So if it’s pulling heat from my house, doesn’t my furnace need to work harder?

Our washer and dryer are in the coolest part of the house, the basement. How does that work?

[[Manufacturers are pushing for a change. ]]

Why? Do they cost more and also break down often requiring buying new ones more often?

Next they will tell us that there is no need for dryers because global warming will handle all of the drying for us.

My mother used a rope and clothespins in my youth.

Why don’t these do-gooders just leave sh!t alone?

When we bought our home in July, the prior owners left their washer and dryer. WOW! We were so lucky! They were outrageously expensive according to the Internet. At least that’s what we thought. Ultra high-end, both less than a year old.

Then we realized why. The top load washer had no agitator. It resulted in grungy clothes. The water in the tub didn’t even cover the clothes. You could fill buckets with water and pour it in if you were so silly as to want to wash your clothes with .... water.

BUUT.. it was “energy efficient”! Like we going to sacrifice clean clothes just to say we’re energy efficient. Oh. And it connected to the Internet. WTF?

The dryer also was horrible. But energy efficient.

Luckily, we hadn’t gotten rid of our old Kenmore set, so we brought that in and GAVE away the newfangled set to the handyman.

I am sick of these people.

The type mom used decades ago still works. A cord between two trees and closepins. Unless it is raining.

My 2-year-old hybrid water heater is a total waste of money.

Fair warning.

We still have our 32 year old Whirlpool appliances, when they didn’t make junk. Current appliances last about 5 years now. No plans for new ones. Parts are still available.

What brings you to the US?

To seek asylum. The USA is run by lunatics so the asylum should be first rate. I came from halfway around the world mainly by CO2 belching airplane.

Why didn’t you apply for asylum in the country next door?

In the USA you get expensive motel rooms and debit cards.

When a new standard goes into effect, manufacturers and their engineering teams have an incentive to develop a higher level of efficiency because there will be a market demand for it, according to deLaski.

Hurrrrr-durrrrrrr, uh, no, a market is not guaranteed. EVs have all sorts of subsidies and mandates, and yet the market is still weak, so much so that car makers are starting to turn away from manufacturing them.

Soon we will by out by the riverbeds of polluted water scrubbing our dirty clothes on rocks and drying them on what is left of our trees.

The elites will still have washers, dryers, gas stoves, and the finer things.

This is like those little pet rug cleaners. I have an older model on that actually has a heating element that heats the cleaning water. Also bought one for my daughter but this one weasel worded the ‘heating’ function description. But all it turned out to be was that it directed the motor heat over the water storage unit. No heating element. Barely warm water at best.
