    Hoover Portable Vac

    This vac came in many different colours. And there was a version without the cord rewind as well as a version that had large diameter rear wheels which made it much easier for pulling around on deeper pile carpeting.

    Old cars vs New cars

    Greg, I have not had any more issues with the MKC since my last round of problems in March/April. I do love the styling, comfort, conveniences and ride. I can drive for 10 hours and not have an aching lower back or thighs. I will have to bring it in shortly to have my last free oil change...

    Generac Standby Generator

    The Generac I have now, has been installed for 10 years and until this last episode...ran fine without any issues. We get power outages frequently. We had one for almost 24 hours starting on the afternoon of Dec. 24. The electricity did not come back on until noon on the 25th. My house was...

    Old cars vs New cars

    The dimmer switch on the turn signal stalk is so easy to use and within easy reach but with auto headlight dimming, I never have to manually dim the lights anyway :-) Gary

    Generac Standby Generator

    *Update* The generator guy has been no help whatsoever....even so far as to not return my phone call which I made to him about 2 minutes after receiving an email from him yesterday morning. I called another dealer to get an estimate of the cost to replace the alternator and I have not heard...

    Generac Standby Generator

    Before the service guy came out to look at the generator, I had an electrician out. He checked and tested the transfer switch and said that everything was OK. He was the one that diagnosed that there was no electricity coming into the transfer switch. He also checked the generator and thought...

    Generac Standby Generator

    The Generac is model # 0052431. I have little mechanical/electrical skills so I don't plan on repairing the unit myself but I would like to be educated on what has to be done. From the research I have done, the alternator seems to be in the $300-500 range. I don't understand how labour could...

    Wow. Kirby and Flair

    I have a Diamond G Ultimate Edition with the 2 speeds. It cleans and grooms the carpet well. I am not really a fan of uprights however as it is a pain to go back and forth from floor to above the floor cleaning and with Kirby's hose switchover process it makes it even more cumbersome. I only...

    Generac Standby Generator

    Anyone have a whole house standby generator or knowledge of them? I have a Generac 16 KW that was installed in 2007. It has worked flawlessly until 2 weeks ago when the electricity went out. The generator started automatically as it should however there still was no electricity. I called the...

    Samsung LCD TV

    Samsung and LG seem to be what all the stores are pushing right now. I asked about Sony and was told it is down on the priority list. Why would you not buy LG?

    Samsung LCD TV

    I've been checking out the TVs in the stores and on-line and am getting different stories regarding 4k versus 1080p. I do not have netflix nor do I watch a lot of movies (don't even own a Blueray player...just a DVD player). I mainly watch regular TV shows broadcast on satellite TV. In this...

    Samsung LCD TV

    I ran the self diagnostics on the TV and it told me to call a repair centre :-) I did that this morning to get some idea of what a repair might cost and basically they told me that it would be better to just buy a new TV. So now I have to figure out what kind of TV to buy which is mind boggling...

    Samsung LCD TV

    I have a 40" LCD TV, purchased in 2009. The picture was perfect this morning but this afternoon I turned on the TV and there is a very thin, red, vertical line in the centre of the screen running the full height of the display. Does this mean the TV is about to crash and burn? Can LCD TVs be...

    Crazy New Discover Card

    In April I drove to Kansas City, MO. The car was running low on fuel so I stopped at the first gas station (don't remember the name) I came across in MI. I inserted my credit card with chip into the fuel pump and it would not recognize the card. I went inside the small store and the clerk...

    Both our debit cards and credit cards have chips in them but also require a 4 digit pin number to be used.

    I remember this like it was yesterday...Ms. Fitzgerald's (the substitute teacher) Whirlpool washer

    Whenever my parents would take me to their friend's homes, I would also try to find out what kind of vacuum cleaner they owned. I remember one time my mom and her friend were having coffee in the kitchen and I went wandering. I found her Rainbow D in the hallway. I undid one of the latches...
