Well, in SOME instances.
But a 30 year old stove IS a problem for me as well as fluorescent lighting! Ugh!
I wasnt focused on appliances as much as layout and cabinets.
I would keep older appliances that are good brands working as long as possible, because they are made much better than new ones today. New appliances have smaller compressors and components that fail faster because they run more often. Computer panels and sensors fail frequently and are major points of failure.
