I've used and was satisfied with Cascade Complete powder for years, but now I can't seem to find it in the store anymore. So I switched to Cascade Complete liquid, and it does the job just fine.

Yeah, you might as well wash your clothes on a rock by the river. 😮

Indeed, they are eye-catching designs, and so is the "Sled" model in cobalt blue glass. But your right, they are simple AM radios. It's all about superficiality, looks.. which humans are known for.

Ah, I beg to differ there Jerome, smart appliances, and phones are smart. It's the humans who use them are stupid. Think: The Dumbing Down Of America - by way of technology.

It's nice that you take the time for mom's benefit, the old saying is "You only get one mother" How far away is your mom's home? And is it within driving distance?

Panasonic is known for their well built products including their TV and audio stuff.

Isn't modern technology just FABULOUS? That is when it "works" the way YOU expect it to! Because people that "bought into" this "latest" tech are complaining daily about things that you just mentioned. God forbid you use a browser that's not updated, or a PC/laptop/phone that's not current. I...

That's why using parts that are rated beyond a product's highest operating levels is simply good design practice. And the designer has to choose from a parts vender who's got a solid reputation for quality, or come up with a part made in-house and tested for reliabilty and suitability.

That's stretching things a bit far, unless you like distorted sound. 3 watts doesn't give enough headroom for even driving efficient speakers properly with music that has peaks/crescendos, unless it's done at "background" levels. My console pictured in post #65, is all tubes, except for the...

Hydrowave?????? More like a Lavawave.... and we all know lava crawls slowly.

UGH! That machine on the right reminds me of some old fossil of a man 102 years old, attempting to walk to the store. That thing looks just like my neighbor's machine, same control layout. Didn't those Fisher-Patel washers have those computer-controlled direct drive reversing motors too. I seem...

Sorry, but that machines whine and slow sluggish agitation annoys me. If it wern't for that whine, the thing would put me to sleep. My neighbor's Hotpoint has agitation like that too, and he complains that it doesn't clean his laundry well.

There might be a sound blocking panel below the record changer or it's in a compartment away from the speakers which are in another compartment. They call it a "boom shield" or something like that.

I don't doubt that it's tailored propoganda designed to convince gullible consumers to buy certain things. A.I. is BS.

I did some earlier shopping research on toaster-ovens a while back, and also saw some negative reviews from customers, but they were from several brands, all made in china. So I'm keeping my old B&D toaster oven.

The one thing about the "console sound" from those big coffin cabinets is how they were manufactured. Namely, the cabinets themselves. If they were constructed with thin lumber, as many were, they have a tendency to "boom" or resonate from the bass speakers. Basically speaking, "that boxy...

I'm still using my 2007 Black & Decker toaster oven, which still works fine. I mainly use it for the oven, to heat up stuff like frozen potato wedges or puffs. Maybe some garlic bread slices. This way I don't have to heat up the stove oven for such a small portion.

I can understand that Dan..... I've worked on so many stereos over the years, and forget model numbers too. See photo on my previous post.

Mine is the KDC-19 The one with the black control panel - Timer chrome knob on the left, two pushbuttons on right, Sani light on right side of the black area inline with that stripe.

Looks like mine is the #4 "Custom" machine with the two right side buttons
