    Are modern refrigerators really worth the upgrade?

    Rykon no 2 grease and Turbine Oil?

    Zoom Spout oilers come with different oils. I use the ones that actually say "turbine oil" on the bottle. https://www.amazon.com/SUPCO-GIDDS-461354-Zoom-Spout-Turbine/dp/B008MG3T1Q

    When did Maytag start to go bad?

    A Maytag with a pitman transmission and a PowerFin agitator washes well, rinses well, and extracts well. At the same time, it's the most durable washing automatic washing machine ever made. What's not to like?

    Could I live without my Stand-Up Mixer?
