My freezer was once again starting to melt. The same thing that happened last summer. This time it lasted less than a year and I don't know how long it would last if I'd still have given it another try as it might have still worked for a while. So I decided to order new one.
Those things aren't cheap. Especially if you want to invest a bit in quality. In the end I chose a brand well known for their high quality and longevity, but which was still on the reasonable price range.
Incidentally I happened to notice I have been a loyal subscriber for Netflix for ten years (no sign of gratitude from their side for such loyalty 😒). Anyway, I calculated that I have paid them around the same amount of money over these ten years as I paid for my new freezer!
As such home appliances are something I would expect to last at least then years then in comparison the freezer really wasn't that expensive, or the streaming service is. After all a freezer is probably more essential in today's homes than a service that allows you to "waste" your time.
