Aikidomayland cracked the outside edge of the safety tab on the food processor lid about 2 months ago. The entire safety tab has finally fallen off. I can, by virtue of slender sewing tool, bypass the safety catch and use the food processor, but not a good idea to do this.

So, I spent a goodly part of yesterday searching for a supplier of parts. I think the supplier must be in the witness protection program, because it took a lot of time to find and then call said supplier. Only to be given another phone number to call.

Parts have been ordered. This is my boggle. It cost $10 less to get 2 replacement parts (the chopping blade has a crack in the plastic from someone *points above* putting something that should haven't been loaded into the food processor before it had been cut into quarters) than it cost to originally get the entire thing!

Umm, so wouldn't it make more sense to get a new one? Just thinking of the new warrenty and longer life of a new vs used one...

Nope, as the motor and housing are fine. Too many people are of the THROW IT AWAY mentality... just have to go look at landfills to see that.

EDIT: and it's still $10 less than a new one.

Yeah, I think people are going to have to re-examine what household economy means.

No more of this "Have to get a new car, my ashtray is full".

Does remind me of printers. There the printer is cheap because they make the money on the ink.

Is the cost including shipping?

[anysia.livejournal.com]

Yes, it does including shipping costs.

Will it blend?
