Not buying it although I'd love to but we're trying to downsize on all the stuff.

Saw this beautiful GE at our restore today. Hardly a mark on it clean as a whistle. there was no filter pan or mini basket.

When we had our Ram 1500 I was surprised that it didn't have any lights telling you when the cylinders deactivated. I would have thought that to be a somewhat necessary feature. In the years we owned it I never actually new if it ever worked or not because of having no lights.

I still have the Radarange down in the basement and it used to sit on the kitchen counter. Our kitchen cabinets have a microwave shelf but it only fits a compact oven. So when I brought in the little compact RCA I put it on the mw shelf and moved the RR downstairs. If'n I had room it would be...

Kenmore was never a manufacturer of appliances, it is a store brand name only. Most of their large appliance history is tied to them having being built by Whirpool, but that was not always the case. D&M built many of their dishwashers, as did Bosch later on . Stoves where built by Whirlpool...

We got about 15 years out of our Samsung flat screen and bought a new 55" one about 2 years ago, so far so good. My friend who had that same old set is still working fine. Can't attest to their white goods but have been happy with our LG fridge and washer. Won't buy any Whirlpool products after...

Dave. I wouldn't try opening the sunroof in this weather, might damage the rubber gasket. I rarely open mine and would have preferred if it could have been deleted. Though we've never had problems with them in the Foresters our next door neighbors older Santa Fe sunroof was leaking last...

Really nice interior, sort of like my subie. I'm partial to white cars because they always look pretty clean and don't need washing as much. Got a dark gray one now and it looks dreadful these past few days with all the salt and road schmutz covering it,, never had that with the previous white...

My issue with them is they aren't very good exhaust fans . I spent extra on getting a powerful hood fan with 600 fpm which handles any smoke or unpleasant smells, so long as I can remind the other half to turn it on . LOL.

I'll stick to Consumer Reports advice rather than unknowns and continue washing my clothes in coldish to warm water. quote " When It Comes to Water, Keep Cool Some people don’t believe cold water can clean well, but at CR, we’ve found it gets clothes just as clean and can preserve items longer...

Anyone here with experience using one of these battery packs for powering their furnace/boiler during a power outage? I happened to run across this Youtube tonight and it looks like a relatively inexpensive method to at least keep the house somewhat warm (not cozy warm) and avoid pipe freezes...

Power windows and a/c were the two prerequisites to any car I've bought over the years, used or new. since the mid 70s. I don't like crank windows . The other stuff like power seats etc not a deal breaker. Now they're all pretty much standard. Our 013 Wrangler , the partners summer toy...

They don't need all that water.. Most cycles I can barely see any if any at all on my LG. It washes beautifully. Besides adding more water is just going to dilute the detergent.. Use a quality detergent, not those crappy no name or cheap detergents, or strips etc and all's good.

Our street and neighborhood I would say 60 to 70% of houses have some Xmas lights out. I tend to agree about the all white lights. The 3rd 4th and 5th houses in a row next to ours all have white lights and to be honest a vintage AOK used car parking lot looks about the same. Don't hate me...

I'm keen on the implementation but do have reservations on the legal liabilities if and when something goes wrong which I've read has happened where people have been hurt. I think, don't quote me, that in California the companies operating these vehicles are not responsible? How are the...
