    Has anyone tested the EcoDry Option on a SQ Dryer for Energy Savings?

    I have no clue as to whether it works or how it works, but it would seem o me that the best way to save energy would be to INCREASE the temperature rather than decrease because the cycle would complete faster and the constant energy use factor of the motor for tumbling and fan would spend less...

    I need help to choose a new vacuum

    Check your local CL and eBay Get a vintage Electrolux like a 1205 or an Olympia 1. Best vacuum of the canister and tank category in my personal opinion. A motor that lasts forever, tools that aren't toys, like a real horsehair dust brush and floor tool. Auto cord rewind that isn't cheap and...

    Is Tide powder detergent still good?

    I use standard Tide powder, without bleach. I think it easily outperforms Tide liquid on white towels, I seldom use LCB as a result. I fine detergent. Tide with bleach is too expensive in my mind, standard Tide can be purchased at a warehouse club store for a slight discount. Tide is already too...

    Speed Queen in 2018: Theory About The Motivation For Redesign

    One problem with that... I can understand were he is going, but there is one flaw with his theory, they already have a use for all of those FL washer parts, the Horizon soft-mount commercial washer. According to a conversation with John Lefever, there is NOTHING different internally and the...

    "Iceberg Dead Ahead!"

    From what I have read, Whirlpool is hands down better than the rest of the domestic competition without going to ridiculously priced built-in models(SubZero, Viking, Thermador, etc.). I don't know how the Korean brands hold up, but I can imagine parts support won't be that great.

    "Iceberg Dead Ahead!"

    Right John, too complicated; Father won't return Ralph I took a better look at it today, it isn't a defroster condensate line, it is leaking from the water filter unit at the top right corner of the fridge and dripping down the back of the fridge. It also says how little insulation there is...

    "Iceberg Dead Ahead!"

    My mother has been wondering why the cheese has been freezing lately... This fridge is only 8 months old, it already has a clogged/kinked condensate line for the defroster. Either that or the water filter is leaking. The location is the bottom right side of the fridge compartment, this model is...

    How To Do Laundry

    This nonsense actually got published? I didn't know that Australia was 65 years behind the US and Europe and still using soaps instead of synthetic detergents. Either this lady is stupid(likely) or Henkel/P&G/Lever don't like Australians, and think they cannot be trusted with even 1950s...
