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...

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

I missed dishwasher day but here's mine...a Miele. I've had it for 10 years without any issues. Gary

I lived with my uncle & aunt in Toronto for a couple of weeks when I first moved there in 1981. My uncle had a Lada. It was a very basic car as my uncle was very cheap when it came to spending money on anything. I remember him telling me that the Lada came with its own tool set as well as a...

Just came across this range on Facebook. I didn't know Speed Queen made ranges. Gary https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1523108318485833/?ref=browse_tab&referral_code=marketplace_top_picks&referral_story_type=top_picks
