Our fridge is 18 years old and still works fine. The ice maker still makes ice. There is no water filter to have to replace every few months. It keeps things cold and we will not replace it until it dies.

We had to replace the dishwasher. We ended up with a Bosch. It is a nice dishwasher with some nice racks for the dishes. It is super quiet but SLOW as can be. It takes three hours or more to do the dishes.

From what I hear any new washing machine is front load. Super efficient on water usage and super duper slow compared to the old top load units. Doing laundry will have to be a continuous thing instead of getting it all done in a few hours in one evening.

Ain't modern technology great! Appliances that cost crazy amounts MORE and takes two or three times as long to do the job that the old appliances, and the appliance lasts just a couple of years. Throw it away and buy an new unit. Yep, that will save the planet!
