Interesting. And scary.

I received a check/cheque yesterday from Whirlpool - a pro-rated refund
for a dryer, recalled due to fire hazard.
Needless to say, I replaced it with different brand (Candy).

Currently, I have two cookers/stoves sitting in my kitchen - one waiting
to be connected, the other waiting to be disposed of. The one I'm
getting rid of was sold by Whirlpool, and is the _third_ in a series of
defective cookers - the first arrived with internal damage, was
returned, and replaced by a unit which failed rather spectacularly. It
took three visits by different repairmen, before I could persuade the
company to replace it under warranty. It blew at least 5 circuit boards
and a fan - the last time (the repair guy was still here) it looked like
fireworks had been set off in my kitchen, and I had to open all the
windows to get the stench out. Its replacement has now failed. It is out
of warranty, and I am out of patience.

The new cooker is a Smeg.
