I live 20 km from North Bay....it is not almost Arctic :-)

I am on a well system also. I have a whole house water filter system installed right after the holding tank. You can buy them for less than $100 and are easy to install. The filter needs to be replaced based on your water usage but are relatively inexpensive. The ones I use remove sediment...

Yup, I am on my 2nd Generac. The first one lasted 9 years....although the engine was fine and it started when the electricity went out, the generator would not generate electricity. I was told repairs could be $2500 or more so I ended up instead buying another Generac as they were offering a...

Thanks for all you have done Robert and good luck in your retirement! I hadn't been on Vacuumland in a couple of days and needless to say when I went to the site today and found the new format, I was flabbergasted. Lots of browsing to do now to figure it all out. Gary

I bought a dozen large eggs today...$3.98 CAD at Independent grocers here in Ontario. Gary

My current car, a '21 Volvo XC60 came with a printed manual. It also has the manual available on the screen and is searchable. I just test drove a '25 Genesis GV70 yesterday and the sales person told me that a hard copy manual does not come with the car. I much prefer a hard copy manual over...

Very heavy! Gary

I purchased the Electrolux top of the line 7637AT washer about 10 months ago. One of the options is 'Pure Rinse' which according to the manual does a better rinse than the option 'Fresh Rinse' on the lower end models. I was using the Towels cycle selection yesterday and it did 4 rinses. I...

Canada stopped using the penny in 2013. When paying for something with cash, the amount is rounded up/down to the nearest $.05. Only when paying by credit or debit card, do you pay the exact amount of the transaction. The $1 paper bill was replaced in 1987 with the 'loonie' coin and the $2...

I have a Kitchen Aid slim OTR microwave. The exhaust fan is 500 cfm and relatively quiet compared to my previous GE microwave. Gary

I don't find the touch pads overly sensitive nor do I have to exert extra pressure... about the same as any others that I have on appliances in my home. Gary

I do. I got mine as well as the dryer (2 models lower however) last Dec. I previously had a Kenmore HE5t washer & dryer for 20 years. I've got no complaints with the washer - cycles are a bit shorter than on the Kenmore. Everything is washed and rinsed well albeit I don't have heavily...

A house my partner and I purchased in 1990 had a WU700 model Maytag. I loved that dishwasher. The reverse loading design was great! It always got everything clean and in a maximum of 90 minutes on the Heavy Duty cycle and 67 minutes on the Short cycle. The regular cycle was 75 minutes. It...

I've used the self clean function on my Kenmore about twice a year (spring and fall) for the past 20 years. Gary
