    Why did the Frigidaire Flair and Hotpoint Hallmark ranges….

    Sarah That thing is awesome. First time I used it was still in Brazil, during those annoying (but necessary) safety trainings at Electrolux. Some time ago, I remember they used to come in a can that was like a tiny fire extinguisher and it was an aerosol but with that absurd amount (when using...

    Why did the Frigidaire Flair and Hotpoint Hallmark ranges….

    A bit over 24 hours ago... I moved a 2-oven Frigidaire Flair. Issue number one: that thing is heavy. (Not that ranges are lightweight but that thing is much heavier than an average range.) Issue number two: Honestly? Maybe I was expecting more, the oven size is somewhat "meh". Issue number...

    You asked for a Horizontal-Axis Top Load washer?

    Considering the logistics and semiconductors worldwide chaos, I'm glad we still have enough products in stock for another month. Deep inside me, one could hear the bell sounding and watch me panicking because I know that sooner or later we will end up running out of stock for nearly all our...

    Now I can cook my dinner electronically!

    I doubt there will be a divorce there. None of them care. If I had the money, I'd buy that house as is, replace the carpet, repaint, maybe modernize the electrical or do some plumbing work and that's it. It's a MCM house, miraculously with a full basement in Studio City. It has a nice swimming...

    Now I can cook my dinner electronically!

    Swestoyz.... They said it was a front load washer dryer combo, gas, and it was "rca and Whirlpool" It went to the crusher a couple of hours before I arrived there. The other radarange is there in the other kitchen but it probably won't last long, specially with his wife saying that thing...

    Now I can cook my dinner electronically!

    Well... this thing appeared to me for free on Offer Up a few days ago. The owner inherited the house from his grandparents and his wife was annoying him to get rid of all "that old junk". Ok, I'm liking it a lot, come on, it's a Radarange! But I left his house frustrated when he told me a guy...

    You asked for a Horizontal-Axis Top Load washer?

    Using hot water is actually very simple, just get a Y-hose from Homo Depot, then select the temperature on the valve. Indeed, it has no electronics AT ALL! Clear demo version... hummm nope... too much money involved and the ROI would make the CEO freak out. Wash action is similar to a front...

    You asked for a Horizontal-Axis Top Load washer?

    Its all about cost, cost and cost. Spin cycle? Nope! That involves a suspension system = added weight (a lot) and $$$$$$. Hot water inlet, nope... 99% of users will have it hooked up to a kitchen or bathroom sink. Adding a valve means a more expensive washer in a market with consumers that...

    But we all knew this anyway...

    Kitchen-Aid here And no matter what, when it dies (or if I get tired of it) I'll go with Breville just to have everything matching and Breville has proven to me (food processor, coffee maker, milk frother, pizza whatever thing) that they have excellent quality. I don't expect them to last 20...

    Alexa saved my home and my pets from a fire

    Didn't even have to. I have probably the most amazing landlord in the world. He's like "Don't worry, Thomas, I'll take care of everything" and he really is, at the same time he's being very nice to the other tenant (the front house neighbor whose car started the fire). Mr. Jones is more like a...

    Alexa saved my home and my pets from a fire

    The batteries are sealed (10-year) impossible to replace. They supposedly last 10 years and the life is the same as the detector. But as they sounded non stop for a bit over 1 hour, the batteries drained and died (with honors) it did what it had to do, worked when I most needed it. Also, just...

    Alexa saved my home and my pets from a fire

    The thing is... my smoke alarms are NOT "smart". I must replace them because now they're all chirping. The battery may have died.

    Alexa saved my home and my pets from a fire

    It was scary, but at the same time it was a big relief when I arrived home and saw all that mess and that my pets were all OK. Simple smoke alarms (and Alexa) made a huge difference. FOUR MINUTES AND ELEVEN SECONDS of difference, to be more specific. That was the time between Alexa sending me...

    Alexa saved my home and my pets from a fire

    I've always had that small internal conflict trying to balance my privacy and the convenience of having the Amazon Echo (popularly known as Alexa). I've even mentioned it here a few times before. Today, an incident changed everything and made me really trust Alexa. Earlier this year, I learned...

    Late Victorian Architectural Plans and Details

    Beforehand, I'm not exactly sure if this belongs here or the Imperial forum. I just followed the "other products for home" as it's not a "vintage automatic washer". A friend of mine was kind enough to surprise me with a pdf copy of the book Late Victorian Architectural Plans and Details, by...

    Maytag Centennial MVWC400VW1 not agitating correctly. Help!

    I had the exact same machine. Two tools can solve the problem of ANY those "Faketags" very easily. Gasoline and a match. Instead of repairing that "thing", why not get rid of it a d buy a REAL washer? In this specific case, I'll even say something you guys probably never saw me saying: "-get...
