We got sold on a Thermidor setup that had the fan behind the stove rather than above, told it would be much quieter.<br /><br />It reverberates loudly through the wall, and worse, it means the stove (ours is gas) is pushed several inches towards the user with no safety zone. I've caught a sweater on fire twice now (yeah, I'm a fast learner like that.) When it's a fluffy angora sweater, that flame just goes FWOOSH right up towards your hair, burning off all the little fluff ends. <br /><br />Fortunately, I still have my own hair. But one of those sweaters looks like a half-shaved poodle.AlisonHhttp://spindyeknit.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-24298803670270884182011-02-01T22:26:00.561-05:002011-02-01T22:26:00.561-05:00Oh girl - sounds like you need another Appliance P...Oh girl - sounds like you need another Appliance Poetry Contest LOLMrs. Ohtobehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11089074143426605410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-34957466124307430502011-02-01T21:33:50.130-05:002011-02-01T21:33:50.130-05:00Do you have a ding and dent place near you?

We have a couple and you can get amazing deals--and you know it will get dinged anyway (plus, sometimes the dings are on the side that slides in and doesn't show).Jenn @ Juggling Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14455967210924573398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-67298374530688742422011-02-01T16:28:38.234-05:002011-02-01T16:28:38.234-05:00Larry's a smart man!

I actually have the extra cash to go out and buy a new stove but from past experience I know that is NOT going to be a fun shopping trip. So instead I cook for eight on my crappy stove and go shopping for shoes instead.Hopelesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00173648751091357447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-56475345194102344212011-02-01T15:02:56.099-05:002011-02-01T15:02:56.099-05:00Appliance shopping.

You need a stove. Buy the one that makes you happy and get home warranty insurance. (Best $600 per year investment ever. Covers all appliances, $60 co-pay for a repairman to show up.)<br />Pity me. We are house shopping on the internet. SuperDad keeps sending me some really fugly choices because the shop! The shop looks so good!

It was brand new but it had a very small dent and was missing the kickplate. Bottom drawer freezer and enough space to chill a cow. 600 bucks. Good luck. Loews has some good deals too. That's where we got our dishwasher.Homemaker Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04184158557108064422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-31623111546564898762011-02-01T12:12:03.869-05:002011-02-01T12:12:03.869-05:00Oh, I love this.

Next time I need to do similar shopping (we've needed a new fridge for ages) I am printing this post and taking it with me, to remind me to laugh at the absurdity of it all. You transformed a little piece of misery for me. Maybe I'll get taken out to dinner afterwards too!And I'll Raise You 5https://www.blogger.com/profile/04807118403081664721noreply@blogger.com
