I have a rotary line and while it definitely won't last me for life, it will extend the life of my dryer.

When my dryer stopped heating last year, I ordered a $20 set of commonly expiring replacement parts from Amazon, and probably swapped them all out, or at least a few of them even though only one of them fixed the problem. Can't really remember.

I'm not going to recommend the dryer, it was chosen by my ex and I'm sure it will need new parts every few years because it's all buttons and beeps.

I've had front loaders and I don't care for them. I never molded the washer but I was careful to always prop it open. Still, a top loader is more versatile. In terms of longevity of textiles, sometimes soaking in very hot sodium hydrosulfite soda ash solution can suddenly be the thing that removes a stubborn stain from a synthetic sweater without removing its color, or removing color & stains from a cotton quilt leaving it a lovely different color entirely with no stains at all.

The fewer computer-ish things, the less there is to break.

Look at older ones specifically, not the new kind.

looks beautiful and i bet it makes music sound great first thing in the morning

Obvious bot, page is full of bullshit

No clue, I suppose it’s not a lodge cast iron pan or something handed down from their grandparents.

I just felt it was worth posting because of their guarantee (and repairs).

I don’t go for manicures or pedicures, so this clipper eliminates the need for a nail file for me as well.

Idk how a post praising the company for standing by their guarantee became one about how everyone else only paid 5 bucks for theirs and apparently I’m showing off.

I’m leaving the post up because these are damn good clippers, despite the downvotes.

Yup. I have 2 of these, and frankly I wear them as regular clothes as well as base layers. Love them.

Lol if that’s your takeaway maybe you should talk to a professional.

Yeah, I fear that a single pod of detergent is still too much for the ~3 gallons of water used by a front loader during the wash cycle.

Repair guy said a good test for over-soaping is to take clean towels and run them thru a rinse cycle, with no detergent. Soap bubbles in the rinse means you have soap left over in your towels and need to reduce the amount of detergent you are using. Yeah, I failed that test! ;)

Mine also go from dim to full.

I'm also disappointed with how bright the dimmest setting is.

We seem to have found the problem.

The sub is meant to show off items that have demonstrated the ability to survive for decades, while the audience only cares about things that are available for purchase today.

The intersection on that Venn diagram is extremely small.

Well, mods, guess it's time to shut 'er down.

This is gorgeous! I would hope I could find one!

Change the dealer mate ...

We've had both front load and top load and we much prefer the top load. When we moved into our current home, there was no washer and dryer, so we had to buy a set. We opted to go with a top loader without an agitator this time. We couldn't be happier with it. We can wash any size load - from a few things (which we don't do very often because we don't want to waste water) to huge comforters and quilts. Ours has a pull out drawer to pour your detergent into or drop in a detergent pack. It also has a drawer to pour softener into (a lot of these machines without agitators don't include a softener dispenser so you have to use something like a Downy ball). The key to getting clothes cleaner in one of these types of machines is to ball your clothes up as you put them in. Don't just layer your clothes. Balling them up creates the agitation that you're missing. ;)

With a front loader, we always had that funky smell... we even left the door open when not in use so the gasket could dry out. Also, since we have cats, we always had to clean out that big door gasket because it would collect a big wad of nasty wet hair and goop. The detergent drawer ALWAYS got moldy too. How does a machine that is constantly dirty and moldy get clothes clean? Ewwwww!!!!

As for dryers... the ones that matched the front load washers that we had (two different models and brands) didn't seem to dry very well either. No matter what time and/or temperature we set them to, the clothes were ALWAYS damp and had to be restarted. The ones that have matched all of the top load washers we've had over the years have always done well. We always liked having a pull down door to drop clothes onto from the washer or pull clothes out of the dryer onto because it was handy and the openings were bigger, but space didn't allow that with our current set.

My advice is to go to a good appliance store and talk to the salespeople... and have a good idea of what features are important to you in your machines. They'll be able to tell you good and bad things about all of them. Like the set we have now... the salesman let us know that it doesn't stay locked during the entire cycle like a lot of models do, so tossing something in late is a little quicker and easier. And, the last set we had (it was a stacked unit in a closet) didn't show how long was left in the cycle and didn't have a chime to let us know it was done, which always bothered us, so the salesman showed us models that included those options.

Is this an ad for amazon?

Doubles as a weapon in case of intruder. Looks to weight a tonne.

These broke on me in a day

You should check the filter and exhaust vent on your dryer to make sure it's not clogged.

When we were looking at buying a stacked washer and dryer set a few years ago, the salesman at one of the stores we went to told us that most people use too much detergent in front loaders and that is what actually leads to the smells and mold that most people experience. The detergent manufacturers want you to buy MORE detergent, so they don't really tell you that all you really need is the amount to fill a shot glass to get your clothes clean. Maybe give that a try and see how your clothes and washer do. ;)

I got my Fiskars, im good.

So he can get his affiliation link money

I feel similarly about my 2003 Filson 258.

For me, items like this get priced against what they are replacing. I'm not saying this is 100% accurate, but if a $80 set of clippers eliminates a lifetime of $20 manicures or pedicures then it's a great deal. Or maybe it doubles the time between those visits.

If hangnails etc were a big problem for you, and they aren't anymore, then I don't get why people are all weird about you getting a nice set of clippers.

And why do you HAVE to buy it only from Amazon?

Too many moving parts for a simple tool, coil, cheap plastic, not forged... Wrong sub
