I just save money and have a 40 year old fridge in my kitchen. What I would save in electric cost does not make buying a new one worth it.
I'd look very carefully at those numbers.
A kilowatt-hour is about 10 US cents where I live and a new fridge of a similar size is about $800
A 40 years old fridge can easily average 200W more than a new one. Depends on the details of how well it's conserved and how good it was to begin with. That would be some $15 a month more.
You always have to evaluate those things.
All the plastic shelves they all have now break anyway, as well as the shitty plastic drawers. The drawers on mine all broke, and the jazz board died twice. Waste of money. I'd rather buy an old one on Marketplace.
You refrigerate your jazz?
You don't!? How else do you get cool jazz?
I refrigerate my cabbage, does jazz cabbage need to be refrigerated?
I don't think so.
As long as it doesn't emit toxic gases, I'm all for it. So many old kitchen appliances are borderline unbreakable
