You may need to replace things like microwaves on a more accelerated basis.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Microwave<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your microwave should last for at least five years, but inexpensive models may only last one to two years. Signs such as smoke, sparks, burning smells, improperly cooked food, suspicious sounds, and trouble with controls often indicate it\u2019s time for a replacement.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Microwaves can be repaired, but a new microwave is usually a better deal, with prices averaging around $100 or less.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Toasters<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Toasters and toaster ovens can be essential for convenience and easy cooking, particularly for meals that don\u2019t require the time commitment of preheating the oven. However, like microwaves, these items aren\u2019t meant to last longer than around five years, either.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you see sparks or smoke, experience uneven cooking, or smell strong metallic scents, it\u2019s time for kitchen updates and potentially a replacement.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stand mixers<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stand mixers can make baking fast and simple, but they\u2019re a significant investment, and most people are hesitant to make a replacement purchase. Little things, such as worn gears, may require simple part repairs that you can do yourself, but bigger problems, like cracked stands, power issues, or strange odors, usually entail a new unit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before replacing, be sure to check the warranty. Some units may come with long-term protection that allows you to minimize or eliminate the cost of replacement.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Air fryer<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most air fryers last between 3 and 5 years with regular use. If you notice uneven cooking, longer preheat times, a faulty timer, or a burning smell, it may be time for a replacement.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While basic maintenance can extend the lifespan of your air fryer, replacing it ensures you&#8217;re cooking efficiently and safely.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-102053 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/dane-deaner-wkC8EX8y9Mc-unsplash-1.jpg\" alt=\"when to replace appliances\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/dane-deaner-wkC8EX8y9Mc-unsplash-1.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/dane-deaner-wkC8EX8y9Mc-unsplash-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/dane-deaner-wkC8EX8y9Mc-unsplash-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/dane-deaner-wkC8EX8y9Mc-unsplash-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/dane-deaner-wkC8EX8y9Mc-unsplash-1-225x150.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/dane-deaner-wkC8EX8y9Mc-unsplash-1-945x630.jpg 945w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/dane-deaner-wkC8EX8y9Mc-unsplash-1-450x300.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When to throw away non-stick pans<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Replace every 5 years<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pots and pans, particularly non-stick varieties, should be part of your regularly scheduled kitchen updates.
