Awww, so cute being sentimental about your appliances. :) I picture them in your garage after seeing their shiny, beautiful replacements come through the door, saying to each other, "What the ????"

It is bittersweet, isn't it? Your new ones are good brands. I hope they will make you just as happy as these have.

Wishing you luck!

And I think your feelings are completely justified! :-)

The "new and shiny" stuff is not always better than "oldies but goodies", LOL.

Please report back about how you like your new appliances.

eleena, after reading these forums for a few months now, I'm afraid what you say about the new stuff may be all to true :( ...I'm thinking if the new stuff lasts half as long as the old stuff did, I'll be happy

We have really old appliances in current home that I kept hoping would die so we could justify buying new. Never happened! Our dishwasher is probably from the 70s and our fridge has to be about 20 years old! They just don't make them like that anymore.
So what did you make for dinner?

That is why I don't replace appliances till they "die", seriously.

I am not sure that the new $9K Sub-Zero will work any longer or any better than the previous $600 "cheapie" (though I am sure it'd look a lot better, LOL).
