The Price is Right Talking of "The Price is Right," Barry: here we have the infamous episode in which Barker's Beauty Holly Hallstrom has trouble with a Gibson refrigerator *ON SCREEN*. Trivia surrounding the show claims that she also had trouble with a Gibson dishwasher later.

John, is that Haier equipped for "permanent" hookup to dedicated plumbing? Or, can it use an adapter to connect to a sink faucet? I got the sense that Ms. Emma may not have a laundry facility in her home. Emma,I found a fully automatic portable unit through Amazon that claims it will handle up...

Take in mind that this is the machine that Appnut Bob has referred to as the "Shredmore" due to its aggressive agitation on most cycles. It would be several years after the subject model before Sears employed the more gentle "normal" action that was akin to what slow/delicate had been, and the...

The lint filter signal tone on my 1997 dryer worked quite well...for about three years. That washer is quite deluxe - the dryer, too! A family friend got exactly that model washer in 1978; 30 years later, it was still going.

That would be the clothes washer from the early seasons of "Home Improvement (1991)." https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0101120/mediaviewer/rm1630913024/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk

That agitator would be Triple Action. Set the agitate speed to extra low with a low to half full tub of water and a good-sized load to see all three motions going at the same time! Also missing - or otherwise not shown - that model dryer features a heated drying rack. It also has a signal to...

Staging Same with the later Rosemary Clooney version of the same ad with garage door units. The appliances are in some sort of hallway half inside and half outside, and there is no way that there is proper hookup behind them. As with Ms. Wyatt, Ms. Clooney talks only about the washer. I heard a...

Reply #3 Bob,is that the episode where Steve and the washer fight with each other? That was a clip in a documentary commemorating the 30th year of television. I have yet to find the actual episode.

Once and only once, I passed by a used appliance store here in the States that had a BOL GE washer with a square of turquoise backsplash on the right surrounding the usual black dial with white lettering.

Definitely solid tub, Bob.

What is irritating to me is that the machines still require hard currency (quarters) in a time when one can use a credit/debit card to purchase street food from a truck in the middle of a parking lot; or a can of soda from a vending machine. And, when access cards for laundry centers at private...

American Freight I am supposing that as long as American Freight - formerly Sears Outlet Store - continues to exist, there will be *one* lifeline for Kenmore. When I was shopping for laundry equipment way back in the year 1997, a Whirlpool and KitchenAid dealer advised me that when WP acquired...

Edit to my earlier post here I learned later that my unit *IS* equipped with a soil sensor that works on the Normal cycle.

That seems same as my ancient WP Cabrio, except for five spray rinses followed by a deep rinse.

Reply #23: one of my guy friends mixes loose grounds and water from a tea kettle directly in his mug/beaker and waits for the grounds to settle. He claims that he gets more flavor in this manner. Cafe Bustelo is his one and only choice. Reflux sufferers: I have been free of the pain of AR for...

The Keurig when I need it fast, the french press (with an electric grinder for whole beans) for leisurely days. I have been faithful to Folgers since the days of my General Electric 12-cup drip machine, so ancient that I do not recall when I bought it. I stopped using that and got the Keurig...

I should be shamed for that clickbait title! Hulu fed me an ad that Sears Outlet Store is now named American Freight.

Not a Preference, But What I Am Using Now I usually just buy what's on sale. But, currently, I am using A&H with Oxi powder. I love the retro scent: it is not flowery, and reminds one of the old powders way back when such as Cheer, or Tide Intensified. When washing whites, I put in an extra...

Neptune owners may correct me if I am mis-remembering, but I seem to recall that my buddy's Neptune varied the pause between tumbling: the cycle for delicates had the longest pause; the cycle for sturdy fabrics or heavy soil had one second pause or less.

Jerry and Tom were very gracious hosts, everyone enjoyed each other's company, and Pittsburgh/Penn Hills scenery is as gorgeous as I had hoped. The Appliance Warehouse downtown had mostly newer products - the oldest makes and models were early 80s. But, a widely varied mix among the washers...
