Know when to Repair and when to Repurchase

About Me

I love to cook, and I have a kitchen full of cooking appliances that help me prepare meals for my family and friends. Whenever I have had problems with any of my cooking appliances, I have always just thrown them out and purchased new ones. I recently had a friend over for a meal when my convection oven stopped working properly, and he gave me the number of a good appliance repair technician. I called for a quote, although I was already thinking about just replacing the oven, and I was amazed when he told me that the problem I was having sounded like a "quick fix" that would only take him about five minutes to complete! I created this blog to remind people to look into repairing appliances before they replace them. You may just have just a small problem and a lot of life left in your appliance.
