I need washer and dryer recommendations. Electric, side by side, new or lightly used ($1200 or so for the set), in the US. I'm prepared to craigslist troll and scratch and dent search so I'd like good brands to buy and ones to avoid but specific models (especially if new) would be fine too. Also my wife would prefer a top loader for the washer. High efficiency / energy star being a must. Thanks.

BumikiIsFreaky posted:We have a Maytag Centennial washer/dryer combo we got from Home Depot. Fit your electric, side by side, HE, energy star, and top load requirements. Think the Bravos line is their top of the line upgraded one and should be able to be found used for your budget, ours was going into an apartment so we went with the cheaper one that we got on sale for like $700 new. Some people have problems with them around the three year mark but ours is still going strong. Ended up getting a Whirlpool Cabrio combo from HD as well, had a great sale and came in a few hundred below our price ceiling after taxes/delivery. WTW7000DW and WED7000DW. Lunchboxx posted:I need a small indoor grilling/cooking device. Should I just go with a George Foreman grill or is there a specific something or other that I need to get? A smaller grill is preferable and price doesn't matter. Having owned a george foreman, I don't like it and you should just cook on your stovetop with a cast iron or maybe a griddle/flat pan setup.

Inzombiac posted:I appreciate the recommendation but $5-700 for a sound system is well beyond what I can spend. Just pick up whatever cheap 5.1 set is at walmart. I seriously did the same thing 5+ years ago and it will be fine while costing 150-200 then just spend the remaining money on whatever budget bluray player rounds out the 300.

Julet Esqu posted:My dog is getting old and grey and having more trouble than she used to in getting in and out of my car. I can kind of help lift her in and out, but she hates that. Any suggestions for some steps or a stool or something to help her climb in herself? Preferably something that can be collapsed somewhat so I can take it along with us to wherever it is I'm driving her. She's a standard poodle, so it needs to be sturdy enough for a medium/large dog. What if you just make a chicken coop ramp type thing? Strip of plywood with some foot grab crossbars screwed into it. If she's heavy enough maybe throw a 2x4 underneath it for support.

nocal posted:Real wood furniture? Everything seems to be made out of particleboard MDF now, and I'd gladly pay a bit more to have furniture that I can't accidentally break. You might also want to look at local carpenters and will probably find that a custom piece from them will be equal in price or not much off a website/store selling real wood furniture.

Through The Decade posted:I'm moving to a fancy new house soon that is going to have speakers in the ceiling in the kitchen/living room, the wires terminate in the basement. I need a receiver to run them but the market is full of things that do 4k passthrough and 7.2 sound and all sorts of things that don't apply to this scenario. I would want the ability to control it through an app though so I don't have to go downstairs to change songs or turn it off. TV is going in the basement too though so if multi-zone is a thing then maybe I could make use of a video passthrough after all, but I'm not looking to spend too much either way. Thoughts? Check out this thread in IYG. That'll get you more appropriate eyes on this one.

Preferably something a step up from the 30$ pinhole projectors, something more like the Sega Homestar.

couldcareless posted:I need a new garden hose sprayer nozzle. Old one that we got from Costco finally bit the dust. I'm inclined just to pick up another when Costco inevitably puts out their spring yard care stuff, but is there some recommended model or brand out there that can give me some long term reliability? They are all poo poo. The more metal the longer it will likely last. Try and protect your hose and nozzle from freeze cycles in the winter.

Android Apocalypse posted:I know this is the thread for products, but what about services? I need to find a good interstate non-emergency medical transport for my mom. Heading from Maryland to Florida, likely soon. She is invalid & needs O2. For that long of a ride I'm thinking she'd want a stretcher instead of a wheelchair. You could try contacting AMR or maybe Lifeguard (some big companies I know of), your best bet to know the station/crew is good would be local knowledge though. Unfortunately I'm in TN, you might try asking in the EMS thread. I did a lot of these back when I did EMS full time feel free to PM me.

Unless you have the tools and knowledge on how to true the new wheel you should see if you can find a local bike shop. They should be able to provide you with a low cost option suitable to your bike and needs plus handle the install. Bonus, they may be able to repair your current wheel.

Luminoodle Color Bias Lighting - USB LED TV Backlight with Color, Adhesive RGB Strip Lights with Wireless Remote & Built-in Controller - X-Large (13.1 [Electronics] I use this one. On Amazon at least they will tell you what size TV the different sizes will fit. Most TVs the USB port will turn on and off with the TV power which means once you get it setup you don't have to mess with the remote. It's honestly really nice.

The quality/QC on a battery pack is important if you value things like not exploding or catching fire randomly. I just stick to buying Anker products because my balls not exploding in fire are worth the price (I keep my battery packs strapped to my taint).

So something that can power 3 things at the very least, but possibly up to 8 or 10. If you want it to power your AC plus those other things you should really look at properly tying it in at your panel which means getting an electrician out to do it properly. They might have certain generators they recommend but Honda is always spoken of as having the best if you can afford it.

They were in the shell and salted and (maybe roasted first) but definitely fried, and you could eat the shell too. My flippant answer is "the south", my bit of googling answer is here although they are currently sold out. Interesting though I managed to not see deep fried peanuts in my time in the south at various gas stations, but a hell of a lot of boiled peanuts.

Recommend me a chair, a chair that I will sit in at my hobby table for miniature painting etc. I will be sitting on carpet and specifically don't want a chair on wheels, if the chair spins I guess that would be fine but not required.* Currently I have a chair that's a rickety 40+ year old thing meant for someone with less stout asscheeks and thighs which makes it not very comfortable for long periods of time. *I know goons love office chairs that spin for computer use, and I have one for that, but I'm specifically looking for not that here.

signalnoise posted:Probably worth keeping in mind that you can generally replace casters with simple feet for computer chairs that come with caster wheels. You just pull the wheels out and shove the replacements in, it takes very little time and is much less expensive than a whole chair, if you happen to have a different chair you like, but not for this purpose because of wheels, or if you find a chair you like the look of other than it having wheels. I am woefully under-chaired so nothing to swap wheels for feet on, but that's an excellent idea for if a good wheeled option comes up without a good already non-wheeled option. Thanks for the idea!

We have 2 (bedroom, kids bedroom) and run them every night. The oldest machine ran for probably 7 years before the on/off switch wore out (I think was the issue). I love that it's not electronic sound but rather real spinning fan type noise.

There is a captive bolt gun style one powered by CO2 cartridges that you mount such that the corpses drop down out of the way. I've seen it posted about here before but the name currently escapes me and I'm just firing off a quick post before it's bedtime for the wee one (or I'd try and hunt down the name).
