Is repairing an old appliance really a good investment?

When asking "How much is a new one?", you need to consider both the quality of appliance you can afford as a replacement and the option of having your existing appliance properly repaired by a competent professional. Mr. Appliance can diagnose and evaluate your appliance to determine if it's in your best interest to repair or replace it and make a recommendation accordingly. Also, another cost associated with buying a new appliance is the "aggra-dollars." That is, the aggravation and time spent that goes along with shopping for a new appliance—having it delivered, getting it installed, and disposing of your old one. If you've experienced this joy recently, you'll realize that the agra-dollar factor can be a very significant cost.
