Yet another example of the wonders of the free market
I went online to see if I could get a bowl replacement for our EuroPro blender. Nope. All I found were sites selling the blender new. There was a product comment on one site, that the person found it cheaper to buy a new blender than find a replacement bowl.
What to do now? I searched for replacement bowls for other models of blenders and matched replacement parts for a Cuisinart blender/mini processor, which I was able to get at good savings at Costco.
Clearly, my behavior is part of the problem. I could have opted for a classic Oster (at twice the price.)
But what about the perfectly good EuroPro motor housing? Well, my hubby found an old oster bowl and found that it fit the EuroPro base, so now we have two bleners.
As bad as I am, it doesn't really change the issue. The operating practices of businesses and retail establishments are creating a situation which, instead of increasing the availability of choice in the purchase of products, will reduce the amount of choice.
