Use a Philips Norelco and tried a foil shaver way back when. For me the foil shaver caused bad razor burn, the Norelco never do. I have had a beard forever but still have to shave my neck and trim up ever so often. The ones Costco sells tend to have a extra set of blades which buys you another...

Well we have the 28102 Like Joeypete used to have and we think it still cleans and works fine today. Sister has done our comforters in it and reports it does fine in the sheets mode, and actually works and they fit better then our old 90 DD large capacity whirlpool we had since about 92. That...

Used to buy stuff from and worked at Radio Shack part time. We quickly figured out who was building their gear for them and some of it was great stuff made by Pioneer and others. Depends on who makes it for them and what prices they go on sale for. Retail price doesn't count and I'm sure...

Got a Springair back in 95 with a 20 year warranty. Slight pillow top, very comfy and true double sided. Still using it and of course they went bankrupt and some crap mattress company bought their name and still sell them. No idea if the quality is still there but they were excellent back then...

Had a similar machine for many years. The pump was bad when we got it after supposedly being rebuilt and we kept a drip pan and a sponge under it as I didn't want to tear it out of the tiny bathroom/laundry room it was in. Finally got motivated and pulled it out and removed the case. The pump...

As far as LCD tvs go that thing is tiny and old. The TV has some part that has become heat sensitive so could be about anything controlling that side of the screen. If you don't know how to troubleshoot and fix it yourself it could get expensive fast though most shops just swap parts now rather...

If you feel safe opening it up it might have a few old school fuses on the circuit boards that control the dead functions. Also my old Emerson I garage saled years ago stopped working on the microwave functions and it turned out a circuit solder joint on the board had cracked open, I resoldered...

manufactured home outlets The manufactured home I bought in 2012 only has 15 amp circuits to all of its plugs except the dedicated ones for the stove and dryer. Many of the circuits are combined too, like both bathrooms and the outside plug are on one gfi in the small bathroom I use and it it...

old mowers I buy old Snappers here myself. The old red deck ones with the high bag mount and rear drive. My last garage sale one was a late 70s pro model with the cast aluminum deck and I paid 10 bucks for it, bag, owners manual and all. The drive system is very reliable and simple and parts...

We bought the 8.8 cf Kenmore/Whirlpool to go with the earlier 28102 washer we got a year earlier after I got my first decent tax refund a year after buying this house. It has the inside filter but works great, auto dry works nice and it's huge and quiet. It also has saved us a bit on the...

Thanks for the link and video, definitely could be useful for extremely nasty or odd sized stuff. Just don't tell the wife you bought her a new washer...

I think the older now Kenmore 28102 doesn't shake the floor in the Laundry nook in our manufactured home. It's a top load direct drive but so far runs quiet and just cleans nicely. I doubt any outlet stores still have them now and the new mode!s are a bit bigger and belt drive. I think putting...

Happy with my 28102 TL Well I'm happy with the Sears Kenmore/Whirlpool washer mentioned above. Quiet, clothes come out clean and almost dry, and it saves us almost 50 bucks every 3 months on our water bill that's way overpriced. I think no matter what style you like you need to do your...

None of the Logitech keyboards have the nice mechanical key switches like the old IBM and Radio Shack key boards had. I have a mx5000 Bluetooth I've had for years, keys are a bit mushy but not as bad as some of the economy keyboards I picked up for backups. I have a newer small one with a mouse...

I think the Panasonic's have a lot of nice features and high wattage so things heat very quickly so might want to look at them. I'm still using my large, old, and cheap Emerson 800 watt 1.4 cf garage sale special. It refuses to die and it's hard to find bigger cubic foot units anymore. I keep...

Thanks Carmine, I got one if the good FHA loans before they screwed em all up to force buyers back to the mortgage companies and banks. My mortgage includes the property taxes and is locked interest rate and transferable. As soon as I hit the 20 percent pay down PMI goes away and they have to...

Well at least here in my area 2012 was the time to buy. Interest rates had tanked and market was flooded with cheap houses, most bank foreclosures that were beat down. I got a no cause eviction in June 2012 after 22 years renting the same POS small but very cheap house. Tried to buy it but owner...

heat pump water heaters Been thinking about upgrading to one from the builder grade A-O Sanford? That they put in here when they did a major but quick and dirty rehab on this house before I bought it in 2012. It's a manufactured on its own lot and has a small closet/room area where they put a...

Cool house, pretty open floor plan. Could do without the wall paper but could live with it as is too. Of course I could never afford it but a huge classy place.
