I'd just build my own, like I did for my water purifier. It ain't that hard.
I have never seen someone build their own washing machine or refrigerator. It's intriguing. A whole new level of diy
Does the Red Green Show count?
If women don't find you handsome, at least they'll find you handy.
Sounds like something Tim Allen would do. It’d have a big block V8 for more power, ahh, ahhh ahhh ha ha ha! Sprays water all over the kitchen and fills the house with smoke!
So, right now you have like a modern Samsung fridge with a screen and app, or something, but if a company produced a nicer simple one, then you'd finally decide to build your own?
Right now I have a dumb fridge from the 2000s that works just fine, thank you very much. A company could produce a nicer, simpler one, but given the state of similar products and their adoption (fairphone, pinephone, framework, ecogeek), they'll never reach a market share and price point that makes them competitive as compared to me putting together an insulated box, some copper coils, and a compressor. I already made a fridge as a college project, after all. Which is exactly what I plan to do once my current fridge croaks.
