This is so wrong on all levels and I would feel the same way as in an around about way they are saying buy the new model and forget what you already have.

It is a dirty tactic for sure and reminds me of when how when I was young your family would buy one television that sat in the living room and you needed a forklift to move it to the other side of the room, let alone another house. That think will outlive all of us. These days, electronics are never meant to last more than a few years.
Very true and why I rent appliances these days as for some reason after 24 months they stop working by design. I am sure the chips inside are only meant to last so many months. I have a fridge that dates back to 1989 when I bought it new from a scratch and dent shop ad t still works like new without even a service. I must have bought at least 10 other fridges over that time period. Quality is definitely not the same today.
was the fridge in question really expensive?
No cheapest brand on the market and I refuse to buy that brand anymore as they literally last 2 years and 1 month falling outside their 2 year warranty period.
i meant the scratch and dent fridge but I'm with you on your sentiment about writing off companies forever that screw people over.
Here is another thing I have noticed. Every single Samsung phone I have ever purchased, after about a month or so after the warranty is expired the battery expands or partially explodes, making it strange and bulky and of course with very limited battery life. Of course, the replacement of said battery is normally about as expensive as getting a new phone and you can't tell me this is a coincidence since it has happened 3 times. My other phones, including a rather cheap Huawei and a Xiaomi, are fine years after the warranty ran out.
