Voltage Converters (for all major appliances)? Hello, I just found this exciting Answer community. I have searched for an answer to my above question for days... I am moving to Europe in 3 days. My family need voltage converters, since the outlet plugs needed in Europe are different than those in the US. Basically, I "know" Europe uses the 110/220 V things...however, I want to make sure Germany AND Serbia-Montenegro does, too. Is their a reference for proof, too? I need to make sure I'm 100% right because we need a LOT of them... Thank you!
After 5 years, is it worth it to puchase a service warranty on major appliances? I have had a service warranty policy on my washer, dryer, stove for the past 5 years. While it gets a little more expensive each year to renewal, this is the first time the renewal fee had dramatically doubled as opposed to just a few dollars increase from the previous year (it will cost about $100 to warranty each appliance for one year). Does anyone know if an appliance is worth paying for the warranty after 5 years, or would it make more sense just to go without one and get a new appliance when and if it does break? I appreciate any suggestions.
Does anyone know of a good major appliance repair service in the Austin, Tx area???? I have a dryer, that is fairly new, that I believe has a short in the ground wire. I tried using ABA Appliance Service, and had the WORST experience of my life. I made an appointment over 24 hours prior to the time they were to come to my house. I work 2 jobs, and it's very difficult for me to make arrangements to have someone at my house during the allotted time. Well, after making arrangements, and having my appointment set, all I could do was wait. Well, the evening before the day of my appt, a lady called from ABA and said that b/c there was only one technician in my area, it would be later in the evening that someone could be there. I said that was fine, and actually worked better for me. Well, low and behold, day of my appt, NO ONE showed up, NO CALLS, NOTHING! I highly, highly recommend that no one use ABA Appliance Service if you're looking for GOOD CUSTOMER SERVICE, and someone you can rely on!
In 2004, my dad ordered a major appliance at Sears. It wasnt what he ordered when it came? I went with him during the initial purchase and the slick talking salesman at Sears sold him a stove and told him it would be exactly the same thing but in the color black. Well, dad was a little confused, and I figured I would just let him order whatever he wanted to keep his dignity and he purchased the stove with his Sears card. I was at work when the product arrived and was installed, and was appalled because it was not what he ordered. The salesman sent a black stove, but not what he ordered. Even dad knew it was not what he ordered. I called Sears to tell them and they told me the signatures and the order number were the same. I think the slick salesman was trying to sell something to an old man and got over on him. Dad landed in a nursing home. No one had POA, and no one was sure of where his money went or came. The stove didnt get paid for. Now sears wants someone to pay for it. I paid the money to bury dad. Do I pay for the stove or drop it. Is it my responsiblity?
Is buying an extended warranty on a new major appliance a good deal?

If a major appliance breaks down in a rental (ie dishwasher) who is responsible to replace it? Renter or Owner The dishwasher in my friends rental is slowly breaking down. This dishwasher has been in the house since it was built in the 80s so it's breaking down because of age not because of misuse. She just moved into this place at the beginning of 2008 and she is the first renter this house as seen since the home owners bought a new house and moved out of this one.
