Ain't THAT the truth!
My brother has a refrigerator that originally belonged to my parents, who bought it when they were first married...back in 1947. Works as well today as it ever did, though I imagine it burns electricity like there is no tomorrow. He only uses it during warm months, unplugging it during the colder ones (which in Minnesota is most of them).
I doubt they sold many "extended warrantees" back in 1947.
