    Pot Filler Faucets - What Am I Missing?

    My mom loves watching those house shows, and she’s noticed the same thing about those pot fillers. I told her it would make sense to have it be a hot and cold faucet with that long articulated arm and a sink right next to the stove. She agreed that made sense, as one could ‘park’ the faucet over...

    Whirlpool garbage disposal!

    Well powder my pants! The plain YouTube URL link caused it to embed! Not even going to pretend to understand any of this...

    Whirlpool garbage disposal!

    Well here’s another one! Not the biggest fan of this mounting bracket, but I absolutely love this disposal, it’s such a weird vintage one! It runs quietly and disposes well! Since YouTube videos still won’t embed...

    Amana Radarange

    Cory... I'm in absolute lust with that Raytheon Mark V!! What a machine! It sure is a shame one can't buy anything like that these days. What made me fall in love was this part of the description: "...the design and assembly is on par with military electronics gear of the era (with a price to...

    Vintage metal cabinets and appliances from 1955 $1500 (Torrington, CT)

    Hans, I just about had an aneurysm trying to answer that... What I usually would imagine while house hunting: Walk in and be informed (in a manner that is expected to impress) "And the kitchen and bathrooms were just updated last year..." *Wakes from a dead sleep in a cold sweat screaming...

    Opinions wanted....

    Sometimes the features on newer appliances can be nice, but my hangup is I just don't care for how they look as compared to the vintage ones, Not sure this offers any real help here...

    Milk it does a body good

    While milk may do the body good, my digestive tract appreciates my limited intake of dairy... I don’t know that I’ve seen Hood brand milk before.

    Thermadorian vibrations...

    Currently my 'disposal collection' consists of this Thermador, and a series wound GE, the cheap 1/3HP model. I found the GE to be lots of fun, my only complaints, I wish the grind chamber was bigger, and that it wasn't so splashy without the splash guard, as I like using these things without the...

    Thermadorian vibrations...

    I did discover a small bit of damage to the disposal! The little baffle on the dishwasher inlet busted off! I don't foresee this being an issue, BUT it made me feel bad, naturally... I don't expect I'd ever put anything down this disposal that would break it, much like the Maytags, they're just...

    What do you use your Blender for ?

    I've got Grandma's avocado and chrome Osterizer, the Oster mixer, blender food processor thing, and a Nutone food center that I don't have installed. Generally I just use Grandma's, usually just for making tasty things to drink. If I ever get into the habit of cooking more, I'm certain I'll find...

    Thermadorian vibrations...

    I agree on the mixture of food waste, some things to dispose of better when not alone. Things like chicken bones also like to go faster if in multiples. y favorite thing to do is just let all the scraps collect in the sink, all the peelings and trimmings and so on. Usually this only happens on...

    Thermadorian vibrations...

    Nails are definitely not on the menu! And like I said about the bones, not every disposal can handle this, certainly not most made today!

    Thermadorian vibrations...

    I’d imagine about the same amount of time they’re both truly beasts! As I’ve said, I’d like to find a batch feed Maytag for the other side of the sink, or a batch feed Kitchenaid!

    Thermadorian vibrations...

    I’m hoping, plus it was rather caked with 39 years of dried muck when I got it, so I wanted to give it the most thorough scouring I could! I’m really looking forward to this one as my long term disposer, it works well and is now quiet as it should be! I’ll be devastated if it craps out on my...

    Thermadorian vibrations...

    Well, I decided the mounting flange wasn't tight enough to the sink, so I cranked the screws down, replaced the metal outlet elbow with a plastic one, (just cutting that thing to length made me regret the metal one...) and then threw about 3 lamb shank bones down the thing, seems to be running...

    Thermadorian vibrations...

    Well, I don't know if I showed the mounting situation before, but I initially had this Thermador WK disposal mounted with a newer Anaheim "EZ mount", the plastic one, as it was the only mount that fit which I also had 'around da house'. It ran perfectly smooth and normal... But then the...

    Gross ice maker

    The tubing could definitely be suspect, I'd probably consider replacing the line and cleaning the thing out!   I'd definitely clean it up too, never really cared for ice cube trays... What a bother!

    Thermador Garbage disposal??

    Well, its here, the grind ring still looks like new, and I have it installed! Its on an Anaheim EZ-mount flange at the moment, but I have a WK 3 bolt one on its way. But the splash guard is done for, and I do need to find a new one... Not sure how this will happen!   Since the Youtube Embed...

    Bigger and bigger smartphones: planned obsolescence?

    I know the audio complaints about the lack of a headphone port, but the thing is the audio coming out of the built in headphone port was nothing but the same digital stream run through a DAC to convert it to analog for use in the headphones.
