Life Span of a Toaster Oven?

[koxka]

Uh...my microwave oven is leaking! I have tried the cell phone method.

A new microwave oven is now on my wishlist to the Magic Kings!

Thanks for the link.

As the old saying goes; "if it ain't broke - don't fix it".

Don't have a toaster oven, but the microwave is over 17 years old, and until it dies, we'll continue using it. We just got a new range, even tho the old one was 20 and still working fine. - just wanted a ceramic top which the other didn't have.

I got rid of my toaster and have a toaster oven, which I LOVE! I tend to use appliances until they break. I do need a new coffee pot. The arm doesn't stay closed, and the coffee overflows, grounds everywhere. Ugh.

I use things until they don't do what they're meant to anymore, or unless I just really want something newer and/or different. As for those things burning your house down, haha, just tell your mom you'll keep your fire extinguisher handy when you use them, and unplug them when you aren't (which is a good idea, regardless, I unplug pretty much everything when I'm not using it).
