Kirby vac are still regarded as one of the best vacs out there, you just don't much online due to the cost. If you have lots of carpet they are worth every penny. I keep a Gen 5 on the main floor, a Gen 4 of the second floor and keep a few older units in the basement rec room.   Love the...

I bought a 12 piece set of Tramatina 3 ply cookware last year, very nice.  It's just a tiny step down from All Clad but the cost savings are great.

Water lines in my area of MI are about 8' deep or more water temp is pretty consistent in the 50's.    

I have that exact pair, hard to believe it's creeping up on 30 years!  They are semi retired, run a load now and then to keep things lubricated. This set replaced the '73 piano key Kenmore set. Now I'm more than happy with my Duets.   Hope you enjoy the set!

Pods fit in my KA only one way, have to rotate them.

Sure - let's all use more energy , more water, more gas.  More, more, more so the cronies can make more money.  No thanks.

I started using Ivory in the early 80's when I got contacts, was told it did not leave anything on your fingers. Used it since then but since I quit contacts I've been using liquid soaps. Still keep a bar in the bathroom by the sink but rarely use it. In the shower I use Nivea Cool for men...

Transformco is a Sears holding company.   BTW you can buy Kenmore products at Lowes too. https://www.lowes.com/pl/appliances/kenmore/4294937007-3785168024

Well as someone who owned and used a 2800 for years, yes it did work very well, and yes at EOL it left  black rubber spots on everything.

Nice DW,had one for about 10 years in the 80's.  At the end it developed a few issues.  Wash arm has a magnet that is used to sense if the arm is blocked from turning. IIRC if it throws an error the machine stopped. This started happening often. The second more problematic issue is the seals...

My aunt's house built in the early 50's had oil heat till we swapped out the furnace in the early 70's.  It was a nasty thing, everything in the house had a yellow coating from the oil. The house was in the city and there was gas available at some point so I have no idea why oil was used.

My brother has had a couple of these over the decades.  He said the older one, like in the picture,  was a bit more powerful.  He had every accessory made for the original but many did not work with the newer model. The area on the left also contained the grease trap for the grill unit that...

Got to admit I wasn't aware of some of them.  I do do a few, not sure I buy some, but worth a look. https://www.familyhandyman.com/list/dryer-hacks/

My milk keeps well past it's date but I credit  my fridge for that.  My WP has a cold air vent that feeds chilled air into the door above the bin I keep my milk in.

It's BEST if used by, does not mean it's bad.  I have tons of stuff that is past it's best by date, no qualms about using it.  Best by is a marketing scam to get people to toss perfectly good food and buy more.

Wow, you must do a lot of laundry, for me a mid sized bottle of Downy might last 2 years.  5 gallons would out live me.....

Well finally was able to remove the  bowl last night.  Tried oil, no luck, tried putting it on the floor straddling it, no luck.  Finally put it in the sink and submerged the base in very hot water after a few minutes -success!    Been using this KA for 30+ years never had this much of an...

I've tried giving it a jerk, no luck.  Been making dough in this KA for 30+ years the bowl stuck many times but never like this.   Will give the WD idea a try when I hunt down where I stashed it.

Last night I was trying a new cinnamon roll  recipe that incorporates tangzhong and requires a long kneading time.  It a fairly tight dough and I should have used my Nutramill dough setup but used the KA instead.  Anyway after 2 long kneading sessions the bowl is firmly twisted into the base and...

These are not the "real" Kodak and Poloroid, those companies ceased to exist some time ago.  Just like RCA, Radio Shack and many other companies some junk company bough the name hoping to  suck customers in with a legacy name. I read at the latest CES there were  3 or 4 booths claiming the Kodak...
