we had a washing machine. a 1990 design, with sheet iron body. the body rusted away after over 8 years of every-other-day's use, even as the plastic tub and the motor were still in working order.
sharp had since used plastic on some of its bodies.

15 years? Damn. That's a world record for me.

My GE freezer chest is at 10 years. 60" Sharp Aquos is at the 7 year mark. Most of my laptops and desktops at 5 year mark. My LG Front load washing machine at 8 year mark.

I'm just having bad luck with the National/Panasonic brand. I'd like to stay away from this brand.

Of course, my all trusted Nokia 3210 which is still working. Lol.

^That's because old appliances were built to last. Unlike today.

they may have been built to last.
but their efficiency ratings "probably left much to be desired".

when we replaced our older ref with a newer one,"malaki ang ibinaba ang konsumo namin ng kuryente".

Have a 25 year old National air conditioner ... still working but it's in the spare room now ... it outlasted the newer models ... refrigerator was about 12 years old ... had replace it with a new inverter one due to energy efficiency concerns ...

BTW, bottom freezer designs are not as efficient as top freezer since the freezer is beside the compressor which is emitting heat ...

Also regarding inverter models ... with refrigerators, there wasn't much difference with the bill ... but with airconditioners, there's a noticeable difference ... replaced two air conditioners with inverter ones and bill went down by 1,500-2,000 ...

We have a vintage ref in the province. Must be at least 50 yrs old lol. There's a lever that you pull to open it. Freezer has no door. AFAIK it's still working.

10 years on the compressor, 1 year standard and an extra 3 years warranty which I bought.

With its initial price and the seemingly high rate of failure of its electronics, is an inverter type refrigerator really a better choice than a conventional one?

I feel like all that savings in power consumption will only be negated by the purchase price and repairs. Or worse, outright replacement.

"seemingly". So far, 3 of 5 people I know who have inverter refs have expressed dismay that their new refs had to be repaired. Pasok pa sa warranty but still. Parang lugi dahil pagkamahal-mahal na ref pero sirain. 2 are Samsungs, 1 is LG, btw.

And the downtime sucks, mabuti kung may back up ref ka.

my LG Linear Compressor 2door is still freezing at -16 and cooling at 2C.

Air conditioners and refrigerators should have ample allowance at the sides and back for air circulation ... many do not follow this and so their units operate inefficiently or overheats ... thereby shortening their lifespan and consuming more electricity ...
