Sure, they're not throwing them away. They sell their appliances to buy new models, but new appliances obviously take resources and energy to build and transport. Same for cars, TVs, gadgets, etc.

There is of course the factor that through this people can afford appliances that otherwise wouldn't have them, but that at least has a clear benefit for them.
