@Laundress: That Miele is offering you a yet unknown discount shows that they value you as a customer. And that has some value. I doubt Whirlpool would offer you a good customer discount these days...

@tolivac: The Skil Mag77 is still readily available at tool jobbers - not at home improvement stores. They are no longer made in the U.S., though, sadly. That's why I like mine - it's on its 4th set of brushes and its 3rd power cord, but is still the best circular saw ever. But you have to...

Thanks for sharing that. I'm not sure if it was you or someone else that labeled the picture with the "hysteresis" tag, but hysteresis is a term that us engineer types tend to attach to things like transformer windings and motors, not pressure switches. Anyway, as long as the clothes get clean...

It's a shame that SQ doesn't get into the latter part of the 20th Century and provide temperature control on their FL & TL machines. We have had Whirlpools that have had ATC since the mid-1990s. Don't get me wrong, I like what they are doing building machines in the U.S and building them to...

Umm... What do you want to buy and how much do you want to pay? HP 2000? HP 3000? DEC VAX/11-780? How much is a used VAX worth without the text editor and Fortran 77 complier? "Symbolic stack dump follows..." Any chance you have used Gandolf boxes available?

Sloppy wiring is sloppy wiring. "My Dream Laundry Room is where everyone loses their life over electrical and plumbing safety code violations." Okay. Maybe Jeremy Clarkson needs a tire-changer or a makeup artist.

Well, the video you posted doesn't support your assertion. Do you lose sleep about how your washing machine might fail?

"+Dirty+Socks" yields many, many results. What exactly are you looking to find?

Kitchen Aid dishwasher warranty is: 1 year parts & labor on the entire machine. 2nd through 5th year, parts only on nylon dish racks and electronic controls. Lifetime parts and labor on stainless steel tub and door liner. That's probably about as good a warranty as a person could get these...

I'll bet it's from that totally (IMO) worthless site: reviewed.laundry.com, aka washerdryerinfo.com Funny how they didn't say in their craigslist ad how poorly they rated the SQ machine. Personally, I'll wait until that dufus collection reviews chainsaws. Then they'll have a craigslist ad...

Well, if some of the displaced New Yorkers decide to relocate to Florida, they can buy up some of the REO properties in Florida for cheap. Not trying to be a smart-azz...but population mobility has historically been a factor in economic recoveries.

Insurance companies will try to exclude coverage - generally, they will try to claim that damage is caused by storm surge, which is considered flooding and not covered by conventional homeowner policies, rather than pay for wind and rain damage. Folks from NY and NJ didn't just fall off the...

Oh, and make sure the installers removed the bracket that keeps the tub from bouncing around in transit. There's a painfully obvious blue tab that sticks out the front of the machine that's attached to the shock absorber isolators that needs to be removed, but dipwad installers could fail to...

It will probably be a perfectly good machine for you. I am becoming increasingly suspicious of internet ratings for anything - as mentioned previously, dissatisfied customers will go all-out to rant, since the internet is a great forum for airing grievances, whether they be real, perceived or...

I would say first to check that the installers really got it leveled side-to-side and front-to-back. If you have a good carpenter's level you can check that - and if they didn't do a good job, I'd call them back to correct. Getting 4 adjustable legs set correctly and locked down takes some...

I wonder what it would take to get Ebac to make a USA version of their dehumidifiers? The USA dehumidifier market consists of Chinese made junk that only lasts maybe 2 years. It may or may not have a familiar brand name stuck on the cabinet. Retail prices run $150-$220 depending on capacity...

Wow, nice machine and in great condition, too! Looks like it has every cycle/option a person could ever need.

Domestic manufacturing is a good thing. I hope they are very successful.

@washerboy: "2 parts water to 1 part rice..bring the water to a boil, add the rice, give a good stir, cover pot and turn to low heat..20 minutes latter perfect rice...no peaking..if you take the lid off before the 20 minutes is up you'll have gummy rice." Yep. No need for a fancy rice cooker...

Wow, a good spirited thread. The only reason we recognize "Jeep" as a brand name is because of a government procurement contract for a light utility military vehicle ca. 1938. The Bantam Motor Company had the best design, but Kaiser Motors and Ford were selected to build Bantam's design...
