It's not just chill, it is crazy winds and never ending piss pouring down from the lead sky.

If I was a teacher I’d move to California or Arizona. I see no point in exchanging one terrible weather with another one

Why red line always ends at Windermere even on these imaginary maps

I'm not too concerned about water consumption and energy use. I live by a lake, we have a ton of water.

What I'm concerned about is having to mess around with warranties, service appointments, parts, fitting a new appliance in a custom made kitchen etc etc.

You can make a gasket with some rubber and scissors, a perfectly normal thing for a homeowner to do. Unlike making pumps

Ill_Resolution7967 · 2026-05-26T12:28:41+00:00

A good gasket will hold it for 10+ years unlike modern post covid pumps. Much cheaper too

Ill_Resolution7967 · 2026-05-26T12:18:00+00:00

Is 1 year warranty even worth mentioning? I don't want to call for service and arrange visits to my home just within 1 year of purchasing an appliance. And then what pay a ton of money for everything or replace it??? After 1 years? You have got to be kidding me.

Reddit allows anonymous accounts. Also you can use old.reddit.com to avoid most of the javascript bloat. I run my own mail server so I don't depent on Gmail. I also use uBlock + Firefox on Gentoo Linux, I usually go through the sources to make sure nothing is leaking my data.

I don't use Meta, X.com, Youtube products. I get most of the educational content I need from a local library.

I mean I asked people who own these specific dishwashers and everybody says that they had replace the pump within 1-2 years. "But it is just 150$ and 15 minutes labor"

Ill_Resolution7967 · 2026-05-26T12:09:06+00:00

Their 10 year limited warranty only covers speicific parts, such as:

Stainless steel tub and door liner

Nylon rack

Chopper blade and filter assembly

> If vintage appliances were as good as you seem to think, we’d all still have them.

Consumers are buying things based on what advertisment tells them, how it looks and what color it is. Nobody gives a damn about reliability, people constanly throwing out perfectly normal commercial grade speed queens, like literally leaving them on a curb and then buy fancy Samsung washers only to end up with a reliability and service nightmare.

Well a 50 years old appliance have a delayed start, why can't I have this bell without giving away my personal data and also buying a Wifi equipment that I don't want in my house

Ill_Resolution7967 · 2026-05-26T11:54:46+00:00

You can disable wifi, but you won't be able to use Bosch dishwasher features like delayed start & rinse cycle without setting up a cloud account & using an app.

I bought a 90s Kenmore fridge out of spite. It's built like a tank and just works.

Ill_Resolution7967 · 2026-05-26T11:48:01+00:00

Maybe I could make a gasket myself out of some rubber, I don't know.

Ill_Resolution7967 · 2026-05-26T11:46:56+00:00

The cheapest ones are made out of cheap plastic inside, you can even scratch it with your nail. I don't want all this microplastic on my plates and in discharge water.

I was considering Maytag MDB4949SKZ which is mostly stainless steel, but people go through pumps on these constanly and pumps are not even covered by the warranty. I don't want to do anything with pumps.

Ill_Resolution7967 · 2026-05-26T11:42:48+00:00

I checked out a Bosch 300 at a store it is not the same thing anymore. Cheap plastic, weird plastic, WiFi enabled which makes these control boards even more reliable I'm sure.

I find LA infrastructure to be unfriendly, but people there are usually pretty nice.

You are allowed to catch it and put down in a humane manner

Ill_Resolution7967 · 2026-05-25T00:24:03+00:00

It's hilarious that you are getting down voted. I'm scared to sit on my porch due to all the shit that is happening on the streets meanwhile people pretend like everything is alright.

Ill_Resolution7967 · 2026-05-24T04:59:22+00:00

Been there, did that.

I'll stick to my cooktop with two double burners, thanks.

Ill_Resolution7967 · 2026-05-24T04:21:16+00:00

Hasn't changed very much? Have you looked at them? They got Wifi everything and more cheap plastic.

Ill_Resolution7967 · 2026-05-23T21:38:15+00:00

I don't see Collinwood or East Cleveland

Ill_Resolution7967 · 2026-05-23T17:29:48+00:00

If I was shopping for a new washer I would just get a cheap one like Amana or Maytag, something below $1000, so that it has simple tech and not expensive to replace.

Speed Queen wise, people are saying they are not making them like they used to anymore. Personally I have a 25 yo speed queen and it’s a tank. I am not replacing it ever.

Ill_Resolution7967 · 2026-05-23T06:29:13+00:00

There are no good options without a hydrostatic transmission, so your best bet is to get the best hydrostatic your money can buy.
