From what I've seen, No. The new ones have cheap plastic racks and bins that look like they'll break in the first month, plus they all have computer chips in them now which is another area prone to fail quickly. I hope my 1998 side-by-side model keeps on going.

Those GEs are good. I have quite a few. One of the models I have is the 7-4616. It's a more basic one from the early 90s, but it still has good radio sound quality and dual alarms.
