    You can buy appliances without smart features still?

    Best Buy has dozens, if not hundreds, of fridges without smart features. I can buy a 18cu top freezer fridge for $450 right now.

    That same type of fridge back in the 1970s cost $300-$400. Adjusted for inflation that’s $2,000

    So I don’t get this post. You can buy cheap fridges still and it’ll probably last a long time if you take care of it. Read repair reports or Google random problems for a fridge you’re looking to buy to see the most common failure points and see what the repair cost would be to factor in future costs.

    Stupid post.
