    Got new appliances after 18 years

    But here's the thing... how do you even know if you have surges? And if you do or don't have a surge, how do you know that that was the cause of a control board dying? That's what I've been saying. I honestly do not know if the surge protector is even doing ANYTHING at all. The only data I have...

    Got new appliances after 18 years

    My goodness... I didn't even think about it being a "proper" surge protector or possibly even counterfeit... Probably 2008 (yes, it's been that long) I had one of those (I guess cheap) flat surge protectors that multiple things can be plugged into...with lights on it that are STILL ON to this...

    Putting dish soap in a washing machine

    wouldn't that be like washing laundry with pre-treater? I ran across a video on YouTube not long ago but I can't find it. I can't remember the title to search for it in my history... something like "This is what I do to save money. I haven't bought laundry detergent in YEARS he said. He was...

The bed got set up before the topper so I was sleeping on the bed for 2 nights without the topper before it got here...The REASON...

    Home Depot Dryer Installation!! Seriously???

    I remember when I got my dryer in 2018 (either HD or Lowe's) I can't remember..but I was like "just leave it" I'll do it. Because although I'm not that handy... a clothes dryer I can install.... they said nope we have to install it. Picture it: Looking behind the dryer at the vent tube that...

    Speed Queen TR washers

    Does TR get dirty clothes clean? Not according to a few videos I've watched in the past of PISSED users who were complaining in video rants they made. They had NO problem with the build quailty. It was the actual washing/rinsing. This was just a video of what sounded like someone who may have...

    I think I RUINED my laptop

    so it's about 3 years old. An HP with windows 11. Fastest laptop I ever had...anyway, on bootup the fan made a weird noise so I wondered if it was dirty... the sound went away and it worked fine but part of me was wondering if I should look at the fan and possibly clean it... so I watched a...

    Refrigerator review, WRFF3436RZ00, WP french door

    I remember the first time I took my ice bin out in my whirlpool side x side...I wasn't sure how it came out... Now that it's been out many times you have to lift up then pull otherwise it does feel frozen in place. It is so freaking SAD that in 2025 we can't really trust any brands for...

    Dish soap clogging dispenser

    Yeah... to be clear... the nozzle was/is closed after each use... It's the residue left on the nozzle after squirting some out that is left exposed to the air that's on the outside of the nozzle (if not wiped or rinsed off) that dries/clogs.. so wiping/rinsing is the solution...at least I THINK...

    Favorite dishwasher detergent and rinse aid...

    Finish Quantum.. When you open the package... the scent hits you like a brick wall. It literally almost knocks me down... Strangely enough, when the dishwasher is done, absolutely NO trace is left on dishes of any smell. It's totally neutral. In fact, even while the dishwasher is running it's...

    Dish soap clogging dispenser

    That's what I do.. I transfer some into an OLD dish detergent bottle that has the push up, puish down on top to open/close...because those were so much better.. The last couple of days I've been more conscious about giving the top a wipe after I squirt some out... and it's A OK doing that...the...

    My Whirlpool dishwasher

    from the videos I've seen of dishwashers in action from the INSIDE with the camera on and lights... it doesn't looks me me like they're peeing on dishes... it looks like pretty decent spray action going on... Granted, it's not a hurricane in a box, but it's more that a small water fountain Take...

    Maytag dryer. Safe to use or time for the crusher?

    One thing I notice (unless you cleaned it after taking it apart) is the lack of lint buildup inside the machine (if you can look past the tar explosion on everything)..I guess that's because it vented directly to the outside.. I guess that shows what good airflow can do? if it's 20 YEARS old, I...

    "New and improved" cascade platinum and platinum plus.

    Oh... I forgot... How much STPP? I eyeball it but I'd say 1/2 tablespoon... I just poor in with the pod what I think is around 1/2 tbs Oh and... Trisodium Dicarboxymethyl Alaninate?? Does this mean they possibly found the missing link? I hope so.

    "New and improved" cascade platinum and platinum plus.

    And just for any of you here who are thinking it's foaming sudsing because the load isn't dirty enough or the person using it might have a water softener - I can tell you I have hard water, no softener at all and when I tried them YEARS ago, I could hear the dishwasher struggling.. this was with...

    Dish soap clogging dispenser

    Yes, most everything goes in the dishwasher...but I still use dish soap... You know, cleaning the sink or those rare things I don't run through the dishwasher here and there, etc.. I also make bottles of homemade cleaner using dish soap, alchol, peroxide, essential oil, water into a spray...
