" is 100% accurate. Now all the appliances have insane electronic do-dads and use far less energy but they have designed in obsolesce and short life span.

I am a computer geek and love gadgets but I can't fathom any possible reason to have my fridge connected to the internet.
