The Main Attraction The setting, the collection, the sheer magnitude of appliances is like opening King Tut's Tomb for the first time. But nothing in all your life's experience prepares you for the stunning experience of being with John, the famous Combo 52. John is warm, friendly and a...

Canister Guy I enjoy the absolute adaptability and convenience of a canister adding and changing any attachment or tool as you clean a room. No stopping, no delay, just thorough convenience. For 40 years I used an Electrolux with a Tan G being the machine of choice. I experienced my first...

House Label There are minimum specs for each house labeled products. There are no maximum spec limits on house brands. If a processing plant is running an order for Green Giant or Minute Maid if there's over run in the production quota what is left frome Minute Maid might roll into the front...

Amazing Listed the fridge on craigslist and got an email: "if you hold the fridge till I get off work I'll give you $350.00". Turns out they live in the same development.

Uncle Dan's In the West before Ranch dressing craze hit we bought Uncle Dan's Buttermilk Dressing mix in a packet. We added 1 cup mayonnaise and 1 cup buttermilk and gave it a stir. To this day I keep a container ready to go on the door of the fridge. It's lighter in texture and taste than...

Mike and Sara have a black 22 cubic foot Whirlpool Bottom Freezer refrigerator with ice maker. It was purchased New for their house in Texas in May, 2011. Their house in Kansas City came with a Whirlpool side by side so they are selling the bottom freezer unit with roll out door for $300.00...

Heart Tug I bought this range New in 1975 and loved every moment I owned it. Learning to stir in square corningware sauce pans and not send it shooting out the corner like a fluke, not so much.

After All These Doors I have a separate freezer so refrigerator real estate is important. Top of the list is bottom freezer with single door. Never met a French door I wanted to french with, a side by side ends up being a 25cu foot ice and water machine and last choice choice would be top...

Chemicals Kill the bugs, make the garden grow and create stunning laundry. Spend a little time on your knees at church tomorrow and you'll be forgiven. I'm glad you're enjoying the mixers.

Easier I agree, Martin. The younger ones are okay until the power goes out, the store is closed or they are removed from their normal surroundings. Without knowing how, why or what to use to take the place of modern existence they won't know how to improvise.

Last Week Peter and I rented an Impala on our California trip. Peter drives an Acura and when he pulled off the lot he announced he wasn't going to like it. When we merged on the freeway and he stepped on the gas and it took off like a shot. He had issues keeping with in the speed limit the...

After AllThese Years Raising 5 kids without running water twisted mom's psyche about water usage. After we got running water she thought automatics were too wasteful and would only use a wringer. Our first automatic was a used GE with a suds saver that I bought used. We drained the water into...

Luck and Kindness I recently cleaned out my garagetiques and offered them on AW. I was deeply touched by good friends who took it all in a matter of days. I'm sure the same will be true for you. Good luck!

Sponges Belong in the Ocean I have never found a way to use sponges to clean surfaces and not leave streaks and they're dinky so it takes a lot of effort to clean large surfaces. Grew up with a dishpan full of Hot soapy water and a dishrag. I put everything that fits in the dishwasher but use...

B String It looks like the first load was the opening act for the ones more pristine yet to come.

Agitator Lamps In the old days when I had a second store I made 4 agitator lamps, paid for the electrical and bought the shades. In four years not a nibble or even "that's gross" just ignored.

Shipping Updates A model 12 and 11 left today for Wisconsin and a Le Chef processor for Texas. All that's left is a lonely model 12 but it's nice to see the counter again.

off We Go 4 large cartons are on their way to Michigan via UPS. One long, skinny box is in the mail on its a way to Vermont. In the morning a box heads out to Missouri with our friends at UPS. I am leaving for Seattle on the 3rd before the mail comes and having a day of tests. We'll be in...
