My next door neighbors are on their 3rd summer with their Ryobi self propelled mower and are very happy with it. I tried it out and liked it as well. They got the snowblower as well but its a bit wimpy and only good for medium snowfalls of light stuff, luckily we've had not big snow falls ...

I bake a lot of bread and rolls at one time , no so much cookies/sweets anymore, and use the convection feature with two or 3 racks being used, more than I don't. Couldn't do it without. It does require in some instances that pans are placed correctly and sometimes you have to move a couple...

Nice condition on those fold down burners...

Interesting but not something I would buy having owned a Visions set back in the the 70s or 80s whenever it was it first came out. It's heavy and ungainly empty , let alone when it's got food in it, for stove top use.. just my opinion LOL. I see lots of Visions cookware at thrift stores so I...

I thought all the 500 series up had a salt dispenser? My neighbors does, it's about 5 yrs old now

I'd just get another 100 (ascenta) and call it a day.. Ours is 6 or so years old now but I did have that pinhole leak in the sump hose whenever it drained. I bought the part and fixed it myself. That was a bit disappointing to have happen. No one else I know with a Bosch has had it happen. my...

Yes; Being as they already have a self clean cycle I'm guessing , then it's not really an over reach in costs to program a 700 deg cycle in where the door stays unlocked. Not something I'd want to use in the summer for sure.

There are also a number of "portable" mini splits available over in Europe but only one here called Forestair. They were sold at Costco or direct from the company here in Canada but the reviews aren't all that great. https://forestair.ca/en/serie-mini-anglais

Mine is a Danby two hose unit. Gosh it must be near 15 years old now. I bought it to cool the bedroom upstairs since we can't have central air and have a mini split for the main floor. Much less expensive than having another minisplit or two installed up there. It works well enough and I...

Seems they stopped selling Smart cars here back in 2019 which I didn't know No wonder I rarely see one these days.

Congrats on your new car Louis... musta missed this thread. weird how it does seem like it was only recently you bought that Smart car,,, didn't you have VW before it iirc.

That bronze is beautiful. We're subie people here. I test drove a WRX stick on Thursday when I had my Forester in for service. maybe next year or two lol

I just received an exhaust hose insulation "blanket" off Amazon to fit onto my ancient portable a/c and it sure made a difference in how well it cools the room. I've always known about this inherent problem with these things but never bothered because it doesn't get used all that often...

Appears to be a Modern Maid clone...

Never knew these existed from the 80s era...
