7 Years, 3 months.... and no more!

In the last 2 weeks, three of the appliances that we received as wedding presents, as if in collusion, suddenly just stopped working. The vacuum, the microwave, and the waffle iron. Unfortunately, we use these three appliances more then any other we own! Which probably explains why they are broken and not the others. It's odd though, that they should all three break down so suddenly and one right after another. A sign, perchance? Luckily, the vacuum was a quick fix and is back in commission. The microwave has been useless and taking up much needed counter space since I haven't yet gotten around to seeing if the local repair shop can take care of the problem. And, sadly, I think the waffle iron will just have to be replaced. Maybe now we can get a bigger one with all the bells and whistles. Really! There's a waffle iron with a whistle! Though we probably wont be shelling out 200 clams for this bad boy.

At least your vacuum made it 7 years. Ours died after 1 1/2. And that waffle iron you posted a link to looks amazing. Only if we had an endless amount of money. I would be one happy girl with a lot of really nice junk.

We have gone through two mirowave in the last year! I just don't know why they don't make things like they did in the olden days My grandmother has had the same one for forever!
I think I'll just have to stick to pancakes, I won't have to buy anything extra that way.
It does look super nice though.

I've heard of the seven year itch...but who knew it was meant for appliances??
Need a microwave??? We have an extra one in the garage! Come get it. As for the waffle iron and vacuum...our vacuum died in our seventh year of marriage too. Was yours a hoover by any chance?
