The worse energy efficiency is annoying, but the added cost of electricity is absolutely nothing compared to the cost of buying a new fridge every 5 years.
The uneven airflow/cooling is manageable, since it’s usually fairly minor.
As for the CFCs, that only matters if it leaks, and the fridge wouldn’t have lasted 50 years if it leaked.
If the 20x is correct, you may be talking about the difference between $50/year and $1,000/year to operate it, so after five years you could buy quite a nice new fridge with the savings.
I live in a really cold climate with electric baseboard heating (it’s dumb. I didn’t build the place I rent) so an inefficient fridge or freezer just takes money out of my heating bill and puts it into my keep-food-from-rotting bill
Less energy efficient
Worse airflow, Uneven cooling -> food spoils quicker
May contain CFC’s
Fuck old fridges
unzips
what?
Wrong room, Mr Vance

“It hasn’t leaked yet so it won’t leak” is a hell of a take.
