tell that to my dam, bluddy...toaster which is barely a year old, cost me over £50... and now only works in one slot.....As weird and intuitive as modern appliance controls and programming is(are?), I look forward to them dying after just a couple years!
...that is all, I feel better now.

I wouldn't mind the disposable side of it.. if they cost disposable prices... a 4 slice toaster which for the last year has only been used to toast on one side.. shouldn't be going wrong at a cost of £50...
We felt the same after we bought the new washing machine.As weird and intuitive as modern appliance controls and programming is(are?), I look forward to them dying after just a couple years!

when I was looking for my new toaster online yesterday... I was stunned to see some with Bluetooth capabilities... c'mon.. fgs.. who needs a bluetooth toaster.. just another thing to go wrong, and another higher price to charge for it..
When I purchased my last clothes dryer the sales woman wanted to know what features were important to me. I told her I wanted it to go around and around and get hot. She actually laughed.
Our new washing machine is the appliance that inspired this thread. To be fair, it is miles better than it's predecessor that abruptly kicked-the-bucket this past May. I cheered when it croaked, hated it from the day we bought it. Lasted 2 years, I forget what brand it was, we bought it used from my wife's daughter, who had it a couple years but bought my daughters washing machine when she sold off /gave away everything before she moved to St. Thomas, VI.

No matter what you tried to do with the settings, there would only be about 1/4 tub full of water.
I wish we had kept the previous machine, a 20 year old Whirlpool washer, it still worked but it didn't make sense to keep it and the newer machine we bought from my step-daughter.
My main gripe with the newer machines is they make a big deal out of water conservation...I want our clothes to be clean. The conservation thing is a BS selling point, one of the biggest wastes of water in this state is people pumping thousands of gallons of water a month on grass lawns. Grass, a non-native vegetation for the semi arid Southern California region.
He's another stupid feature of the washer's programming: if you want to modify your wash, the only alternative to push "cancel", which immediately starts the pump and drains the tub, wasting that tub-full of water and detergent. Puleeze, just shoot me!
I'll trade you ~ washers. Arrrgghhhhhh....
Unplug it, turn it over then open it up. Gently wiggle any wires near the bad side.tell that to my dam, bluddy...toaster which is barely a year old, cost me over £50... and now only works in one slot.....
That's for me too. Just one setting; "Dry". Just one speed; "On". I just bought a new washer from Lowes. There were 50 washers on the floor, and I just ran through them looking a price tags, as a way to find the simplest in the lot. You know... the one that only has one thing to break down. You put the clothes in and hit the on button, and the clothes get clean.
Maybe they think we want to play those, "match the picture" games we had in first grade or a little bit of "Where's Waldo?" Things burn on my stove while I look for the "off" button, forgetting nightly that it's called "cancel," now. That's okay because it's all burning now anyway. The burners on my glass top stove, six if you count the small and large options, all have 7 or 8 notches of varying degrees of heat, one is called "melt," but it doesn't matter which one I choose or how they name it they all should be called, "high rolling boil."
that wouldn't work because the switches for the slots on the left which weren't working just wouldn't stay down... anyway it's immaterial..I binned it... and my new one arrived a couple of hours ago...let's see how long this one lasts..Unplug it, turn it over then open it up. Gently wiggle any wires near the bad side.
This works for me when mine stops working.
