No more gadgets for me

It all started when my old car, a 2001 Prius completely blew the electric motors (a problem never seen before in a hybrid) and it had to be replaces...then my high tech dishwasher died closely followed by my new fridge's ice maker!

Well, my all-in-one washer/dryer has been deamed unfixable by Best Buy (we bought th extended service plan thank goddess) and so becasue of this, we get a brandy new one...

Except....


Wait for it....


it is no longer being made!


Great so now I have to pick out a new set, and install a dryer vent in the roof. No one else that Best Buy carries makes a condensing dryer and LG doesn't make one that is stand alone. I really wanted to keep my condensing dryer though...it uses way less energy than a standard dryer and is way better for you clothes.


So I started doing the research and found out that besides the European appliance makers, pretty much everything is made by Whirlpool or LG, regardless of the brand name. So after this exsperice with LG and knowing that Whirlpools aren't the best either...I figured does it really make an difference? No not really...so I went and go a Samsung set. It has a vibration reduction thing so that is very good for our crazy house floor, is as big as the one that died and spins just as fast. And it has an internal water heater for a sanitary cycle for my cloth dipes! It has this crazy Silver Care thing that puts silver into the water to sterilize the clothes and I was worried about my diapers getting silver build up (since diapers are washed a whole lot more than normal clothes, three times a week at least) but you can turn it off so no diaper build up!

They will here on Friday...so Thursday morning, weather permitting , we will be installing the vent in the roof! Wish us luck!
