    GE "Spacemaker" Unitized W&D Set

    Worst stacked washer ever. I have the Kenmore version of it. However, it's fun to play with it once in a while. What I really want is a real Skinny Mini.

    Does your dishwasher smell like fish?

    Good practices, maybe? I have one of the crappiest dishwashers ever (kenmore portable, modern) and I NEVER had any issues with smelly dw. OTOH, the racks probably won't survive until the end of the year and replacement racks are more expensive than replacing the dw. I've never seen such...

    Frigidaire Unimatic washer

    It's one of my dream machines but, as somebody mentioned above, distance is the problem and shipping costs are outrageous for something that big and heavy.

    GE "Spacemaker" Unitized W&D Set

    That's interesting... it looks a lot.like my Kenmore All-in-one (WCI fake skinny mini)

    What's everyone using for laundry detergent these days?

    Tide with bleach powder for whites or anything that is VERY dirty. Kirkland powder that comes in the white bucket with the blue lid for colors, darks, not so dirty clothes. This week I saw the new persil whatever name they give to their pods and bought a large tub to try. I used it. It's OK...

    Toaster Oven Thread ... what's on your counter?

    @chetlaham I totally feel you. I was a Kitchen-Aid guy and for many years I would nearly run away from any Breville product, thinking Kitchen-Aid was far superior. Then my mixer was replaced under warranty over 7 times, my KA blender was also replaced. When it came time to buy a food...

    Junk store find.

    @rp2813 You could also consider the Breville precision brewer. It has both glass and thermal version. It's an spectacular machine with impressive precision and tons of parameters that you can adjust. It's also a very robust and reliable machine, even being full of electronics.

    fancy washing machines

    Well, "fancy" can mean many things. In my collection I have "fancy" washers. I have a Miele, fancy isn't it? But I also have a hotpoint portable that was found new in box. How fancy! 40 something years later that gem was waiting for me. I also have a calypso... isn't that fancy well actually...

    Have Increasing Energy Prices Caused Change in Your Laundry Routine

    No changes here at all. Water heater always set to maximum temperature the thermostat allows, Clothes meticulously sorted, Landlord freaking out because of the water bill outrageously expensive and I still take many baths per day.

    Robot Vacuum / Mop Recommendations

    I have Ecovacs and now I'm a Dreame guy. I have not one, but THREE Dreame robots. Two of them have self cleaning features. I absolutely love them because FINALLY I have my TERRIBLE cheap laminate floors squeaky clean and shining. And all I have to do is empty the dirty water tank and refill...

    Robotaxis Get Full GREEN light

    Well, former Lyft driver here... Even before fully autonomous cars, Lyft could know somebody make a mess or disrespected the driver or did whatever in the car because of the "AMP" a pink moustache-looking device that we had to place on the dashboard and had built in cameras and microphones...

    Interesting Find...Brastemp Washer/Dryer

    Oh, i forgot to mention..... In a country that LG and Samsung were debuting their washer-dryers that had DD inverter motors that were super silent and caused a huge revolution on the marked and helped popularizing dryers in Brazil, brastemp released this model in a hurry naming the motor as...

    Interesting Find...Brastemp Washer/Dryer

    In time: it distributes, then the drum stops for 1 second, then it starts spinning. What could be more stupid?

    Interesting Find...Brastemp Washer/Dryer

    It was bad because: 1) it was made in china 2) it had serious issues with the bearings (they lasted a few months and probably 100% of the units sold had to have the bearings replaced at least twice during the 1-year warranty. 3) the PCB was probably sourced by the worst electronic manufacturer...

    I can't believe I've never thought to do this.

    Another reason i miss the Brazilian bathrooms and the Brazilian way of cleaning. And it's also a "cliché" thing all Brazilian immigrants end up learning the worst way when they move here (usually destroying their first home the very first time they clean the bathrooms) In my apartment back in...

    Interesting Find...Brastemp Washer/Dryer

    That washer was a terrible disaster. I think even Whirlpool regrets putting that thing on the market

    Here we go again...

    Yes and no.... yes, it can build up if you don't have good laundry habits, don't use a good detergent, don't use hot water, LCB, etc.. I have my hand VERY heavy on fabric softener and my washers have ZERO buildup. My water heater is set to "almost trigger the safety valve", my hot washers are...

    Fabric Softener Sales Plunge - Millennials Don't Know What It Is For

    I cannot imagine my life without an abusive and offensive explosion of scent and fluffiness. If I could I'd probably even drink or inject FS in my veins. As it's not possible, a cupful (sometimes more) in the final rinse. If the neighbors two blocks away from me cannot say "Thomas is doing...

    GE Mobile Maid SM200DS

    HEEEEEELP I need ideas. How can I clean the rinse-aid dispenser? I'm afraid to take it apart because... well, just because.. you know the golden rule, it's old and if it's not broken, don't touch it. But anyways, it is nasty. It has a dry blue thing in it, and I want to clean it... ideas...
