The article argues that modern refrigerators, particularly from brands like Whirlpool, suffer from declining quality and planned obsolescence. Consumers are encountering issues with overpriced appliances that incorporate advanced technology but compromise reliability. Many believe that appliances were once built to last decades, fostering an era of sustainable use. In contrast, current market strategies encourage frequent replacement, reducing the lifespan of products. This shift is attributed to capitalist motives prioritizing profit over quality, leaving consumers frustrated by their experiences with new refrigerators.
Today, profit generation is the only thing that matters, and the push toward making appliances that are expensive yet easily replaced urges consumers to buy appliances that decline in quality every year.
Gone are the days of yore when a piece of furniture or appliance was meant to last for decades. The thought of planning for items to be in your life for decades seems like a bygone era.
