Anecdotal evidence only but I know people who have bought newer appliances and stuff has failed within a few years. Our stuff is still going after 30 years and I remember one repair on the fridge 20 years ago but other than that both are still going strong. I'm pretty sure the new stuff won't do that. As I said, anecdotal only; I've not checked data on this.
One of our best friends recently outfitted a new house a couple of years ago and they've already had a repair guy in for the fridge. I know that can happen to any appliance but it's not the only failure I've heard about. There repair wasn't major but it does cause me to consider the extended warranty.
By the way, they're Samsungs, good stuff. I've checked them out in the consumer mags and they rate very high.
