r u ready to WALK posted:I fell for the whole Bosch/Siemens home-connect smart appliance scam and now I have an oven that likes to crash and reboot in the middle of cooking things. my oven has spirals on top of it that get hot through the miracle of passing an electric current through a material with high resistivity. same thing for the inside of the oven itself, but the thingies aren't spiral shaped. there are 5 knobs to make things less hot or more hot. last time i thoroughly cleaned it i found a yellowed folded piece of paper taped to the inside of where the knobs are mounted which turned out to be the list of parts and parts numbers, and the full circuit diagram for the whole thing which i imagine is there in case you ever need to repair it with supplies you scavenged from the bombed-out ruins of a radio shack after surviving thermonuclear war with the soviets, which most likely was still a concern at the time it was built anyways what i'm trying to say is i don't have problems with my oven rebooting and i'm never replacing it unless i'm absolutely forced to

Jenny Agutter posted:I never buy an appliance without checking consumer reports ratings first but it’s annoying that there’s a new model of everything every year so it still involves some guesswork i know right? thanks to the magic of capitalism when you buy something these days you have a wide variety of brands to choose from, which inevitably fall within the following categories: - garbage coasting on reputation from 50 years ago - 50 different brands with names like "BRVVT" or "XVIIL" that all source cheap crap from the same factory and have wildly different descriptions for the same item that range from half-truths to complete lies, making amazon more useless than at any earlier point in time - some "barebone" brand designed to both fail exactly seven seconds after the warranty expires and be impossible to repair - some "luxury" brand which mostly exists for people with more money than taste, with the dumbest features imaginable added year after year to force you to either buy the new version, or otherwise face the embarrassment of using an older product which means you might as well be a toothless hillbilly living in a remote mountain shack - actual luxury brands that act as status symbols and will never actually be used

well yeah but the actual problem they're trying to solve is getting you to buy a new one as often as possible. and i gotta say, samsung's ahead of the pack there

The_Franz posted:the subtitle of this thread should be "don't buy samsung, never buy samsung" i should have clarified that while they've figured out the "get you to replace your appliances as often as possible" part, they haven't cracked the "but make sure it gets replaced by other samsung appliances" part. my bad my current theory wrt samsung is that their appliances division is where they send all the fuckups from the other divisions that they can't fire for political or other reasons. hey, guy from the shipbuilding division who designs oil filters that leak everywhere, how 'bout designing fridge compressors instead? embedded dude who can't flash a loving led, how about you write dryer firmware from now on? how about you lcd pannel buddy, you ever wanted to put a tv in a fridge? then boy have i got the job for you!

i was gonna say something like "it'll make the whole thing dry!" but once the surface moisture evaporates there should be a crust that prevents more water from leaving, and besides what makes a roast juicy is largely the fat that melts and seeps through it and that's not going anywhere but i don't have one of those fancy ovens with a fan in it so i won't be able to try that with that roast beef recipe i haven't made in forever where it's slathered in a blend of dijon mustard and herbs, even though it probably would be a good candidate this all made me hungry though

i pretty much always use my immersion blender whenever i'm making cream of leeks or another large batch of something like that. the other kinds of spinning blades attached to a motor don't get nearly as much use

Glorgnole posted:I got one of those last year and aside from the color it looks and feels identical to the one my mom got 25 years ago no idea if it's true in this particular case, but a lot of those "hasn't changed in 25 years" appliances look the same but the internals have definitely changed, and usually not for the better when it comes to reliability or service life
