Time out from answering questions, to provide some useful information.

Cassie Eberle at Consumer Reports sends along this advice from the February issue on what it's like to be faced with the prospect of repairing an appliance.

This is just a taste of the full report (read it at ConsumerReports.org). You can send your thoughts along to me by e-mail.

First, the magazine says, products aren't breaking faster: Repair rates for most products in its latest survey are similar to results from the 2010 survey. And some products are breaking less often _ for example, laptops had a repair rate of 24 percent in 2013, down from 36 percent in 2010.

Second, warranties don't improve satisfaction. People who had service contracts or extended warranties weren't any happier with their repairs, Consumer Reports says.

Actually, they were more likely to have had repairs done incorrectly the first time around than people without those contracts, and they waited at least two weeks for repairs.

A funny sidelight: In October, a Consumer Reports survey found that most of its readers spend 35 minutes preparing the evening meal but wish it took 27.

My solution: Find a pizzeria or Chinese takeout eight minutes closer.

A bulb just flashed. In 2007, Congress passed the Energy Independence and Security Act, which phases in a ban on lightbulbs that don't meet new energy-efficient standards. Banned already were 100- and 75-watt bulbs, but 60- and 40-watters didn't hit the skids until this month. Stores can continue to sell off their stock, but after that, they're gone.

I am not going to get involved in the debate over what motivated the changes. There is plenty of information about incandescents, CFLs, and LEDs online _ I suggest you check out the arguments and options.

Western Appliance is closing the Santa Cruz store on Soquel Avenue March 17. (Dan Coyro/Sentinel)

SANTA CRUZ -- Western Appliance will close its Santa Cruz store at 902 Soquel Ave. on March 17, a move that coincides with the retirement of manager Dale Burdick, whose father began selling televisions some 60 years ago.

"It's about time for me to hang it up," said Burdick, 65, who stayed home this week to fight the flu. "I hope to enjoy life."

Currently, the store is manned by "five of us," he said.

A graduate of Holy Cross and Oregon State University, he was a teen when he began working for his father and spent his entire career in the appliance business.

His father Hal, a ham operator who served in the Navy, settled in Santa Cruz after the World War II. He worked for Thompson Radio on Soquel Avenue, bought the business in 1947, and renamed it Burdick's. He saw an opportunity with the startup of KSBW-TV.

"We put a TV in the front window," recalled Burdick. "There would be crowds out front, and the only thing on the TV was a test pattern."

His father bought and remodeled 902 Soquel Ave., opening Burdick's Television and Appliance in 1955, then built an 11,000-square-foot store at the same address in 1974, demolishing the old store to provide parking.

Burdick's serviced televisions when they were expensive to buy but that changed when the cost to buy a new model became less than the cost of repair.
