Appliances
Maybe it's just a trick of memory but it seems appliances used to be, well, bigger and more solid. These days, they seem just about as flimsy and finicky as everything else. Whether to fix or replace a balky appliance is always a tough question, one examined by Stephanie Moore in her appliance primer, They Sure Don't Make Things Like They Used To. On the other hand, the feds are launching a rebate program that may make it worthwhile to jettison some of your older appliances.

Warning! Your stove can be a lethal weapon if it is not properly secured to the floor or wall. Hundreds of children are injured every year when they open the oven door and use it as a step, causing the stove to flip over on them. More... It's also important to be very careful with kitchen chemicals like Easy-Off Oven Cleaner. You should always wear gloves and goggles when using spray cleaners.
