My refrigerator came with the house when I bought it 20 years ago. No idea how old it is, but not replacing it one moment before I have to! I replaced my stove and now have to wait 1/2 hour for it to preheat. I replaced my wash machine and have not had 1 load since that I didn't have to rewash something or do a second rinse, at twice the time of the old machine. These are all Maytag products too, supposed to be good. Low water/low energy regulations are making all the new products inferior in my opinion.
