This reminds me. I need to call my uncle and ask him about that Fridge at his country place that’s been running since 1994. He’s selling his place and I want that fridge!
It’s been running since 1994? He should probably think about catching it!
daaaaad!
Sorry kiddo but you know I had to do it
Sadly, fridges are the one appliance that uses the most energy, it runs 24/7, so running an older model will cost you a lot in the long term. I have a 20 year old fridge that hasn’t had a problem ever, save a broken glass shelf and a door basket, and I’m replacing it with a dumb one with the best energy rating. It’s the same with cars, although it’s getting harder to find “dumb” cars.
My fridge is about that old too. It’s entirely possible that fridge will still be chugging along in 2050. Whereas a brand new Samsung fridge has about a zero chance of lasting until 2050.
Not zero, about the same as the survivorship bias of old appliances.
And the electricity cost will be about 10 times lower.
