It was a budget BluRay player when it came out and it’s still a good budget choice today haha. The PS4 and Xbox One would also work. I see a bunch of them used locally for $100-$150 CAD. Gives a bit more modern experience and game library.

I’m going to take this opportunity to share some animated TV show grafitti I found.

I think mechanical failure is different than an electrical failure. Plastic and metal breaking is harder to fix than the electrical for a grill, which shouldn’t be much more than a power cord, a resistor dial, a switch, and a heating element.

It’s pretty complicated for a kettle but it’s great seeing some basic appliances being repaired instead of tossed.
