I freeze butter, too. I have to so I don't waste any, since I am the only one here who CAN eat it (my roommates are cats LOL!).

You want a distinctive name for your laundromat cafe? A name that, when people see it, they KNOW it's YOUR PLACE and nobody else's? If that's the case? Don't choose to name it "The Wash Tub". It's a wonderful name, don't get me wrong. But it's far from unique: There are numerous "Wash...

"Never been baked in"... ? That actually might be the case. After all, they have not claimed that the oven had never having been used for BROILING stuff, did they? :D What about the whole thing needs a good cleaning? The stove top looks not much better. Never mind the poor thing needs a few...

Let's start with the 'easy' thing first... Did you try to set the temperature control in the refrigerator down and note what happens? (My thought here: The freezer control might only control a baffle that directs cold air into the freezer, a common setup. If the refrigerator's cold control is...

@launderess: Why were the washer and dryer sharing space with the toilet? Possibly that was the only space available for the setup. It's not unheard of for a toilet to be in the laundry; my grandmother's 1973 house had the laundry share space with a half-bath (split level, in the basement)...

I think "works" is really meant to be in the past te In what year, exactly, did this thing last work? LOL! From the looks of it, the rust is what's holding it all together! I would not hold hope for its surviving a water test. How sad. :'(

The kid survived. Reportedly just bruises...and psychiatric Poor Kid! Darn! (I would use a stronger--and much more descriptive word--but it would violate the ToS here to do it.) How stupid can anyone be? I sure hope that both these idiots who call themselves parents end up in a place where...

@unimatic1140: Oh, I see. All there is on this model is the "push to turn on" button! So this Frigidare "electric sink" model has just one cycle and no visible timer? No wonder I couldn't find the controls! I am so used to seeing visible timer setups on dishwashers I assumed that was...

What kind of "an idiot" never tries to use a dishwas Oh, I don't know...maybe someone who can't figure out how to turn it on and don't want to experiment to try to "get" it? I see nothing that is clearly a control knob or control sliders/buttons anywhere. The one thing that looks like it...

Variable water levels in dishwashers? Why not? @washer111 "In the case of dishwashers, manufacturers should come up with a "variable water usage" idea that lets the machine suit the fill level to the wash load and soil, to help reduce time taken. E.g. Light soils need only wash/2x rinse with...

"Rent-Seeking" and/or Guaranteed Business for...Laun Actually, no. These new standards don't promote much of anything except more of the same "it doesn't work" stuff consumers already have to deal with. So what are the real savings to the average household? Are there any within the actual...

" I purchased this unit unrestored for 7k. ... If you think 7k is too high for this unit as is, then you really have no knowledge of this item..." Translation: "I paid too much for this old refrigerator. I am trying to get back every cent I paid for it and nobody can tell me otherwise." 1.)...

Indeed, $7k is way too high a price for it. The old Kelvies are great refrigerators. (I once owned a '60's version of that Food-A-Rama [bought second-hand in the 1980's] and loved it.) But that much for a close to 60-year-old refrigerator that has not been restored from the ground up? Don't...

In one word? UNACCEPTABLE! A comment from a newbie here at AW who just HAD to finally sign up upon seeing this one: That LG TL in that YT video? I don't think that I have ever before seen an actual "unbalanced load" reaction in a TL to match that one. Question: How does LG explain why their...
