Good, that keeps the prices down for those that appreciate a quality
appliance. Compare that old stuff to the mass market crap today and
you may be surprised. Yes, the convection ovens today are better, but
those old burners could put out lots of heat and had a rugged design
for the grates on top. Metal was thicker, coatings were thicker and
better.

Until you actually look at one and use one, you are just talking out
your uneducated ass.


I've found that EnergyStar rated appliances save money in the long run.

For example, my EnergyStar washer uses 1/3 the water that the old
machine consumed.
This translates into lower energy bills to heat the water, less salt for
the water softener and finally a lower municipal water bill.
It's a big win-win-win!

The EnergyStar ranges return similar results. Convection ovens bake
faster so they are not on as long. They are also insulated better so
they don't heat up your house as much with the added bonus of lower air
conditioning bills.

EnergyStar refrigerators are a no-brainer money saver as well.

But the bottom line is that at the end of the month, my uneducated ass
has extra money to spend.

Yah, the old luddites around here are still using incandescent light
bulbs too. ROFLMAO!
