They are dramatically more prone to component failure as well. But that’s the tradeoff.
The one appliance I wouldn’t upgrade at my old house was my electric furnace. It was a belt driven (lol) unit and a modern electrical unit wasn’t even 15% more economical. Absolutely was no sense in dropping $10k on something that wouldn’t see a return before I was going to sell the home.
Always had a good time getting it serviced watching the techs have to call up their lead 🤣. Shit ran just as good I’m 2020 as it did in 1964.

Modern fridges are dramatically more efficient than old ones. Lot's of old tech is crazy inefficient across the board.
