    LG Washer Cycles

    I have the 3700 model however I don't know either. It does 2 rinses on reg and Heavy duty, and I normally add a 3rd. I've rarely used the other cycles so I'm of no help.

    Toaster Oven recommendations?

    To me a toaster oven is a small thing, about the size of a shoe box at most. Bigger than that it's a counter top oven.

    Toaster Oven recommendations?

    I bought my mother that Panasonic FlashXpress oven probably 15 years ago and she loved it. I have it now and we really like it. There's actually a new version of it out now with a dial instead of buttons.

    Window fans, do you use them in the cooler months?

    Louis; There are these . You'd just need to set the outside part on your deck instead of a window. I can't seem to find them for sale here. If the price was decent I might get one for our upstairs because that portable is very loud. .

    Window fans, do you use them in the cooler months?

    Speaking of fans. I have a portable a/c upstairs for the bedroom and our 2.5 ton minisplit does a great job of keeping the main floor and downstairs area cool (4 level split) . I have tried a box fan in the bedroom hallway, on the floor blowing up to the bedrooms etc but none of that ever...

    Window fans, do you use them in the cooler months?

    Neat story about the found newspaper. We have those tiles in two of our bathrooms though this house was built in 1958. My neighbor had them too and redid her bathroom a few years back. She said she had a helluva time getting them off the wall. LOL.

    I turned on my Furnace

    Last week there were a couple of chilly mornings and the first one I turned on our mini split to heat mode which took care of it in about 15 minutes then off. The next morning I come downstairs and it was very warm.. the other half had turned on the boiler which I hadn't wanted to do before...

    Are modern refrigerators really worth the upgrade?

    I've never had a fridge with an ice maker or water dispenser and don't want one. Simpler the better. My GE stove and LG washer both have wifi capability and I don't use that other than to have tried out the feature it's forgotten now. We have a newer LG bottom freezer fridge, counter depth...

    Electric mowers

    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 ...

    Rear-control induction stoves rise from the dead.

    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...

    IH Visions Induction Compatible Vitro-Ceramic Cookware

    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...

    Best US DW available at the moment

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

    Best US DW available at the moment

    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...

    $500.00 more for 2-minute pizza? I'll wait.

    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.
