Does anyone know if this motor would need any kind of oil/grease after all these years and if so how would I go about greasing/oiling it? Thanks. Gary

Thank you to Martin (Yogitunes) for sending me this Sunbeam Mixer that he grabbed from an 1800 Victorian home/funeral parlour that is going to be demolished. The mixer was in one of the pantries, purchased from a store that closed in 1980. The house has been sitting for 10-15 years, fully...

I had my Corina counter top installed about 15 years ago. I like that it is seamless, easy to clean and scratches can be buffed out if necessary although I've yet needed to have that done. The installer also finished the edges of the sink cut outs and gave them to me so I use them as cutting...

I have not seen any pics posted upside down. I'm using Windows 10 and Chrome for the browser. Gary

Petek, FYI, Bagged milk is sold in Ontario, Quebec and the Maritimes. Gary

I've got a Cuisinart motorized 4 slice toaster and it works great...toasts the bread very evenly and relatively quickly. I had the Kitchen Aid equivalent prior to the Cuisinart and it was horrible...toasted unevenly and very slow. Gary

I finally went to the grocery store in the city this afternoon. It was slim pickings. There was no flour, eggs, chicken, red meat, not much fruit or vegetables, no potatoes. There were a few loaves of bred. I managed to get flour and eggs from the small grocery store in the little town where...

Maybe there wasn't enough space in either room for the machine so they took advantage of the space in both rooms :-) Gary

John, If the yeast was purchased in 2010 I doubt that it would still be active...did you proof it? I've used yeast that was not even 2 years old and the bread would not rise. Gary

I like the single cup brewer...it is fast, easy and the coffee to me tastes good. The coffee packs are recyclable. Gary

This is the Sears electric typewriter my parents got me for Christmas when I was in grade 9. I used it for all my school essays, etc. I still have it but it has not been used in at least 25 years. Gary

I had 2 cups of coffee this morning, using 2 different brands. They were both very good and the coffee was hot like I prefer instead of lukewarm from many k-cup brewers. The brewer heats up fast, is very quiet compared to a Keurig or my current Cuisinart. One down side is that there is not...

It does use its own packs only....not K-cup. The packs can be returned to the store for recycling.

A couple of weeks ago I was in a coffee store where they sells all kinds of brewers, coffeemakers, supplies, coffee, etc. Afterwards I started getting ads on Instagram from the store. One of them was to purchase at least $75 in Mars Flavia single serve coffee packs and get a free brewer valued...

I'm on my 3rd Tfal Optigrill. The first one only lasted a couple of months and then the electronics went wonky. Sent it back to TSC and they replaced it. The 2nd one arrived dead so back it went and they sent a 3rd one. It has worked for a couple of years but now every so often the...

Speed Queen is not available in Canada and the equivalent Huebsch is not available where we live so not an option. The Maytag front loader was my first choice but the detergent dispenser was made of cheap plastic...the tab to remove it from the machine broke when I pressed on it on the display...

She did not like the Amana top loader (which was the best of the top loaders) so a front loader was the only option and unfortunately all front loaders are full of electronics so there was not much choice.

We went washer shopping this afternoon and she ended up getting the Electrolux EFLS527UTT which is in Titanium from BestBuy. For some reason Bestbuy does not carry the 527 in white however both the 427 and 627 are available in white from them. I think she got a good price. It was priced at...

LOL @ Petek.....she washes her bedding weekly so that's 1 load, then she does a load of towels plus a load of colours and possibly whites. Roper is not available in Canada. I'll check if Amana is available here. We have limited stores for appliances - Best Buy, Home Depot, Leon's, The...

She does not want to buy used and she is not against spending a little more for quality for something that will last. She is 66 years old. I am thinking that she should get a machine with an internal heater even though her water is hot as the water will cool with long cycle times. I'm in...
