I have a mini fridge purchased new early 00s that I recently left unplugged for a day or so to melt the ice buildup on the freezer.
Not that I'm happy with the overall state of appliances these days, but the reality is that technology is still improving, but some of those "improvements" aren't for the buyer's benefit (while others are). And there's plenty of plain old cheap shit in a nice brushed stainless steel package to make it look high end.
Like induction stoves and convection ovens weren't really a thing in the 80s but imo are way better than what came before. But, despite being a convection oven, the cheap one the developers picked for my place is the worst oven I've ever used. And I'm hesitant to "upgrade" because, despite knowing they can be better, there's a good chance whatever I end up getting won't, or make will be at first but will start degrading rapidly from day 1 such that it's shitty by the time the warranty runs out.
That is the big difference between modern and older appliances. The older ones were made in good faith, the newer ones are a gamble because we have an economic system based on greed and it has progressed a lot since the 50s.
