45 years ago I purchased a Cuisinart DLC 7 Pro food processor. It was quite a splurge and I’m not sure what the occasion was. Maybe celebrating a promotion or a raise. It sounds like a pittance now but I was earning a pretty good income at the time.
Since then I’ve gone through multiple bowls and multiple blades but the machine itself has continued to run faithfully. Not long ago it began to clank when I turned it on and my wife pronounced it dead.
So, I’ve purchased a replacement, the successor model, at roughly the same price in dollars as the old one which tells you how expensive the old one was. I don’t expect it to last as long but then it doesn’t need to, does it? As me auld mither once said a lifetime guarantee doesn’t need to last as long as it used to.
