Slightly vintage air conditioners, that hot point was built in Louisville Kentucky in 1982, and the air temp is really just a re-badged Federer’s air conditioner. Neither one is very efficient drawing around 800 W for under 6000 BTUs today it’s common place for even the cheapest 6000 BTU air...

Reply number 26. Hi Robert that’s pretty impressive. How much suds and therefore probably detergent is still left in the washing after the run in the LG front load washer, not very impressive for LG‘s rinsing ability that’s for sure. I may have to do some testing myself with my modern front...

Hey guys, this is ridiculous. We don’t need to be talking about the ozone layer when we’re talking about dishwasher performance. Back to the topic people most certainly did rinse their dishes with power, clean dishwashers, the Reality is any good dishwasher. You do not have to pre-rinse but...

Hi Keith, very good point about the single hose units because you’re always drawing air into the area. You’re trying to cool you can never get the humidity down. If you’re in a very humid area like we are here in the east I’ve noticed that people that try to cool their little apartment or...

50th anniversary in sinker 77 disposer I remember this model it’s probably about 30 years old now, it was a commemorative model that was just sold for a while commemorating ISE building disposal for household use for 50 years. It was the same as their regular 77. It’s a good disposal, however...

Building new washers and dryers today in the USA Good morning Patrick, I recommend googling as I did whirlpool Clyde, Ohio factory and watching some of the many videos that are online of the how the factory is running today. The biggest difference is it takes a 10th as many people to build a...

Yes, thank you again Cory I forgot to add thanks this was a really cool video. It’s easy to see why there were so many warranty problems back in that time. When you see the haphazard way things were assembled completely different than today. After I watched this, I went online and I watched a...

Clever idea, I imagine this would help, I’ve never been interested in using a portable air conditioner because they’re inherently much less efficient than one that’s installed in an opening in the wall or in the window itself, but they certainly do Phil void where you’re not allowed to have a...

GE Porta, cool window, air conditioners These were a very clever product and it allowed GE to compete in a market that was becoming dominated by other companies. GE could not compete with whirlpool and a few other companies that were making more conventional small window air conditioners...

Frigidaire radiant tube or mono tube surface elements Frigidaire use this type of element from the early 50s to the end of their making electric ranges about 1980, they were always wired in directly. There is no receptacle to worry about. The element pivots up and you remove the trim ring...

The KitchenAid KD 19 series dishwashers work just fine, and the drying was certainly adequate for most people however, working for KitchenAid at the time we had a horrible amount of complaints and that’s why they quickly went back to a dry heater. For many users, the dishwasher is really just a...

Whirlpool has been cutting corner since 1926, every American manufacturer that survive learned how to reduce cost and improve quality they wouldn’t survive if they didn’t. I can make a good argument today that whirlpool is making better appliances than they ever made certainly they’re more...

KDC 19 KitchenAid dishwasher cycle operation This dishwasher preheat the initial fill to about 140° in the sump not with the pump running it uses a 1400 W heating element to do this. All KD 19 machines also preheat the final rinse to 150° except for the S model that would preheat the water to...

People are not pre-rinsing now versus what they did in the past, current dishwasher’s work better overall than dishwashers ever worked the combination of better detergent better cycle programming longer cycles has made for superior dishwashers worldwide. Plus, the idea has been hammered in that...
