Repair or Replace?

Reader Contribution by Troy Griepentrog

Nearly every time a major appliance or electrical gadget breaks, I find myself wondering if spending money to replace the item is a better choice than spending money to repair it. In addition to the financial factor, there are several others to consider:

  • How long will the appliance last after it’s repaired?
  • What is the environmental impact of purchasing a replacement?
  • What options exist for recycling the old item?
