so far mine that I got from sears about 12 years ago is still going. It wasn't top of the line after remodeling my kitchen I couldn't afford that. That being said my old fridge (20yrs old) is in the sunroom as a backup. She's getting more tempermental now; she needs to be defrosted or she'll start shutting down. She is a frost free but with her age also came some frost but she still works. Keep up the maintenance and you'd be surprised how long she'll last
