Last time I looked I didn't see any laundry being done by a diamond ring (useless things to boot).<br /><br />In fact, as I was in a hardware store I was looking at a table saw - I've always wanted one and us Canucks are having "Black Friday" sales and it's tempting.<br />However, I'll hold off as I really don't need one, I'm more in need of the washer/dryer and kitchen appliances than tools. But, I LOVE tools! hahaha<br /><br />Good look with your new dishwasher too - What brand is it?

I also received an offer from them for 18 months free interest if I used my store card so we jumped. After many hours of reviews and budgeting reports we selected a Samsung front load HE with steam option. Now we have only had it a week but this thing is amazing. Clothes are cleaner, the spin cycle leaves them virtually dry and it so quiet you have to look through the glass door to see if it is even running. A hefty price tag but at 40% off it was $750. We will get the matching dryer once this is paid off. Then I will remodel the laundry room and put in a wash basin and build a folding counter over top of both machines with lots of shelving and storage cubbys overhead.<br />That was the wife's Christmas present. We also picked up a new dishwasher (My present) We opted for the extra protection plan for $200 so we are covered for at least 5 years now. Today the Culligan man is coming to install a water softener so we can protect our investment a little bit more. We don't have bad water but it just needs a tweak.Bushmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17578478269526006557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9889100.post-60831171445582561002014-11-07T07:47:28.937-08:002014-11-07T07:47:28.937-08:00Ha ha - the battle of the washers and dryers begin...Ha ha - the battle of the washers and dryers begins!

It's great to have a "fix-it" person on call - can you clone your hubby and send him this way!<br />I know a few folks with those front load washers and they too complain about the smell.<br />Why do companies feel they have to improve something that already does a great job. <br />I need to upgrade and now while I'm doing all my renovations I thought it would be a good time - hence all the research.

A few hours of research, a couple days of waiting for parts to be shipped in from a junkyard in Bangladesh and I get to puff out my chest at my widf as she loads clothes into a repaired washer that will be half washing clothes until the next time it breaks.<br />Or some just call it Kenmore and a Maytag.Bushmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17578478269526006557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9889100.post-26312231007073556962014-11-04T07:33:50.908-08:002014-11-04T07:33:50.908-08:00I have my mom's dryer which is about 30 years ...I have my mom's dryer which is about 30 years old and works great. I bought my washer from a 2nd hand appliance place back in 1999 that has no bells and whistles and is deep so I can do blankets etc... My hubby can fix anything and he told me no way to buy these new fangled washers because they break often and the clothes stink after a while. This is why we now see commercials for selling stuff to make the washer smell better. This NEVER happened in the olden days. My hubby told me that, especially these front end washers are not made well enough to extricate all the water. Water is sitting inside and molds and then also rusts out the inner parts. He said until they make these washers better, we will not be buying them as they are not worth it.Birgithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09439720285857050428noreply@blogger.com
