We've had our free standing oven/cooker for about 10 years now and I was recently thinking about replacing it, as there was a closing down sale with some great bargains.
However I didn't see any that were as nicely made or felt so nice to open and shut the doors, had proper metal knobs instead of those sort of silver spray painted ones - nothing came close, even the really expensive ones.
Then it occurred to me that there was nothign wrong with keeping it for another ten years - cookers are fairly simple perhaps? I remember my grandparents probably had had the same one since they moved into their house, so for forty or fifty years...
Is this something that you could do now? Or has the design changed. the quality perhaps changed so that cookers have a shorter lifespan?
I really don't know but I love my old cooker and hope I can keep it for a long time, or at least replace it with a similar model next time.
So how long has your cooker lasted?
