[quote=FlyerInHi][quote=CA renter]Hope you didn’t get your new machine, yet. I made a post about washing machines last year. So far, we’ve been using our Speed Queen washing machine very regularly — just about every day — and we love it! I had spent a ton of time doing research on washing machines before buying this one. The techs all seem to say the same thing…these don’t really break down and are made to last for decades.
Wish they made dishwashers like this, as we’re in the market for one of those now.[/quote]
I’m ok replacing appliances more often. They have become cheaper than in decades past. I remember when I was little watching the price is right. Appliances were luxury items back then.
Just went shopping for appliances for a rental. My own fridge is about 4 years old and I already hate it. I want a new one with fancy LED lights. The old lights are ugly.[/quote]
As long as you don’t call yourself “green” or “environmentally responsible” you can do whatever you’d like. Just don’t go around complaining about other people’s wasteful or polluting habits.
Seriously, there is absolutely nothing worse for the environment than planned obsolescence and the marketing machine’s brainwashing people into thinking that everything needs to be “upgraded” or “updated” every few years. It’s a sickness in our society, IMHO.
