Hey guys, I've decided to do a laundry experiment and wanted to share it here... What I wanted to do is stain a shirt and then wash it with different additives and on different cycles and with different water temperatures and see what the results are. Sometimes I have trouble getting stains...

Hey guys, I don't post here often because I usually stay on the vacuum cleaner side of appliances, but I just ordered a new washer and wanted to tell you guys about it and get feedback. I have a one bedroom apartment with no hookups and for several years now, I've been getting buy with an...

Hey guys, I'm writing because I need some creative ideas for a project I'm attempting. I've been doing my laundry by hand for a few weeks now with homemade soap and a scrub board and a plunger with holes in it just because I wanted to try things the old fashioned way... it's been going well...

I am wondering if any of you have ever used a wash board and did laundry the old fashioned way? I'd been wanting to do this for a while (especially when the machines at my apartment complex are busy or broken), so today, I called a local hardware store and found that they sold a wash board. I...

Hey guys, if anyone is interested, I made a short video of my washer/dryer combo unit :o)

Hey guys.... I have about an 8 month old GE convection microwave. It's a counter top model that I got from Lowes. I've already had to replace the wave guide myself because it was arcing and burned a hole though it. Now, when I go to push the button to open the door, the door doesn't want to...

Hey everyone.... I don't have an ice maker so I'm still doing things the old fashioned way with ice trays (but I couldn't live w/o the dishwasher!), but I have a friend who is having ice maker issues and I thought I'd post here and see if any of you knew what might be going on. He has a five...

Hey guys.... I've been thinking about moving to a bigger apartment, one that would have room for a real washer and dryer. If I do, I can retire my tired and small but faithful Edgestar all in one laundry processor and get dedicated full sized laundry appliances. The only appliance store close...

Hey guys... ever since I have had my Honda Accord (2 years, it's about 11 years old now), the back lights for the a/c fan speed and mode button for the climate control have been burned out. I went to the dealer, but they wanted 120 dollars and made me wait 3 hours to tell me that so I left...

I purchased a stainless steel GE Convection Microwave (counter top model) back in October of 09. The brand wouldn't have been my first choice, but I couldn't find any other countertop convection microwave at a real store. I got it from Lowes and it was about 300 dollars. It was not some cheap 40...

Hey guys.... I don't know if this has ever been discussed here before or not, but just wondering what you all shave with. I assume at least some of you like to shave the old fashioned way since you are into vintage stuff :o) I haven't had to buy razor blades for two years because a friend who...

Hey guys... I goofed and put this in the off topics side where people who know the answer may not venture! I have a GE Nautalis portable dishwasher and it has the kind of latch that you slide from left to right to lock. I've always preferred the "space bar" type that you squeeze, but anyway...

Hey guys... I have a GE Nautalis portable dishwasher and it has the kind of latch that you slide from left to right to lock. I've always preferred the "space bar" type that you squeeze, but anyway, it's been problematic lately. When I go to open it, it kind of catches and the movement is really...

I've had my Edgestar ventless washer dryer combo for a little over two years now. I was using it this morning and the thing hums, but won't spin. I took the top and back covers off to see if I could see anything obvious, but everything looks fine from what I can tell. The belt is still attached...

Hey guys... my boyfriend's grandmother just died and boy did she have a treasure trove of old stuff in that house. The most interesting thing I think you guys would like is a Universal iron with cloth cord... looks brand new! Also has a few old cameras, one with the pull out accordion style...

My manager just got a new Iphone, and he was showing me an app that will track anyone just by typing in their cell phone number. It uses cell towers, so it shows the general area that the person is in. I think that's awful, and I certainly don't want anyone who knows my number to be able to spy...

I thought I'd ask for some advice from my friends here... you guys are pretty smart :o) I work in an office in a hotel and something happened tonight that has happened before, but lately it's been bothering me more and more each time it occurs. As I was booking a client for his timeshare...

Hi everyone. I've had my Edgestar combo unit for a couple years, but it's starting to go. The pump makes a bad noise, and now the dryer timer doesn't stop so the dryer will go for hours unless I manually stop it. I think the LG units look good and seem to be nice... I think I will like the...

2 months ago, I bought the Rowenta steam generator iron at Bed Bath and Beyond. It's ALREADY broken! The steam now stays on whether I press the trigger or not. I guess this is my opportunity to get something better, but what? I've had three Rowentas over the last few years and they always leak...

Hey guys... I put this on Vacuumland as well, but I know some of you don't attend there... just a video I made that includes my favorite appliances/collection. I showed my portable all in washer dryer in the video, but it wasn't making the weird noise it sometimes does. If it does again, I want...
