"It's Hard To Not Personify An Appliance."

 

Our 32 year old Amana

Our icy pal is slowly giving up giving us the cold shoulder after thirty-two years of service. It's hard to not personify an appliance. But giving the really sad options offered to replace it, including a repair contract paid for by the consumer before you take delivery, is criminal.

I'm really sad to let her go especially since she is still working, but struggling to do so!

You know I've mentioned our toaster, that was given to us, forty-nine years ago, as a wedding present. It still works!

No repair contracts or upgrades needed!

Also, another still working wedding present is our "Ostarizer" Blender. The black base/gasket that attaches the glass container to the machine cracked about two years ago, but still worked.

No repair contracts or upgrades needed!

Last week, we decided to replace this gem with a new Osta blender... It sucks!

But, I decided to see if that base/gasket would fit the original glass container. I mean, why not? Tee thought it was worth a try and "Lordy, lordy"... it fits.

So, for thirty bucks we found a replacement part that we couldn't find online. Sweet!

Now, we have to decide what to do with the cheapo/sucko blender that has been replaced by the new old replacement...
