The pods are all the same, buy the cheapest one and throw some white vinegar in the rinse aid. The link you posted ain't it. I appreciate the YouTube you posted, that was good info.

Well, go on with your bad self. I posted an amazon link as courtesy to non-Sams people. Please post your spreadsheet of every dishwasher pod ever on a $/pod basis. This is not the cheapest subreddit, it is BIFL, and I post the best pod based on testing that I am aware of. Now if you have cost/quality data, please post it.

You tell me the hepa filter, rated for 6 months of use will last you forever? Man Dyson is overpriced designer toys. The used plastic gears on the roller that takes up the dust.

I've had my Oreck for over 20 years, serviced once.

Yes, just not the ones from Walmart- they are a separate part number and a thinner material copy of the better one.

The more you cool the radiator the more you heat the room as more heat is transferred to the surrounding air. Remember, energy cannot be created or destroyed ....

Member's Mark is Sam's Club brand. Probably way cheaper at the actual club.

IQ Air is the best in the business. Look up ”IQ Air vs tear gas”

Had mine since Job Corps 11 years ago, standard uniform. I out grew them but I wore the heck out of them until I did so and they held up well

More thermal mass means longer to heat but longer to cool. If your power goes out, the oil filled heater will keep your room warm longer than a simple blower style heater.

Things sensitive to freezing likes drinks or eggs should go up front, things you don’t care about freezing a little like leftover pizza can go near the back or sides where it’s colder, that should help in the interim as you search for a new refrigerator. Perhaps look into getting it serviced instead of replacing it

However high you need until it stops freezing stuff! If stuff is freezing, then at least part of the fridge is at 32 or lower than 32.

If you turn the temperature up as far as it will go and its still freezing stuff, then it may need to have the thermostat replaced. Probably (although you never know nowadays) cheaper than a new fridge.

Is your fridge old? This is something that happens as they age, I forget the reason though.

Love ya

I stand by my comment.

Thanks for the reply! Learned something new. I'm probably going to break down and order one or the other here soon.

This isn't really correct. A 1500 watt heater will heat the same space with the same thermal load in half the time as a 750 watt heater. The oil heater if it only takes 700 watts is going to take over double the time to bring the room to temperature compared to the fan heater. This is because of the thermal load of the oil itself plus having half the power of the fan heater. The only reason you are thinking you are saving money is that it's off but in reality you paid for that heat energy that is being released by the oil. If both have decent functioning thermostats they will both use the same exact amount of energy to heat the same space to a desired temp.

​

There are advantages to oil heaters like being quieter but saving your money isn't one of them.

That's one of the advantages of having a Miele or other nice vac vs a Hoover or whatever off the shelf of a big box store. They service them, honor the warranty, etc.

try a local vacuum sewing store, they usually have euro vacs and might be able to help. But, I would just exchange it. You don't lose the discount that way. Give the place your bought from a call and let them know it's defective and to send a new one when you send that one back.

Check out "vacuum wars" on YouTube. That guy knows his stuff and recommends vacuums in all different kinds of categories.

Didn’t even know there were Miele dealers lol… Whatever I do I need to do it quick because I’ve already started the return process, I have exactly 5 days to ship it or I’m stuck with it.

I haven’t checked the conversions but in the US, it was $900+ on sale… But for me, even $200 would be the most expensive I’d have paid for a vacuum.

Do you have a Miele dealer you could take it to? Your local dealer should be able to diagnose the problem and let you try a loaner to see if you actually want to fix it or return it.
