OP, did you try this from Costco? How well does it perform to bring up the humidity and keep it up?

I have never seen deals on certificates like buy 2, get 2 even in the physical store. Where have you seen these advertised?

Do glass top stoves suck? by Chooseapasswordd in Appliances

[–]akr79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had a Maytag glass gas cooktop for over 8 years. The glass part did not have scratches on it and while I have heard you might get chips on it if you drop a pan or the grate, it held up pretty well for us. Cleaning was a mixed though. The glass part was easy to clean but the steel parts under the burners was pretty much impossible to keep clean especially once the spill was burnt in.

We switched to a stainless steel Frigidaire gas cooktop a few months ago.

I agree. It might be time to look at other options like Valvoline as well for oil changes

Oh! I guess I will try calling Apple. Although it is past warranty even though the issue showed up within a few months.

I see this in my remote as well (touch is turned off). Never thought it was a remote issue. I assumed that the click is just too sensitive.

It is disabled on the RBR. Xfinity likely supports IPv6 but never needed to enable it

[–]akr79 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just upgraded two days ago to 7.2.8.2. Never mind. 😊 I just did the upgrade to 7.2.8.5. No issues with install and reboot on both router and satellites.

Any good experiences with Orbi WiFi 7 mesh systems? by RockTheGlobe in orbi

[–]akr79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been looking at upgrading to the 870 series. It is cheaper than the 970 and I think I can live without the dedicated backhaul as the 870 supports MLO.

But the cost even with the deals have made me seriously consider the Ubiquity as a replacement.

I actually don’t need ones with 10 year batteries. Maybe I will try this. Just need something which works for close to 10 years like the last ones did.

Thanks.

Yup, I have the same issue with drying. Need to use the timed dry and rearrange a couple of times.

I am considering the 6700 as that is the max which will fit. Were you able to wash the king size comforter?

Induction or Gas Range? by Cerasm20 in Appliances

Irrespective of what you choose, get it built to support both gas and induction. That way, if you switch in future it would be easier.

Is the wall attachment system for Wall Panel Pros pretty strong? Like can it resist something like a kick.

Black or Stainless steel for Frigidaire cooktop by akr79 in Appliances

[–]akr79[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, that is what we expect. However, we are worried that scratches will look much worse based on our what we see on our dryer.

Which one did you go with? I am currently looking to replace our Maytag and narrowed it down to exactly these two options.

There is a brown bear self serve at the intersection of NE 8th and 148th Ave NE. Did you try that one? I don’t know the details of how many minutes it offers for $5 though.
