    Can't beat Mini-splits for heating/cooling

    John ; I think that was me regarding my previous mini split (Mitsubishi) allowing dust to bypass the filter. I didn't get the life out of it I was hoping for partially because of that problem and it eventually leaked. Stung a little more being as it cost a good penny more than other brands...

    Can't beat Mini-splits for heating/cooling

    My new Navien condensing boiler was working flat out the past couple of days trying to maintain the house at 70 so I dropped it to 68 and all was good until the other half starts complaining how cold it is in the house (which I don't find). I didn't bother turning on the mini split because I...

    Video: Persil ‘Wonder Wash’ development at Unilever R&D facility (CNBC Europe)

    It's all marketing hooey to commandeer shelf space in the grocery stores.

    Speed Queen in Australia

    Yikes, no way would I pay that much.They're pricey here in Canada as well, the toploaders run about $1600 to $1800 Cdn . Doesn't appear that they sell the front loaders here currently which is odd, they used to. Reviews I could find on them from Canada are mixed and they don't sell in big...

    The JE 896D1AV General electric versa Tronic range

    I've known two people who had the single oven model and one of those iirc was a Hotpoint but I could be wrong. That was in the very early 80s. GE also came out with an induction stove somewhere in the 80s called the Magna-wave . I saw it at a home expo which was the first time I'd seen an...

    Which Canadian grocery chain locks up its carts like ALDI?

    It could be a dollar coin here now . It does keep the majority of cars being put back into the "cart corals" out in the parking lots rather than just left sitting where the car used to be. You aren't hiking the thing back to the store. Still in all homeless people are taking them moreso than...

    Which Canadian grocery chain locks up its carts like ALDI?

    Near all of them require a coin. There's I think 3 big chains that operate numerous stores each under different banners. The biggest being Loblaws Co. with their Loblaws, Superstore, Zehrs, Valu Mart, No Frills, etc. Then Sobey's who have Sobeys, and I think Metro (which were A&P's) Out west...

    LG WM4000HWA coming Wednesday!

    Congratulations on your new machine... I love how quiet the LG washers are. As well my new LG fridge is dead silent. I've never experienced a silent fridge before.

    I think I'm going to finally buy a front loading washer and I have many questions

    You can test how much warm/hot water the machine will get from turning the hot water tap on and off in much the same way the machine will. Keep in mind that the distance between which ever tap you're testing on is about equal distance to the water heater as the washing machine is. I would...

    I think I'm going to finally buy a front loading washer and I have many questions

    You can test how much warm/hot water the machine will get from turning another hot water tap on and off, like the kitchen sink, in much the same way the machine will. Keep in mind that the distance between which ever tap you're testing on is about equal distance to the water heater as the...

    I think I'm going to finally buy a front loading washer and I have many questions

    Ryner. I'm a realist and most of these cycles and stuff are just window dressing and marketing schlock. Including things in my opinion turbowash. The clothes are in there, they get soaked within a few minutes and are tumbling around in detergent laden water so having something spray down on top...

    I think I'm going to finally buy a front loading washer and I have many questions

    We have the WM3700 model which is I believe is pretty much the same as the WM3400 model but with a few more features that I couldn't say what they are. It has wifi but I never use it. No reason to. When the power button is pressed it always reverts to the normal cycle which is warm wash, high...

    GE has launched a second, slightly cheaper, combo unit

    I wouldn't touch one of these with a 10 foot pole until they come up with 99.9% sealed lint and dust capture.

    Little History Of Lever Bros./Unilever Brands

    Sort of a confusing smozzle. Since Lever Bros (later Unilever) had been selling detergents over here in the US and Canada since forever I wonder why didn't they also sell a Persil since they had that license. Then Henkel moves in about 15 years ago and starts selling it here... am I making...

    Why is that the Persil sold here in N.America is Henckel and not Unilever.

    22 Appliance brands that disappeared

    Couldn't get through more than a minute or two. These videos are just copy and paste garbage from news sites etc often with an annoying AI voice. As well some of them contain errors on purpose for the sole purpose of getting YOU to go down there in the comments and type something out. That's...

    Can we solve a cold and windy problem?

    Mine is straight out the back. There's an awning flap on the outside vent that just opens (gets blown open) when the exhaust fan runs and shuts itself via gravity when the fan is off.. simple mechanism. Perhaps yours is stuck or you don't have one?
