As everyone knows, from long experience with their lousy customer service, I am not a Sony fan. Their reader is very pretty, but still NOT a Sony fan.
Also NOT a fan of KitchenAid. Really, just not. And for exactly the same reasons. Most of their products seem to break down early on, and the customer service is crap.
So, when this KitchenAid dishwasher (that came with the house ... I would never in a million years have knowingly picked that brand) died after four years of use, I wanted to pick something (anything) that was not KitchenAid.
Went to the store, saw a Maytag dishwasher that looked really good. It was supposed to arrive tomorrow. I got a call about an hour ago from KitchenAid (WTF??) telling me my order would be delayed two days.
Right ... turns out Whirlpool, Maytag and KitchenAid are all the same company. It's like really hating Sony customer service, purchasing a Kindle, and the first time you call customer service for Amazon, you hear the operator answer "Sony Customer Service, may I help you?"
I really need a new dishwasher. Now I have to decide if I should cancel this order, and try to find someone online (where, sadly, I won't be able to get a good look inside the thing, which really matters when you are mostly washing a bazillion small cat food bowls every day and the worst thing that can happen is that they slip through the grid and down into the mechanism).
Erk. What to do, what to do?? Perhaps the resident religious academic will have some sage thoughts to get me through this. Other than calling me a "pig" I mean.
