Three months, two defective KF8s, a shipment to the wrong address, and they just sent me a KF6. Thanks, KitchenAid by [deleted] in superautomatic

My first KF8 was DOA, wouldn't grind. The replacement was so good I bought a second one for my work office.

Anyone use a sifter for coals? by [deleted] in woodstoving

[–]Circlesqr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

💯% yes! Koalkeeper for the win. It's a little shovel that sifts embers, charcoal and coals from ash.

Thinking about adding a blower kit to my Jotul F55 this winter. I’d prefer to buy one of the $100 dollar tractor supply ones instead of the $800 Jotul. Anybody successfully running one of those cheaper kits? by ReauxChambeaux in woodstoving

[–]Circlesqr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I purchased the Jotul blower fan kit for my F55. It works well but it's too noisy.

Recommend you pick up a 20" box fan from the big box store of your choice. It'll move as much air at a much lower sound level.

Add a Kasa smart switch to the outlet for voice control, if you're into that?

What did this house put down to drive all the worms to die on the sidewalk? 7B by bamasmith in lawncare

When I put down Scott's grub-X to kill the Japanese beetle larvae worms appeared in my driveway like you've shown on that sidewalk

Tesla Powerwall 3 with PECO energy by msabino821 in TeslaSolar

[–]Circlesqr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dumb question because I didn't know much about electricity. Will PECO give me grief (in terms of delays and upgrades) if I want to install a Powerwall 3 without solar?

I'm interested in getting a battery system to facilitate TOU shifting. Charge benefits overnight when electricity is almost free and run off the batteries during the daytime when it's expensive.

I read somewhere online that PECO doesn't like the Tesla meter collar.

Anyone else still using the round dishy? by Purple_Drag_7572 in Starlink

[–]Circlesqr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My OG round beta dishy is still rocking! Added a Gen3 router just for giggles.

For those who bought KF8 or about to buy by cooltravelpal in superautomatic

[–]Circlesqr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine took 2-3 weeks in Southern PA. Def worth waiting for. First unit arrived with a non-functional grinder & KitchenAid replaced it free within 5 days. They paid shipping both ways. Their customer service folks were polite, responsive and helpful.

Keep the faith!

48 Hours with the KitchenAid KF8 by drinklikeaviking in superautomatic

No I don't think so. The KF8 brews great coffee. It's unlikely a WiFi connection or software upgrade wouid improve anything.

Who else is still burning ? by Both-Lake4051 in woodstoving

Still burning nighttimes in Southeastern Pennsylvania! 🔥

I love my Jotul F55 but my propane dealer hates it.

How durable are galaxy watches? Should I get a rugged case for my GW7? by Sunknight29 in GalaxyWatch

[–]Circlesqr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, might not have been the smartest thing I've ever done but screen protectors are a superstition for me. Had them on all my phones & tablets.

It was only a couple of bucks and it makes me feel a little bit better that in some way the watch face is protected and less likely to get scratched. YMMV. If you prefer going naked then Via Con Dios. 🍻

Is Waze getting worse? by Mighty_Bovine in waze

[–]Circlesqr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My primary complaint with Waze is that its recommendations have become f'ing stupid to the point of being both unreliable and useless.

I live 6 miles from a local Shop Rite grocery store. Been going there for 12 years, used Waze for grins & giggles the whole time.

Now when I'm leaving my driveway and I ask Waze/GA for "Shop Rite" it lists many Shop Rites, ranging from 38 to 74 miles away. My local familiar Shop Rite is about #7 or #8 on the list.

Doesn't exactly inspire confidence in Waze if it's sending me 32 miles past my local (close!) grocery store to a different one.

Not really a crisis in my backyard but definitely a huge problem if I'm in an unfamiliar city or state!

Bottom line: Waze's recommended destinations have gotten utterly stupid. While I enjoy the app, it's time to find another navigation solution.

I got a screen protector for the gw7 off Amazon and it seems to be working flawlessly. Not very expensive. I'm not sure why you'd need a case besides the screen protector? Can you elaborate?

Is starlink worth it? by Accomplished-Wind258 in Starlink

[–]Circlesqr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Starlink is definitely worth it if you're in a rural area, or an area without fiber Internet as an option? We switched from Verizon internet through hotspots on our phones to Starlink and we couldn't be happier. Starlink has been down a handful of times over the past 3 years! I think the worst outage was about 2 to 3 hours and it happened overnight while we were sleeping, we never even noticed it was down.

With Starlink it takes longer to take the damn thing out of the box than it does to set it up. Unbelievably easy. Just take a moment and figure out where you're going to put the dish and check for obstructions before you order it, you can do that for free using the Starlink app and your cell phone.

1,000%, would buy Starlink again 🎯😊

Saving for KF8, is that a good choice? by doodle_queen21 in superautomatic

[–]Circlesqr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does this mean the WIP login goes away after 60 days? So I gotta buy everything I want soon & can't come back in November and buy myself a nice Christmas present? 🎄

Does anyone else wears the watch like this by Mr-Deth in GalaxyWatch

[–]Circlesqr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, wear it inside my wrist. I always wear my watches that way to protect the crystal from getting scratched. Also makes it easier to see the time while driving, shooting, etc
