Appliance Sales questions, answered by experts

If you can’t get your microwave to stop tripping the breaker, hire a local appliance repair professional. They have the skills to quickly identify the problem and fix it. These professionals also have the knowledge and experience of working with appliances, so they know how to take the proper precautions to minimize the risk of electrical shock and fires.

Appliances that are smudge-proof stainless steel have a protective clear coating that makes them smudge-proof. Unfortunately, you can’t truly remove a scratch on this surface without also removing that special coating. Your best bet is to let the scratch be or protect it with a small dab of clear nail polish.

You can risk the option of buffing out the scratches, and be very diligent in coating the area you buffed with oil to reduce the dullness. Just know that if you choose to buff it out, there’s a possibility that the spot won’t look the same as the rest of the appliance.

Most microwaves last for around eight years; lower-end units may last as few as five, while higher-end microwaves could continue to work for ten or more years. A few factors will affect the lifespan of your small appliance:

How many people in your home use the appliance
How often you use the microwave
Brand and quality
Whether or not you maintain it properly
Style of microwave
Professional or DIY installation

A dishwasher with a 52 dBA or under is considered quiet or very quiet, similar to a soft conversation or a whisper. Remember that the design of your kitchen and your home layout will greatly affect how far the sound carries.

You’ll need to unhook your old appliance but once you do, you can recycle it, donate it, sell it, reuse it, trade it in, or give it as a gift (provided it still works or is easy to fix). Most of the time when people are switching their appliances it’s either because the old one broke or they are upgrading. If the item is broken, the best option is to recycle it. This may carry a cost based on the appliance or its weight. If the appliance still works, you may choose to sell it or gift it. What you do with your old appliance ultimately comes to whether it’s still functioning.
