When your stuff breaks, do you typically try to fix it or do you just get rid of it?

Some examples of stuff that could break: toaster, kettle, clothes iron, vacuum cleaner, and hair dryer

I typically try to fix it or get it fixed.

I typically throw it out.

It's in my blood, if something breaks I have to try and repair whatever it is.

Unfortunately the things you have mentioned unless it's a fuse, it will probably be cheaper to throw them away, and buy new ones, but I do try to recycle the parts.

I usually find the fault lies with the printed circuit boards, or cheap switches on cheap products.

It's mainly mechanical parts to electrical items I repair, though I used to replace the alternator with a renovated one on my cars. It's not worth replacing the electrical brushes myself.

Shit gotta go. It has besides vehicles been way cheaper to replace instead of fixing over the past 25 years. Some things can be repaired though.

Depends on what kind of breaking it is. I’m not about to change out the parts on my toaster if a new one is the same price as the replacement part. Now, if we’re talking something more essential (and expensive) like a car or a bed, I’d try to fix that first

Throw it like everyone else does since 2010s - nowadays everything is dirty cheap at your local JC Penney or Macy's 😐😅🅿️

If it's not cheap, cheerful and proudly made in china, what good is any replaceable item nowadays. 🤭❤️🤭
