If the new refrigerators would last more than a couple of years I would agree with your opinion but most are JUNK! (read the reviews and pages of complaints on ALL models and brands) I wish I could find a way of doing without one altogether. I am just sick of the constant problems related to products that are designed to be trashed shortly after purchase. My “new” fridge just broke down AGAIN today and I don’t even feel like looking for a new one as it will just be the same no matter what brand or model I choose. We are all being ripped off with inferior products and at some point we need to say enough already and just refuse to purchase anything new.

For me I think it is a no brainer that buying a new refrigerator is a smart idea. First off, I have no idea how old my current refrigerator is, but I know that it is old enough that the door sags a little bit which leaves about an 1/8 or so inch gap where the magnet doesn’t seal to metal on both the frige and freezer door. This has just GOT to be costing me money. Add to it that I would rather have a side by side, instead of the old stype bottom frige model I currently have and it just seems like a good buy. In fact I’ve read some good things about the Whirlpool GD5NVAXS

Agreed – new models are both more efficient at cooling the compartment as well as insulating it too. They also may not contain the nasties that your old one may have like CFC’s. Make sure you dispose of your old fridge carefully!
