Isn't that just selling?
China mastered copying things well. A five pack of replacement knobs that actually match is $34 on Amazon. A crappy homemade knob for a $4000+ range is crazy.
China has also mastered modern slave labor. That someone makes thier own replacement instead of ordering some small uncomplicated part from across the globe isn't crazy, it's self-reliant and smart.
But that's, like, just my opinion man.
And Bosch makes and generally stands by their good products. Yeah they're a company, but they're not the worst!
Also, where did original knob go, I need to know.
So one is creative and solution seeking and now proud about himself and an inspiration to others and the other one -- not, but just a thief.
If the knob on your stove breaks while it's still new enough to be sold on the floor of a Home Depot? Yeah, the theft wasn't by the guy who took the knob.
If the knob of your new-bought stovebreaks to talk to the seller or the manufacturer and request a new knob if it was a manufacturing problem. You don't go around and steal knobs from innocents.
Home Depot is not innocent.
-Anti-union
-Massive donation and lobbying efforts to Republicans and Democrats (but they definitely go harder with Republicans, if you look at the numbers, and they've donated specifically to white supremacist candidates)
-Underpaid employees
-Violated the National Labor Relations Act NLRA
Fuck 'em
Just a thief?? That’s creative, solution seeking, and ecologically conscious problem solving right there
Ecologically conscious would have been getting it from some shop that fixes and recycles appliances.
Those stopped existing when it became cheaper to just throw the whole thing out and buy a new one

Shoplifting is a noble crime.
That's a humongous oven, must be a 10+ person household.
I ended up with 8 hobs, 2 ovens, a grill, and a drawer on mine. It was there when I moved in, and I kept it. Damn thing is built like a tank.
I've never had to use more than 2 of the hobs at once.
I use one of the ovens for storing rarely used pans and things.
That sounds like the 48" Miele. If so, hang on to it. That son of a bitch currently retails for $17,599.
No, that is not a typo.
Not as fancy as that unfortunately.
It's 100cm across and the branding has long since worn away. I think it used to say Panache on it at one point, but I can't find anything about that brand online. Following a trail of spares that look like the stuff on it, it was possibly made by Newhome.
I'd take a picture but I've not cleaned it in ages so it looks like something out of a crack den.
And yet it runs with gas, as if we're still cavemen cooking meat over open fires.
Its the cheapest ¯\_(ツ) _/¯
90cm.
We have one for our 4 adult, 2 kid household. Its amazing how often it's not big enough for all sorts of things.
I think 2 X 60cm ovens make more sense in hindsight and they also dont take as long to heat up
Or its the house people designated as the holiday house, maybe! Only actually used fully a few times a year.
That's my house. We have dual ovens and use them simultaneously several times a year, mostly holidays.
My oven is so old I came across an identical one in an e-waste pile behind a store. I stole the timer knob and mechanism so I don't need to keep using the broken one (manual only) anymore.
You didn't steal it, you 💫recycled💫.
*Reused, which is preferred to recycling even if the materials are 100% recyclable.
That's what I told to the store employee I encountered coming to work via the back door. He wasn't too happy but ultimately let me do it.
YOU WOULDN'T STEAL A BOSCH OVEN KNOB
Now you can
DON'T TELL ME WHAT I WOULDN'T STEAL
