Less energy efficient
Worse airflow, Uneven cooling -> food spoils quicker
May contain CFC's
Fuck old fridges
The worse energy efficiency is annoying, but the added cost of electricity is absolutely nothing compared to the cost of buying a new fridge every 5 years.
The uneven airflow/cooling is manageable, since it's usually fairly minor.
As for the CFCs, that only matters if it leaks, and the fridge wouldn't have lasted 50 years if it leaked.
If the 20x is correct, you may be talking about the difference between $50/year and $1,000/year to operate it, so after five years you could buy quite a nice new fridge with the savings.
I mean yeah if money is literally the only factor. Some people worry what would happen if every household chucks a fucking fridge in the landfill every 5 years.
And then there's LG which is very concerned about people not throwing an entire fridge into the landfill in as short a time frame as possible
