    Panda Spin Dryer Feedback

    I won't tell anybody that The Laundry Alternative is bringing a brand new model that is made of super high grade stainless steel and it's a bit bigger than Panda and Ninja.

    High efficiency Californiaquistan shower heads

    Again, I think I would be very happy with a 2.5 gal shower head and there's no doubt that it would help me save a lot of water. The problem.here is that CA went much beyond that, my shower head had a ridiculous flow, I mean, it wasn't enough to have water coming out from all holes. I didnt...

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

    Kitchenaid dual convection countertop oven I'm quite happy with it. I plan to replace it by a Breville as I'm switching all my small appliances to that brand, but I think I'll wait until it dies.

    Frigidaire Laundry Center

    John I have to agree. As I mentioned above, I have mixed feelings about this washer. Part of me dislikes it a lot and part hates it. But it is a good washer to play with once in a while (and roll eyes). I just can't understand how it reached the market like that. The "delicate" cycle simply...

    Frigidaire Laundry Center

    I have one of those, kenmore version.. and i have mixed feelings. Part of me dislikes it. The other part hates it. Honestly, its still in my laundry room only because it fits perfectly and because at this moment i have no other option to put there to fill the space. I use it sometimes (it's...

    Opinions: most irritating-sounding washer ever?

    1980s Arno washer with brushed motor in Brazil. Usually appliances sound louder on videos. In this case, it's sounding much quieter, maybe the person that made the video kept the finger covering the microphone. That thing was loud as a cheap vacuum cleaner. Video from internet for example only.

    How many loads of laundry do you guys do per week?

    Well... Home clothes, average 8 to 11 loads per week, depending on what I have to wash, sometimes the bathroom mats, the sofa cover, etc. I have a friend that doesn't have a washer in her apartment and she brings her clothes here because she's terrified about using the nasty washers in her...

    Whirlpool Buys InSinkErator!

    Gosh, i need to run and buy a new TOL disposer BEFORE the whirlpool crap hits the market. Talking about whirlpool, the 7th kitchenaid mixer they replaced under warranty chew the plastic gears in ONE USE. Guess who will be unboxing a new mixer AGAIN in a few days.... meanwhile, my mom's...

    SQ Marathon W&D Set

    I had the exact same set. It was ok Until today i dont understand all this thing around speed queen. It was a good machine, it was well built, it was reliable. That is impossible to deny. But in terms of cleaning/rinsing performance, i have in my laundry room many washers that perform much...

    Kirby vacuums now selling at Costco

    I have a kirby and it was quite frustrating. After hearing so much from many members that consider the kirby as the very best invention after sliced bread, I was expecting too much from it. It sucks, great! But i dont thing suction power is everything. Luckily my kirby was free, otherwise id...

    Frigidaire Flair that didn't have a drawer?!?!?!?

    Folks, this morning I was talking to my beloved landlord right in front of my 40-inch Flair and telling him about my plans to restore that stove and change the layout of my kit hen to make room for it. Of course I'd have to learn how to survive with a tiny refrigerator and a countertop...

    New to me Fridgette twin tub

    No idea, the power cord was original, 2 prong... it had a separate ground cord. I'd love to know the year my machine is.

    New to me Fridgette twin tub

    I forgot to mention... yes, it's CUTE. It's tiny like a Maytag A50 and it's so adorable.

    New to me Fridgette twin tub

    Mixed feelings, after playing with it. Wash action is awesome. It really moves clothes, it doesn't tangle as much as I would expect, it gets the clothes clean. Period. Draining sucks. The pump is powered by the impeller motor so the only way to drain or spin is with it agitating. This machine...

    NOS Whirlpool Washer Brush Lint Filter

    Btw, idk why people love that machine. 99% of them are cold water only, add to the mix a silly 14 minute wash. The result is what I've seen my whole life... people in a laundry sink washing everything by hand before putting the clothes in the washer. Or using a "tanquinho" to shred the clothes...

    NOS Whirlpool Washer Brush Lint Filter

    "Tragic"-mix filters Those are still made and sold in Brazil. Whirlpool (Brastemp) was silly enough to kill those washers but 3rd party companies still make spare parts. That washer was an absurd success 1959-1989. When thinking of automatic washers, the only thing that until today would come...

    New to me Fridgette twin tub

    After a few days "dating" with the pictures on OfferUp, tonight Darry and I finally drove to glendale to pick up this little beauty. It works, it has some leaks and a complex drain system. Wash action impressed a lot, capacity isn't horrible as I thought. What else can you guys tell me about...

    Here we go again, the mantra of washing laundry in cold water

    Los angeles, California.... In my laundry room hot means HOT. I cook my clothes (towels, whites and light colors) in freaking hot Blacks and darks, eventually, warm (depending on what loads im washing together, it deplets the water from my heater before it has a chance to recover). Wool or...
