geez shaggs, it takes more than that for me to be offended
I traveled around Oz for years and the laundromats used to cost me an average of $10/week. I figured that if i bought a cheap washer and it lasted me a year, then i would be ahead. It lasted 5 years. Chucked it and got a new one.
Same as the dishwasher. years old and it just shat itself.
It will cost more to fix it than chuck it and get a new one.

Shame really.

[quote="shaggs"]The missus just picked our microwave up from being repaired and got it home
Unloading it from the car I could see through the vents that it looked quiet dusty so I removed the cover
Well it looked like a bl..dy mine site in there and I couldn't help but feel like I have been done
$530 dollars for the repairs that was after a first quote of $358 then they said they found something else wrong,Seems strange for two major componets to sh@t themself at once but I could live with that
What I can't live with is the lack of service in cleaning it out which would have led to it's breakdown in the first place in my opinion
We try to live without the aircon and it does get dusty here with the place open an gravel road
Darwin business wonders why we shop else where with service like this
Here are some pics,what would you think
