Blender Bender
I’ve written about the ability to locate replacement parts on the Internet before, but I thought this was a good addition.
The blender broke the other morning when my wife was trying to make her morning smoothie. Its a Viking Blender that’s a little over two years old (I think). The plastic casing on the bade housing shattered (which from what I have read is not so uncommon a happening).
Anyway, I googled the model number and found one site that offered parts. They’re on order and should be here this week.
I think its just amazing that you can take something like a broken blender, google the model# and find replacement parts. I wonder how many people even think about this? And by not thinking of it, how many blenders (and other similar items) end up in the land field?
