That was how we replaced nearly all of our appliances. When they died, we bought new best-we-could-afford Energy Star replacements. Best was determined by two criteria. 1. Must be a name brand I've heard of with a good reputation, and 2. The Energy Usage number on the tag. The exception was our 8 year old refrigerator. Got tired of the ice flap in the door sticking open, so away it went and a much more efficient Energy Star in it's place. This one does not have ice/water in the door, so no flap to stick open.
