    Thermador Garbage disposal??

    I'm nearly certain this is a genuine Waste King? Should I have had more reservations in buying it? If it is what I think it is, and the grind ring isn't worn smooth, this should be a very good disposal yes?

    Bigger and bigger smartphones: planned obsolescence?

    The people who like the larger iPhones tend to also use their iPhone and not a computer. Personally when I was given the option of a 6+ I chose the 6 because I felt the + was just too big. I can’t use the 6+ one handed well, as my thump can’t reach all the way across the screen! I like the size...

    GE ‘High Speed’ Disposall, is this an 8,000 RPM unit?

    Sadly the GE has too small of a chamber and was way too loud to please the mother, so despite the insistence on just leaving that one in there and ‘no more disposals’ (I just had the one good working one, come on!) I decided that my search for a vintage beast will take long enough to justify...

    GE ‘High Speed’ Disposall, is this an 8,000 RPM unit?

    You'll have to upload it to Youtube or something similar, and then post the link. For some stupid reason, mobile Youtube and Flickr won't let you access the thing to copy and paste for embedding the video in a post, and Youtube's embed thing seems to be broken lately...

    GE ‘High Speed’ Disposall, is this an 8,000 RPM unit?

    Lack of use is probably the reason it stank! you have to run things through it to keep it clean and knock all the buildup out of it!

    GE ‘High Speed’ Disposall, is this an 8,000 RPM unit?

    May tag is definitely on my radar, as are Viking, National, Kitchenaid, an older Waste King, and InSinkErator. There's an ISE Kenmore I'm eyeing, hopefully in a week or so it'll still be available, I may g for it, but it is on the newer end of what I'd like to find (I think early 90s, could be...

    GE ‘High Speed’ Disposall, is this an 8,000 RPM unit?

    I’d still love to see one with a larger grind chamber and maybe a more powerful motor to accommodate that extra drag. Some larger things can get sideways and sort of straddle over the impellers. But if I break up the watermelon rind into smallish pieces before, maybe 2-3 inches square, they...

    GE ‘High Speed’ Disposall, is this an 8,000 RPM unit?

    The grind plate has a spike on each side of it, but what really seems to get the shredding action going is the water. It doesn’t want to move as fast as the flywheel, which is what slows the motor down, the water basically seems to hold the food waste while the impellers shred on it. The spike...

    Looking for older garbage disposal with cast metal shredder ring.

    I found my high speed GE, and now I want to find something a bit more beastly and slow turning. The main thing I'm after is being able to dispose of any kind of bones, without the lightest concern about damaging the machine. Also prefer something on the quiet side, as I already am receiving...

    GE ‘High Speed’ Disposall, is this an 8,000 RPM unit?

    Stupid YouTube!!! See link for FULL video!                 Well here it is! Watch it eat all the parts of the chicken people didn't... Mom finds it loud, eventually it'll move to the left side of the sink and a much larger unit will live there, preferably something vintage, beastly...

    GE ‘High Speed’ Disposall, is this an 8,000 RPM unit?

    It’s installed and running!! What a fun thing this is to use! I’ve got video of it, I’ll get that uploaded and posted tomorrow, but pictures in the meantime! Mom finds the motor to be loud, but agrees that you can’t hardly hear a thing from the grind chamber, compared to others there’s very...

    GE ‘High Speed’ Disposall, is this an 8,000 RPM unit?

    Well, it’s at home waiting for me! We’ll see what this thing is like soon enough!!

    "Dry Cleaning" upholstery fabric

    Capture Is my suggestion as well, since things don’t get wet it typically avoids the damage! Just try in an inconspicuous spot first as they all say...

    GE ‘High Speed’ Disposall, is this an 8,000 RPM unit?

    I figure this will be more of a concern especially with this being the 1/3HP variety, but I do expect to be impressed with this one. I would probably prefer a 1/2 with the Carboloy cutter, as I don’t think this one has it, but these disposals don’t seem common enough for me to feel like I can be...

    GE ‘High Speed’ Disposall, is this an 8,000 RPM unit?

    I know it’s a “real Disposall” being made in Louisville KY, so it is definitely of the type I’m after, but I wanted to know if this is the 8,000 RPM. Unfortunately the Anaheim Waste Maid has an accident that led to a broken hammer, going to see if I can warranty it out, but in the meantime I’ve...

    Asko D1776 project

    I’m honestly not sure on the age of this one. I thought it was new enough for the modern forum but who knows... I have some experience with their washers and dryers, which I found to be excellent, and so far this dishwasher is just as good! But Asko is a new thing to me...

    Is she a keeper?

    I’ve had limited, but positive experience with this style machine. A family member has a Whirlpool branded one, no complaints honestly, I’d say its a good one.

    Asko D1776 project

    So I grabbed a very cheap Asko for my grandma, since her Maytag has rusty rack disease. It’s in very good condition but missing some things. It should come out quite nice when it’s done, it works quite well! More to come as I get all the parts it’s missing!
