I really wish I could buy stuff with the quality of old appliances but the efficiency of new ones. The speed Queen for instance uses tons of water and is apparently pretty harsh on your clothes. My parents have a 50 year old deep freeze that works great, but I plugged in a kill-a-watt and it uses 3x the energy of my newer upright version, meaning the energy savings pay to replace it within a few years.
Pretty close, but my upright one is way more usable space in practice as stuff doesn’t get buried at the bottom.
