If they couldn't guarantee anything after they fixed the old one, better to upgrade and then be under a warranty for a bit, etc. Hard to believe fresh asparagus season is over for the year!<br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-39607890928583613892017-07-10T23:07:59.545-04:002017-07-10T23:07:59.545-04:00Sure was going to cost plenty and then the compres...Sure was going to cost plenty and then the compressor could go Helen.<br /><br />As you say, inconvenient, but they replace it easily.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14087140585742801854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-21897488278325267662017-07-10T23:06:45.374-04:002017-07-10T23:06:45.374-04:00Isn't it Susan.

I've had the same one for twelve years now and I keep wondering when it will die.
