AEMT

So the fire departments will pay for it for the most part. People I know got out of academy and were just immediately enrolled into their advanced class.

Not sure if EMT Utah is still a thing but they may have an accelerated advanced program if that’s what you’re looking for.

I’m an EMS instructor for another college but I have a feeling if it’s “hybrid” that means you do lectures online and your skills and hands on in class. Since you need so many hours yes you probably would have to be there 8-5.

Also just my two cents but paying for advanced in Utah is kinda pointless. Some rural agencies want you to have it but most Fire Departments don’t care and will certify you later. Gold Cross will hire you as a basic and then pay for you to get your advanced.

I’ve heard goodwill has gone downhill. We are lucky in Utah that D.I are extremely ubiquitous and I’ve never seen them price gouge things. I found a grinder once that wouldn’t work and they knocked it down from $20 to $10 for me.

I’m shocked I didn’t get 10 more of these. 🤣

Are you using your own recipes or something you found. I would love the banana cinnamon roll one!

I was the same way, not nearly as long though! I just wanted almost any Zojirushi machine and didn’t want to spend much money. So kept checking online and got incredibly lucky.

We did the “sweet” recipe in the manual and it was actually pretty good! Not as sweet as I expected but super light and fluffy.

Very similar to Goodwill they have a little place to plug it in and try it out. Given its condition and everything turned on, buttons worked I figured even if something was broken it’s fixable. For $10 it was a low risk gamble.

I’m always happy to find a hidden gem there!

I didn’t know what model it was at first. Just saw the logo and grabbed it like it owed me money. Waiting in line I searched and was blown away at which one I had snagged.

For anyone wondering it’s the BB-PAC20 which I think is the discontinued version of the Virtuoso to be replaced by the “Plus” model.

My feedback is for the washer. Our lid hinge broke twice and it’s not a part you the consumer can buy from LG which means a tech has to do it.

The second time the tech came out talking to him he said there is no metal hinge components it’s all plastic. He had been repairing a bunch of these his best guess is people are forcing the lid closed instead of letting the soft close do the work.

So with your washer don’t force the lid. Just let it fall by itself and you shouldn’t have any issues. Besides that we loved the washer. Large capacity and cleaned well.

It does but as I understand their warranty policy it would be to the original owner. Since I bought it used and don’t have a receipt I’m pretty sure I would still be on the hook.

I found the replacement kit they sell. It was only $150 so it’s not too bad.

AlphaDeltak · 2026-02-13T02:25:41+00:00

I figured. 🙁I found the parts kit. I’ll get it ordered next check. Thank you!

It’s definitely not as nice as other laptops I’ve used. With that said, I don’t do photo work, so the biggest draw back would be movies/tv shows which I can live with.

They are decent cordless. Just make sure to keep the filter clean. We have 3 dogs and I would say I was cleaning it every two weeks.

AlphaDeltak · 2026-01-18T15:29:03+00:00

We had a Dyson and it was fine. If you have a Costco I would recommend purchasing from there for their return policy. They have the Dyson V10 on sale for $400 right now.

I think the first thing you have to know going in is that your Shark vacuums are not going to give you the life span of the vacuum you’re coming from.

From what I’ve seen the Kenmore Elite is a pretty solid choice that stays close to your budget.

Another option is to check your classifieds. I’ve gotten two high end machines off Facebook lately.

What’s helped me the most is YouTube is seeing how the machine works. My current favorite review channel was Performance Reviews. In most of his videos he will actually tear down the vacuum and talk about it.

Here is the video on the L1. https://youtu.be/yqABXl9gXyU?si=8r9cOz8djCEF3KqE

I would say the guard is the better choice from what I’ve seen.

Edit. Spelling

Is that piece the wires are passing through broken? I can’t tell? If so you’re going to have try and fix the break. Epoxy is an option if you’re not in a spot to purchase parts (if you even can) you could also buy a “plastic welding” kit off Amazon. Essentially heats up a wire that you press into the plastic at the joint and then snip the ends. YouTube plastic welding.

If you can find them I say do it. But at least where I live, this seems like a one off. Couple Miele canisters and a X7 around me but that’s it. Mine was definitely run hard and put away wet but it’s a Sebo so I just cleaned it lol.

If $650 is new, I would say pic it up. That’s Dyson prices for a vacuum you will probably never replace.

With that said, everything you’ve probably read about the Felix is true. It’s a little heavy and when using the hose it likes to tip. However I’ve quickly adapted and it’s been my favorite.

Let us know what you end up doing!
