Mine… My Xbox 360 slim only costed 129 euro back in 2012 and to this day still work like brand new, you would think that the disc drive would stop working but no. Never had the need of open it or clean it’s insides. Still great, I just don’t use it anymore since I feel it’s outdated and loading speeds are better nowadays.
Thousands of refrigerators bought in 2022 are already in landfills.
So you’re trying to say here that frisges don’t last longer than a year now?
Bullshit
I’ve warrantied two fridges in their first year for failed VFDs. So, yes, I’ll say that quite a few don’t last a year. And I’d wager most of those 1940’s fridges were still working when they were discarded, just obsolete in 1950’s kitchens.
So you had production quality issues, that doesn’t mean that modern frisges dont last, not to mention that this is just a personal bad experience. Every frisge I’ve bought lasted for decades, the last one going 5 years and strong.
If I’d have to venture a guess, is say that most.modern fridges will last about 10-20 years easily. Few moving parts, so makes sense
That doesn’t mean that those fridges were simply discarded. They were probably refurbished and re-sold.
And what you described about being obsolete sounds like a fashion thing, not an engineering thing.
