Great now I have to figure out why all colanders don't have longer handles. :)

"The 'laundrymeister" should decide not the government !!" The problem will be self-correcting imo, as listeria, e. coli and other disease outbreaks start occurring in our country. As they routinely do in many other third-world countries. This nannyism can and will only get worse until the de...

1. What happens in a power failure? 2. Can we get unadulterated hot water from it? 3. Does it "feature" partial drains for water savings? I knew this was coming but it doesn't make it any less painful. Electronic control takes much (maybe most) of the flexibility out of these washers imo...

We recently searched for new socks, the first 100 search results were either Chinese sellers and/or products made in China. Every single one of them. Methinks a lot of kickbacks are taking place at eBay. Contrast that to Google, who have been busy intentionally lobotomizing their search...

" If the wanted posts are stuck at the top, I predict that everyone will soon create one" I'm trying to follow that logic. People (including AW members) are either looking to buy something or they aren't. If you're saying members will post just to see their names on top of a forum list, imo...

If the number of WTB ads is usually small, another option might be to hardcode them at the top of the thread list in SS. As many sites do with so-called "sticky posts" (posts considered important enough to keep at the top of a discussion list). It would eliminate the need for subgroups. But if...

"Is Charlie's your daily driver laundry product? How does it do with heavily-soiled or stained loads?" It's our daily driver for lightly soiled laundry. Marketing claims notwithstanding, we've never found a natural detergent with the same cleaning power as petrochemical products+enzymes. So for...

Eugene, thank you for the info. We'll definitely try it. The Nellie's formula is almost identical to Charlie's Laundry Powder, which is hands-down the best smelling laundry product we've ever found. I hope it smells as good.

Good job Eric. Between the washer's ridiculous default water levels, and corkscrew agitator, it must have been a real shredder. Yikes! "Further notes: I removed the end cap too get better access to the adjustment screw on the wash sensor, and laughed at the cost cutting. They didn't even put a...

Paula, great to see new participation in the forums imo. Welcome! Many of us are old enough that "vintage" washers are the ones our parents owned, and that we used and played with as kids. I think it was the first experience for a lot of AW members, and how we first got into them.

Gorjus stove imo, but not a fan of the kitchen. The left and right sides look like two different houses. I'd definitely replace the black countertop, and maybe the range hood. Also the white tile backsplash would pop big time with some paint color on the cabinets and walls.

According to the article, the microwave has to be commercial grade. They have better shielding.

"One major problem is that less and less major appliances are designed to be repaired. That or when they do the cost of parts are often so dear as to equal or approach half if not more of buying a new appliance." Sometimes parts are not expensive, but they're made intentionally obscure and hard...

We almost fell over when someone mentioned a new W/D set in another discussion, it has a price tag (including pedestals) approaching $4,000 and comes with a one-year warranty. What else can you call it imo other than natural selection hard at work.

"Also I don't get the internet access in cars, so may places have wireless internet now, you can just sit in the parking lot and use it, and it's just another pointless bill each month to have it in your car, especially if you already have all the gadgets with mobile data plans." One reason is...

Good grief. Can it make everlasting gobstoppers?

""Clothes didn't get clean in my front-loader." What detergent were you using? Which cycle? I've been using front-loaders since 1988 and have consistently been impressed with cleaning performance, especially with my ultra-low water-use 2010 Frigidaire. I prefer machines with an internal...

The "carbon footprint" claim imo is most ridiculous, and outrageous. The industry has people paying sometimes $2K or more for W/D sets with one-year warranties.

I noticed the same apparent mistake. Maybe the SQ's modified water inlet valve (that reduces flow rate on the hot side) qualifies as ATC to them?

"There's no way a SQ, with its 14-minute wash agitation can compete with an HE machine's 40 to 60-minute wash" It not only can but does, millions of times every day. "A 10 to 14-minute wash is fine for a load that isn't full of heavy stains, or if those stains have been pretreated with Resolve...
