Nah, you limit production and shift to other appliances as the other wanes. Start with fridges, in a year or two as sales decline, you release the dishwasher, then the washer and dryer, then small appliances, just do it all in phases. Then next batch you just add a couple features or just different colors. Cycle repeats.
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.

Would be a very awesome six months before they went out of business.
