It just shut off in the middle of making french fries to go with BLT's. After some research it seemed it may just be dead or not worth fixing. It was at least 10 years old and starting to have a few problems.
So my wife and I set off to buy a new one. We started at Sears, we were clearly kicking the tires on the stoves and in 10 to 15 min of doing so no one came to ask if they could help. Not even a greeting of any sort. So we left...
We went across the street to Lowes, walk to the appliance section and start kicking the tires on all the ones we liked. We get a greeting of hello and then the guy disappears and after another 5 min or so we finally give up.
We ended up going to HHGreg (which is where I like anyway). They greet us at the door and proceed to tell us all about the different features available in our price point.
Sears had the lowest price on the stove we wanted to buy so we would have bought from them. I guess this is part of the reason these big box stores are struggling? There couldn't have been more 10 people in Sears.
Oh and HHGreg matched the Sears price so it all worked out.
