Out With The Old, In With The New!

This weekend was filled with the excitement of acquiring newer appliances. As a result of some bartering, I own a Samsung refrigerator (yes, the brand known for TV/video now makes white goods). What I like most about the refrigerator is the ice/water dispenser and the extra compartment in the door for storing bottled beverages.

The other appliance is a range by Frigidaire. What I find appealing about the range is the ceramic cooktop with its expandable element and warming zone. I probably won't appreciate these features that much once I have to clean them. I've been told cleaning a smoothtop is more labor extensive than a grated and coiled cooktop. I guess I'll find out soon enough.

You might be asking yourself what has become of my older appliances? Well, they are awaiting the donation truck. I hope they provide years more service to their next owners.
