Exactly the same situation here. My previous fridge (an "Electra" - sold by electricity boards through their shops) was 27 years old and still functional. The "retro" fridge-freezer it was replaced with (not my choice) lasted three years. You can still get stuff that lasts - but you will pay dearly for it. I had a Miele freezer before, which got sold post-refurb. A Miele fridge-freezer would set me back a minimum of £900 now.
