Smart fridges are cool, but after a few short years you could be stuck with a big frosty brick in the kitchen

"Consumer grade appliances are trash, with no longevity and (usually) no repair options'

Had no problems replacing seals and brushes on my cheap Beko washing machine over 15 years.

Dishwasher, just needed a pipe removing, clearing out and replacing. 15 minutes

Fridge, needed a new handle and shelf. No problem.

Yes you can't replace refrigeration units, but that's often because of the chemicals in them. But as most tend to last 10+ years it's hardly the end of the world. In fact it's probably harder to get a spare than just replace.
