    Maytag washer woes.

    I also have older Maytag washer and dryer They are from early 90's. Just had to replace the belt on the dryer. I plan on keeping these machines as long as possible. They are so much better than the crap that is out there today.

    Kirby Complete Model Change or Just Another Color Change?

    Vacuums That Sold Poorly & Died An Early Death

    Kirby Ultimate G and Diamond Edition I have to respectfully disagree with a comment made about the Ultimate G Diamond Edition. The Ultimate G was released in 2002, and the Diamond Edition was released in 2003. The DE ran until 2006, when it was replaced by the Sentria. I do agree that the DE...

    Digital Pressure Cookers

    That was a problem with the first generation cast iron pressure cookers. Cast iron is very brittle, and with age comes metal fatigue. Micro fractures form, and eventually, the pot fails under pressure. Another problem with them is the lid doesn't lock on while the pot is under pressure...
