Very high power and water consumption, rough washing, costs a lot. Sounds like a shitty washer to me.

My favorite water bottle is Frank Greene. It’s stainless steel but ceramic coated on the inside

i dont need an elite controller cause mine works just fine lol

brain dead would be you down below saying the elite controllers breaking was a pretty common experience yet some how that didnt stop you from buying another one after the first one broke

and another one after that one broke (:

ThermoWorks makes great stuff…only had to have some probes replaced once or twice, everything has been super solid.

This doesn’t seem absurd to me at all. Keep your bedding clean, people! I can easily do bedding 8 times per week between all the comforters, blankets, and sheets! That’s not even taking any other laundry into account. Household of 4. So yeah, I’m right here with you!

I would say so - I had a Sigg bottle for years and can’t recall any bad tastes. You should be able to find them, it’s a Swiss brand and you can likely order from their website.

I’m betting the protein is making the taste shift. If I put anything else besides water in mine, it’s a few weeks until it’s back to baseline. Try a dedicated water only bottle.

We had I think it was a whirlpool from the early 90s that was going strong up until a year ago. Bought a new washer and hate it. It has water level sensing that makes it take forever to do a load of laundry. Everything in the store within my budget had this feature and I wasn’t familiar with it so I figured what the hell. Worst purchasing decision ever.

I was in a thread the other day in another sub, and someone said this:

> It's like speed queen. Went to shit when the gov't forced them to make a series with a more complex board for various reasons.

When I asked "Huh? I thought they were good", he then responded:

> If you can find one that has the original, basic wiring and board, they'll last. There's a youtuber called the maytag guy and he's good at laying out these things. I forget the video where he talks about what happened to speed queen.

I was unable to find the "Maytag Guy" YouTuber, so can someone tell me what the hell I'm supposed to believe? Are Speed Queen still good, or have they gone to shit?

I've got a similar pair, hatch kevlar lined frisk gloves. Good stuff. Mine are only about 10-15 years old though. They see a decent amount of use, they are either being worn or in my jacket pocket, everywhere I go. still going strong, no signs of letting go yet.

I’m with you - I don’t get the fetish around here. Sure they’ll last forever but you’ll use way more water and power and need to replace your clothing more often. Give me a high quality modern front loader from a manufacturer like Miele any day.

We've got 1 teen and 3 adults and 1 dog. Even when mom's not around, I have to wash just as much with my shitty washer. I'm hoping that I can do bigger loads that actually get clean when I get my Speed Queen. If I guess the load size wrong, I sometimes have to rewash again because it all smells like the worst item that was in the bunch!

This is a Reddit thing not an American thing. Front loaders are pretty much the standard in America too but Reddit fetishizes Speed Queen despite them being inefficient, loud and rough on clothes. I think they make the wrong compromises and I’m not a fan. Give this American a Miele over a Speed Queen any day.

Blender Bottle?

"What arent you washing?"

Fair. I admit, bath mats, sheets, and dog stuff are not washed every week. I don't wear any nice clothes for them to need washing 😔 Perhaps for the other categories, I will do so when I finally get my TR3 (waiting on it to restock locally). Current GE washer is a little busted and also isn't guaranteed to get my dog's stuff actually clean. She's a chihuahua. She has little beds. You'd think the small stuff would be easy to wash when it's literally just 1-2 things at a time, but it's not 😩

Honestly just used a "shaker" which is a stainless steel one that I drink my protein with. Smells like stainless steel and tastes like one although it's marked as "non-bad-smell retainer".

Will the quality improve if I buy a specifically made bottle for beverages?

I second titanium. A nice one will be expensive, but you will no longer worry about breakage. Easy to clean and a lot lighter than glass.

Hahahhaha nee niet zo toch slootwater

I didn't downvote you, but these 'new' frontloaders have been standard where I'm from since before I was born, and in my experience work just fine, however these top loaders seem extremely big maybe you can't build a frontloader as big as a top loader without it going to shit.

Samsung isn't the average, Samsung is the short end of longevity.

sorry, but that is smallish? How many pounds can you fit in there?

Someone just gave away an old but working one free in my local buy nothing group.

It was over $500 in 1994. We had to make weekly payments on it. 4 dryers later it is still going. Funny thing about the 4 dryers is that we hang dry our clothes 90% of the time. So the dryers are really only for sheets and towels.
