Appliance Heaven

Since I have to leave work early, I'm sneaking in this post now. After work I'll be dropping off all our old North American appliances that we don't want anymore at a second hand shop just south of Vedbæk. There are two big boxes in the back of my car with the following items:
rice cooker
toaster oven
sandwich maker
2 x desk lamps

2 x phones
iron
coffee maker
blender

We actually considered shipping these back to Canada, but we figured it would cost a few hundred dollars at least. That's the same amount of money to replace everything, not even taking into account the fact that everything on the list is used. Really used. I'm going to miss the toaster oven the most!

Another quick note on appliances. Our washer and dryer are very small, maybe 2/3 the size of our machines in Canada. They also take a LOT longer to do the job, about 1.5 hours in each machine. The good part is that they are very efficient. The manual lists the energy needed for every single program. The manual is in Danish of course, and Kendrick and I spent about 20 minutes the first night figuring out how to run just the spin cycle, or centrifuge cycle as they call it here.

At least their logos are logical!

Why bring all these appliances only to get rid of them so soon?
