Regular black rubber hoses purchased from <span style="font-size: 14pt;">an actual appliance parts house</span> will last a very long time.

Frigidaire isn't the only brand of refrigerator that explodes.  There have been quite a few exploding refrigerators from all different brands in the news these last few years.

I only drive about 4500 miles a year so a conversion would make no sense.  Besides that, my engine doesn't stink, leak, or smoke.

My gas powered lawn mower is 33 years old and always starts on the first pull.  If it were electric, I wonder how many batteries it would have gone through over 33 years.   That said, I do have a battery powered trimmer, hedge clipper, and chain saw, and I think they're wonderful.  They are...

Unless you live where droughts are common, I don't see a problem with using water.  Here in northern New Jersey, water actually falls from the sky on a regular basis.

Revereware's less expensive line without copper bottoms is very thin and can be difficult to control.

I'd brush those jeans off a bit first, then my trusty Maytag A606 would make quick work of having them clean and well extracted in a mere 28 minutes.

In my view, whirlpool basically made the same machine from the late 1940s to circa 1986.  They were good machines, but I wouldn't associate them with "advanced technology".    By all means Whirlpool deserves credit for the dual-action agiatator, but let's not foget that Maytag was first with...

I find the Maytag center dial styling to be timeless, and it certainly holds up better today than many other designs, for example, machines with vinyl fake wood grain treatments.  Also note that chrome has made a comeback on new cars.

I believe that most brands 1966 and older had a rear pump and can be push started.  GM, Chrysler, Ford, and Borg Warner (used by Rambler and Studebaker).

Because I have a hood over my gas range with a powerful exhaust fan vented to outside I'm not worried, but with this in the news I have been more diligent about using the fan.   I'm sure there are many apartment buildings out there with gas ranges and no exhaust fan.

Kitchen Gagdet Here's my Foley Easy Twist jar opener.  It opens any stuck jar lid with ease.    

I don't see anyone being anti-electric, just pointing out that it's really no safer than gas.

According to a 2020 report by the National Fire Protection Association, households with electric stoves reported fires at a rate 2.6 times higher than those with gas stoves.
