We can start with HE appliances. We need appliances that use enough power to do the job! I haven’t had a good appliance in 25 years. (We’ve been thru 4 dishwashers, 3 stoves, and 3 washing machines and they all need to be replaced already)
If appliances and other things were made to last to begin with think of the resources and energy that could be saved. That's why it's hard to take the global warming narrative seriously.
Very true. I don’t mind fixing things. But when it falls apart and never worked well to begin with I have to replace it. I remember using consumer reports until they got paid to promote bad products.
Same.
Most of these can be fixed rather easily. In 15 years I’ve fixed my refrigerator, dishwasher(x2), washing machine(x3), dryer(x10 seriously), microwave. I eventually replaced the dryer. And I just replaced the microwave two weeks ago. But in total, I’ve spent around $100-$125 fixing all these over 15 yrs. Many people have the same problems and so it’s easy to find the fix on YouTube and such, and many other times it just required a break down and cleaning, reassemble. But buying a new one only delays the inevitable, imo. Just my 10 cents.
Oh trust me, we’ve been shlepping a lot of appliances along. Replacing parts, duct tape, bale twine etc. but the fact of the matter is the dishwasher and washing machine have not resulted in clean clothes or dishes because they do not have enough electricity- From the day I purchased them. You are essentially concurring that the HE machines suck. What exactly are defending? You think I have extra cash to buy new appliances? I certainly don’t want to because the new ones suck worse than the ones I have and those are on their last legs. And you reminded me that I didn’t include my refrigerator. The plastic shelves on the door crack about once a month- I keep spares on hand. The lining inside is cracking. These appliances are not made to last they are designed to be disposable. Eventually you can’t fix them and when they weren’t great from day 1 I’m not as motivated to keep fixing it. Plus, why do that to the wife? Why would you keep fixing something that makes her miserable? So again, I want an appliance that doesn’t conform to arbitrary EPA standards by unelected bureaucrats.
No I agree with you. I honestly don’t know how people get along nowadays without fixing their appliances. The baler wire was a LoL. Used the same thing to fix my refrigerator. The heater wire broke. It’s like a condensation area that uses a basic wire, that’s hangs off another”hot wire” to heat like a few degrees so that it doesn’t freeze the whole inside. The repair man and cost would be ridiculous. A YouTube video, 2 hours later, and a 6 inch baler wire, fixed. But yea I agree, stuff isn’t made like it used to be. I mean I have found some brands that use metal parts still. Like Speed Queen’s washing machine. Built old style but cost like $1200 for a top loader. I’ve decided I buy the cheapest cost models now, and just fix them. Which seem to be Whirlpool brand.
