...and the outlet I repeat what has been said by others: the outlet must be replaced, because even if it wasn't defective, now it has been damaged like the dryer cord

Same problem with a dishwasher Many, many years ago, my family had the same problem happening a few times with an old and big 220 V dishwasher that drew something between two and three kilowatts (about 10 or 15 A) for a quite long time. The problem was the plug / socket (receptacle?): the...

Why not in Germany? I don't know why, but I noted that also LG and Hoover (Candy / Haier) do not sell their high-capacity washers in Germany, while they sell them in France

Hisense... ...is actually Chinese and has acquired Gorenje (and hence also Asko)

Facts My problem is that I find it difficult to take advertising for a fact, especially when the advertising is only in the "History" section of the website and consists of the single sentence "The Boretti collection is designed in Italy and produced by Italian family companies." quite weak to...

That's what they say somewhere in their website... ...but in all honesty I am not sure those "small, family-own Italian appliance manufacturers" actually exist, or exist anymore. Not to mention whether a small appliance manufacturer could ever be profitable and survive. "Made in Italy by small...

Boretti Boretti may be well known, but surely not in Italy. And it is not Italian at all, given that the headquarter is in The Netherlands. If you allow me, Louis, you are Dutch and know them as being Italian; I am Italian and never heard of them... To me, it is just another of the many...

Splashless bleach Apparently, Chlorox Splashless Bleach is not just bleach, but it contains also surfactants and of course a thickener. The surfactant is the probable culprit, and as Yogytunes says, some vinegar (or even citric acid) should help to get rid of the residues and hence also of the...

Epoxy and plastics I may be wrong, but I am pretty sure that epoxy adhesives (like the J-B Weld you refer to) do not stick to polypropylene and other "soft" and "oily" plastics (also polyethylene) and generally washer tubs are made of polypropylene. If you want the epoxy to work, you have to...

Septic Assist From what I can see from the website, it seems to me that it just adds some enzymes while it drains, but then I wonder if it wouldn't be easier to just pour in the drain any of the similar products you can buy. In addition, if you use the "septic assist" you are forced to buy...

Trackballs The main advantage with trackballs is that you do not have to move your hand on the table, and hence there is no strain on your arm. I know that a trackball looks weird, but the effect on the arm and hand is in my opinion remarkable, because the muscles do not have to "work". I am...

You are rigth to be proud! I have always believed that it is because of women like you that gender equality will be achieved. And yes: we are curious...

Not persuaded at all What I see when I read the list of ingredients and the website, is a mediocre detergent (a mix of the same surfactant used in any detergent, but without enzymes or oxygen bleach) made solid and sold in strips. Now, the quantity of surfactants I need to wash my laundry is...

Seems a quite common issue I am not sure if the the technical term for that is "copy and paste" or rather "Internet contents supplier" https://www.journalposts.com/i-might-by-no-means-get-my-white-sheets-actually-clear-till-i-tried-this-2-ingredient-combo/

Convenience and shoes size @sudsmaster If I have to put 6 objects at the same distance within a space 13 m and 29 cm wide, I take a calculator, divide 13.29 / 7 = 1.898571429 and I know that my objects will go at 1 m 89 cm and 8 mm (or 189.8 cm) from each other, with an error of less than 1 mm...

Maybe the grapes are sour? With the due respect, these seems to me very uninformed opinions (to put it extremely politely) showing an attitude of the sort “I don't know your system, but I am sure that mine is better”. A few examples: 1) “One cannot measure 200 grams without a scale” And don't...

"The SI System Doesn't Vary but Tolerances and Specs Not sure what you mean. The SI is a system of measurement units, and has nothing to do with standard or tolerances. https://www.bipm.org/en/about-us/ The ISO standards are, well, standards, and they state both the size and the tolerance to...

"metric standards vary from nation to nation" Not sure what makes you say that: metric standards are the same everywhere in the world because they are ISO standards that are accepted by each nation. An A0 paper sheet is exactly the same everywhere, because there is only one ISO standard...

"microfibers are really an environmental problem" One of the many problems with plastic in the environment, is that it is taken for food and eaten by different animals, it remains stuck in their stomach and kills them. Microplastics in the oceans kill small animals that eat it thinking it is...

"either there's a specific agenda or..." I cannot remember where I read it, but I seem to remember that the EU is "discussing" the addition of microplastic filters to washing machines. I have found only this, which is not much, but...
