    New Grills Announced!

    I think if you bought the new Summit you probably will have that core foundation to rebuild on but its going to take along time to find out I guess the enclosed cabinet could still be a crap shoot but other than that you got an aluminum cookbox, all stainless inside on the parts that count, the...

    New Grills Announced!

    Nobody would be in business if their grills lasted 20 years. I guess if you charged 5k for a grill you might be cause you would probably make more money on replacement parts over the years if you wanted to stick with OEM parts.

    Clothes washing machines - any reccos of new machines and manufacturer experiences?

    The Bosch is only 2.2 cubic feet also as the Miele is I believe. They really are built for the overseas mkt where all appliances are smaller than the US market because the basic kitchen overseas is smaller the refigerators are smaller and I suspect the stoves are smaller. This was the knock...

    New Grills Announced!

    What did a 2005 Silver C sell for if the B was $499. In 2024 dollars it would be just north of $800 as John said so the C had to be at least 100 dollars more so assume it would be north of 900 today. Just like people today who complan the Webers are to expensive they were saying the same thing...

    J, I understand what you are saying they should but many don't. Samsung and GE most models have a one year warranty you can of course buy an extended plan. Speed Queen does not really change much in their washers at this point I am sick of buying washers 2 in 15 years. I am 70 so if its the...

    Does anyone warranty the expected life of an appliance? The expected life per Speed Queen is 25 years. Going to look at a few next week will report back and no they are not sold thru box stores, fortunately I have a dealer 4 miles away from me that services and sells them.

    I hope someone chimes in on the Speed Queen I am starting to lean that way, expensive yes but with a 7 year warranty maybe not. I like that parts and labor especially labor are included. You spend 700 for something else lucky to get a 2 year warranty out of it something goes wrong after that...

    I picked that up off the internet and I am in a Co-op so there is a credit for usage the more you use. But my last bill was $135.00 used 1387 KW so to use that for example which has the service charge and taxes in it. Its basically .0973 per KW so based on 468 for the dryer per year my yearly...

    Here is another interesting blurb from Speed Queen on capacity as at first glance its pretty small. https://speedqueen.com/scoop-blog/knowledge/products/top-load-washer-machine-capacity/ Pricey yes but if it keeps my wife happy I am happy and after being on my second washer in 14 years with the...

    We have pretty good electric rates in GA but depending on what kind of dryer you have its not really that expensive to run it believe it or not. We would fit in to 2-3 times a week in my family only 2 of us. On average, dryers use 1,500 to 5,000 watts of electricity – this number is highly...

    Consumer Reports and this was many years ago had some issues with a few models of Speed Queens and yes their were some issues but I don't believe with the current models that is the case but from my research in the last few days I would not buy the TC model I would go with the Tr5 or Tr7 and I...
