So what about the ripoff that is Amway products? Terribly overpriced because of the multilevel marketing and not any better than other products.

One reason Europe might be switching to induction might be because of relations with Russia, where they used to get a lot of their natural gas.  There is fear that the gas supply is or may be cut off so use of electricity keep energy in Europe.

It's time for more Fiber! These 2 surly engineers are just like the ones in my neighborhood growing up. Time for the Metamucil 2 Week Challenge!  What will be your Metamucil story?   By the way, it is any coincidence that most of those surly engineers worked for Westinghouse...

This is where we need government intervention.. The Federal EPA should be putting pressure on Frigidaire to make a leak proof product. Even though today's refrigerants are less harmful they still have to be recovered and still harm the environment. Meanwhile a 50s Frigidaire with the nasty...

Had to be GE and Whirlpool... In the case of GE Appliances they had the deep pockets of the parent GE company. Westinghouse and GM Frigidaire were supposed to be the most innovative but were far from the largest production. I think Frigidaire was considered an expensive brand back then, not a...

GE was a lower priced dishwasher The Maytag would have cost more and since Magic Chef was a "budget" line of appliances, consumers would be put off by the inordinately higher price. That Magic Chef looks like the KenRoar I have in my mud room.

Could this have been a Westinghouse invention? Having lived in Pittsburgh we always heard about something from them. Electrolux/Frigidaire appliances today are based on Westinghouse appliances in the past (I think). About 50 years ago I remember I was young and saw a news report on KDKA TV...

So John, what disposers should we buy? Do you recommend going all the way to the ISE Evolution series as a replacement disposal? Or can we go with the higher priced Badger? I guess stay away from the low priced ones that are galvanized? Or should we get that "other kind" that is like GE or...

Here they make Alcosoil... The Allegheny County Sanitary Authority makes a soil product out of our waste. https://www.alcosan.org/about-us/environmental-stewardship

I say Door Number 2 It looks like you would soon be "maxed out" with very few extra circuits left on Door Number 1. By the way, there must be a larger breaker on Door Number 1 that feeds Door Number 2, what is the maximum ampacity of that breaker?

$1600 For KitchenAid? I thought that was getting up into Miele price territory.

It can save clothes from being thrown away... As you know, my 95-year-old mother lives with me and for a while she had been taking too much stool softener and that was causing continence issues. I could not use bleach on all of her clothes, but found out about the Lysol sanitizer and even...

Is this one of those Frigidaire ovens where ... The self clean system was so complex that some people had it turned into a "regular" oven? What about current Frigidaire ovens? I have a feeling they must have a different system, maybe based on Westinghouse ovens?

I notice that the elements and sides of the range seem very close to combustible cabinets and paper. Could that be why Flairs fell out of favor,they were a fire hazard?

It is kind of like that in a hospital central sterile supply If a load of surgical instruments comes out of a steam sterilizer wet (it's not supposed to be) that whole load must be processed from the beginning again. So people who work in health care might think that about the dishwasher. As...

But won't it attract ants? I have found leaving really dirty dishes in the dishwasher for 2 or 3 days there will be ants. Running the machine will solve that but have you had ants?

Rex, if power lines are all underground and the waterproofing has a leak and there is a flood isn't it possible to short out the circuit and electrocute anyone nearby? I would also wonder if it might be harder for a utility to do a "black start" from no electricity at all, as some Florida...

Bradford... You sound like my mother who is 95 years old and has OCD and possible dementia. She insists on pre rinsing, even scraping a food particle off with her old lady nails. I tell her not to do it, it just upsets her "we have to do this!". She is also picking particles off of the...

Radio Stations are limited to 50,000 watts Tolivac, why would your radio station need a 2,200,000 watt generator to run the transmitter? Even with other systems at the station it could not possibly be that much. Maybe a total of 150,000 watts for the whole station with the AC, lighting, etc...

Was the washing action "toned down" any when Maytag took over and turned these into the Atlantis?  Did the Atlantis have the loud clunk when the cycle ended?
