For me, it'll be computers and electronics. And travel. But I'm also frugal so I like to search for deals.

I am also interested in BIFL electronics like fridges, microwave ovens, washing machines etc, but I realise that I might not find such appliances in the coming future any more.

What about you?

Indeed. I don't want any extras with my appliances; when it comes to fridges, my only wish is to have the freezer at the bottom. I don't want an ice-maker, but I want to fridge to last long.

Unfortunately it seems like refrigerators are the appliance that is just known to die the fastest now. I searched high and low for a good warranty but even the higher end fridges don't get them these days. And the Samsung 10 year warranty is a bandaid for the lawsuits they're facing.

You've clearly done your research cause the first thing to die in a fridge is always the ice maker ๐Ÿ‘

F. I wish I had a simple fridge with the freezer at the bottom, without any extra frills.

Thanks
