while we're on the subject of minisplit condenser fans I'm an HVAC tech - I can't believe how flimsy the condenser fans are on minisplits. They're not much different than the plastic fan blades in cheap, disposable fans. And being subjected to UV, heat and extreme cold certainly doesn't do any...

I use Extra Hot/Heavy/2x rinse on everything I think the added energy usage is negligible with this combo, since it's a front load. I prioritize deep cleaning and sanitizing over saving maybe two or four bucks in the course of a month. My washer (LG WM3900, recently replaced a 6yo LG-made...

I like that laundry room If I bought that house, the laundry room would probably be the only thing I wouldn't change.

Good eye ...but I think the average person wouldn't have ever noticed. I do wonder how many people actually mixed up washers and dryers. Domestic front load pairs look identical and the popular thing to do these days is to add tinted portholes to both, which obscures what's going on inside. At...

Quick way to tell if it's made by Galanz Look at the "indentations" on the top left and right of the opening into the oven cavity. If it has these, it's made by Galanz, no matter the make, model, size, color, power, etc. I'm not sure about the stainless (probably fake?)but their painted...

I've been through probably 10 microwaves since I moved out on my on for college. If they don't fail (loud sparking sound with scorch smell, probably bad transformer), they rust. I've learned that Galanz makes most of the countertop microwaves in the world. From Hamilton Beach to GE to Magic...

I'm surprised Whirlpool didn't just buy all of Hobar They never really had a commercial presence, and with a Hobart acquisition, they would have.

I don't like storage drawers, warming drawers, etc. It's too close to the floor and collects dust. Definitely not to food code where everything has to be at least a foot off the floor in a commercial setting. Plus the paint on the actual drawer box is super thin and easily rusts. It might be...

I actually loathe jeans I have yet to find a comfortable pair of jeans. I actually own maybe three pairs, I've donated the rest and haven't bothered to buy any new ones. If I'm not at work where I wear Dickies pants/shorts, I'm wearing Adidas track pants or shorts, which are awesomely comfortable.

My wife and I wash our sheets once a week MAX in an LG front load. Heavy Duty, extra hot (gets up to 160 deg F), 2 rinses, Persil with bleach added 1hr into the cycle. Comforter is patterned but can take the rigors of the wash cycle and hasn't been damaged. The rest of our bedding is white...

Tried resetting the control board by unplugging for 15 min. No luck. Thought I'd take the rotor and stator off to examine it for issues...well, the stator had a burnt winding. Interesting enough, the bottom quarter of the stator core was noticeably rusty, and the winding that blew looked like it...

That fridge isnt from the 60s It's from the very late 70s to mid 80s. Hobart bought Koch in the 60s and by the early 1980s (1981 I believe, when Hobart was purchased by Dart & Kraft, but could be wrong), completely ended the Koch line and design. Before then, Hobart transitioned to their own...

Whirlpool VMW/many other HE TLs sound like $10 food choppers I also don't like the pulsating fill of my LG-made Kenmore FL. On-off-on-off-on-off in rapid succession. Why not just fill once & be done with it? I had to buy hammer arrestors within the first week of owning this washer. I also.don't...

My Kenmore washer, made by LG, squeaks the last few seconds when coasting from a spin. It usually does it when using Heavy Duty (high spin speed) but doesn't usually do it if I do bulky/bedding (mid spin speed). I don't use any other cycle. If I use steam it will happen on the subsequent cycle...

If you think about it, your dirty laundry touches the gasket as you load it, as you unload, your clean clothes does the same. I have been wiping my gasket whenever I wash "contaminated" laundry like work clothes. Is this going too far? I always think of hotels, hospitals, etc keeping the door...

I wash my jeans, or anything else for that matter, after one wear. Doesn't matter if I have the day off and hypothetically never leave the house the entire day (which is very rare). Wife does as well. I couldn't imagine wearing something several times before washing it, or never washing it, or...

Fabric softener Fabric softener has never touched my machine or my laundry, lol...I do know that FS does help with suds, but I just don't like the idea of a waxy, fatty substance coating my laundry or machine.

Persil liquid will suds up like crazy when washing my relatively clean/almost spotless "lounge around the house/run errands on my day off clothes" like my Addidas track pants, khaki shorts and T-shirts, yet my somewhat dirty to really grimy work clothes, depending on the day (Dickies work pants...

I always thought that health departments routinely checked wash temperature and/or whether an establishment was using bleach or other sanitizer. And what's with hotels using residential washers or commercial TLs to wash linens, as a few on here have mentioned? How is that even possible, just...
