I thought it had something to do with smoking. Like the butt of your smoke

This is actually solid advice. There is a brand of sparkly water that comes with the same ceramic and rubber style lid, but it's a 1 liter bottle.i normally use them for BBQ sauce, but have one set aside for water from the soda stream so it doesn't go flat.

Good thing running back wasn’t the answer

I carry rauch juice bottle all over / in the car / for the gym / on home desk .

I once broke it by the pool - slippery, fortunately no splinters went in the actual pool .

Never carry it to the swimming pool again !

I’ve had really good luck with the 8bitdo ultimate. I don’t think any controller is true Bifl tho

I've had a klean kanteen stainless steel bottle for many years and have never had a smell or taste. Water should not be leaving any smells or tastes unless the bottle is really neglected.

I LOVE their product design

$150 is the minimum charge for a plumber to get in his truck and drive to your house. His time costs money same as yours.

I’ve been using their stuff for 15 years at least without a single issue, sorry you’ve had a bad experience but it’s all been super reliable for me.

Yes I think that might be what’s causing the off taste.

As an American in Europe, I know the answer. First, washing machines in Europe are often under things (dryers, counters), so front loaders save space because things can go on top. In America, most washers and dryers are side by side. Next, while front loaders have gained popularity in the US in the past few years, many people realized there's a reason top loaders were so popular for so long. While front loaders are more water effeciecient (important in Europe), they are not time effecient (very important to Americans who often have one designated day to do all of the household laundry per week). A typical top loader load is between 20-45 minutes. A front loader is almost never less than an hour. This is because front loaders use more water and can get clothes the same amount of clean in less time. Top loaders are also gentler on clothes. A front loader literally tosses clothes around for over an hour. A top loader gentle swirls them around. Over time, a front loader will wear out clothes faster. I've had things "eaten" by my many front loaders, but never in top loaders. Hand wash cycles on top loaders are pretty much as gentle as literally washing something with your hands. All in all, front loaders suit the needs of Europeans, and top loaders fit the needs of most Americans.

I currently have a front loader Miele that's over 20 years old here in Moldova and I love it, but it takes FOREVER. In America, we grew up with a Maytag that was also awesome and cleaned a load in 30 minutes. Neither are bad machines, it just depends on your needs.

Adding to this, “open box” items are also sometimes referred to as “scratch and dent.” For example, Best Buy (in-stores and website) has items labeled as “Open box” in “X” condition (eg: Open Box - like new condition). The terms may vary slightly but I think it’s worth looking into.

Anecdotally, I bought an open-box iPad towards the beginning of college. The price new was about $1250 (pre-tax) and the open box was listed for around $1100. After negotiating with a manager (Bestbuy managers can negotiate on open-box prices, at their discretion), they sold it to me for $997 (after-tax). The catch? The box was missing a thin piece of foam to cover the screen. The iPad itself was in perfect condition and is still going strong today.

I don't care for front loaders bc you can't soak clothes for projects like using dyes or whitening things. My speed queen has the option of fill tub, but high efficiency is the default. Most people I know have front loaders now though.

Good to know!

Got two Le Cruset they will last for generations. Enameled and a joy to cook with.

Yep. The days of throwing in a shirt or something I forgot about are over. Hate it and will never purchase auto sensing again in the future

Haha, no. He is a dentist.

Yeah this is exactly why we skipped the commercial options when we bought our washer and dryer last month. Ultimately went with a cheaper LG front load set that was 1/3 the cost of the speed queen set. Sure it might only last 10-12 years, but the savings in water and destroyed clothes will be worth it in the long run.

Dooooooope

I'm a rando on the internet. You want evidence, go fucking get it yourself. I am not beholden to your needs.

We have the level sensing in our maytag, along with a locking lid. Awful, takes forever and you’re literally locked in.

These look like solid gloves. Out of interest, was your father an assassin/henchman/burglar?

Your washer should fill much past the load level.

Depends where you live. I heard the lower voltage in the US means it takes longer to boil water than elsewhere.
