The War on Appliances

We talked about this with refrigerators.
Are A/C units worse now than they were 50 years ago even though they are much more efficient?
Same for heaters?
Same for refrigerators?Another example is lighting. When LED lights first came out, they were efficient but not very flexible. Look at the variety of LED's now. I have a friend who is involved in aquariums. Big big debate when LED's first came out and there was big backlash against them in the aquarium community. "They will never work! I will never use them!" etc. Now, most of those same people would never go back to regular lighting.
Technology changes, usually (but not always) for the better. Sometimes it needs a push to get there.

Same for refrigerators?Yes, because they're no longer in some households. They're in every household.
