Problem with front load washers: people dont expect to have to do maintenance to their washers. Now you can argue that you shouldn't need to, but I personally love my maytag front loader that I have had for 10 years with absolutely zero problems that I couldn't deal with myself. Even if you need to change the seal you can do that since its just behind some sheet metal. The secret to keeping a front load washer is to always clean the sealing area, clean the drainage ports under the lip of the seal, clean your washer regularly with vinegar and baking soda (or bleach if you want), don't ever leave them closed for too long and always leave it cracked open when not in use, and finally do not ignore any size leak because it may just be some dirt on the seal but a leak will never get better it'll only get worse.
Wow! That sums up my experience also. We do the same "maintenance" on our current set 5 years old, and our previous set still at our old house I assume that was 9 years old when we moved. Both Samsung. Minor surgery on the old dryer for a moisture sensor.
Just finished remodeling a room and painted it with Behr paint. They claimed one coat coverage but I found two coats is what was really needed. I don't think I would re-purchase it again.
I agree with you' Bear on Behr paint. I painted my whole house with Behr. In my opinion it goes on really well... creates a good finish.... and so far, over a decade later, is doing great. I used to use Sherwin-Williams.... which I liked, but Behr has won me over.
Me too. Too many issues with Sherwin, Behr has been great. Although I use Halman-Lindsay on my exterior as it is a local paint company and knows the environment very well.
Hey Jeff, it was great meeting you and your wife last month. On that 2 drawer Whirlpool refrigerator, I passed on that 2 drawer model for 2 reasons. The single drawer model has an internal drawer at the bottom of the refrigerator which you can see into when the French door are open, and like you said, the single drawer is cheaper, why pay for that extra external drawer. The 2nd reason is the ice water & ice dispenser. My family uses a lot of ice, and the 2 drawer model has baby sized ice bin on the door whereas the single drawer had a large internal mounted ice bin which takes up some refrigerator space, but we prefer not to run out of ice. You need to compare the models closely, some of them have a single lever for ice and water which you need to make your selection with a separate button before dispensing, I like the 2 lever, no accidental dispensing the wrong thing, ever try dispensing ice into a glass with water already in it, splashes all over.
It's a "beer drawer"! It's nice for holding cans of beer or pop/soda, without taking up a large portion of your fridge, if you keep beverage cans on hand. They are expensive, though.
Just FYI ... I have the same line / string trimmer. If I use my 3 amp / hr battery it not only runs out of power quickly but destroys the battery quickly. Especially on the leaf blower. If I use any of my 6 thru 9 amp ones it lasts. I've gone 5-6 years on the bigger batteries so far and still going strong. .
My whirlpool Duet front loaders have been running 3-4 loads a day for 20 years straight. These things never stop. Can't say enough about whirlpool. I do think the top loaders are generally way more reliable for most people.
We have a 3rd drawer french door fridge. Drinks go in that drawer and ut can be set to it's own temp. Worth it, though a little space is lost. We have a garage fridge so not a big deal for us
22:20 those flywheel type of log splitters worked very well. They usually don’t have as high capacity as hydraulic ones but they are faster… perfect for a homeowner with a little bit of land that cuts down a tree once in a wow for firewood to use at home. Just like any piece of equipment or farm implement with moving parts, you need to check the flywheel and belt/chain for wear periodically. I’m glad to see these coming down in price. if you’ve got a major firewood operation, even as a side hustle hydraulic splitter is going to be your best bet for regular heavy duty use. The one recommendation I have for this, RYOBI is that you build some sort of table or stand for it to get it off the ground…. Nobody wants to be kneeled on the ground or hunched over to use this thing constantly.
Not to be that person, but my parents bought an LG front loading stacked washer dryer 3 years ago and haven't had to maintain it. It was about $1400 on sale. So not bad 3 years in.
The second drawer on a French door fridge like that is really good to put drinks and that sort of thing in then that way you’re just opening that drawer for a quick second to grab something to drink instead of opening your entire fridge and taking up shelf space or at least that is the type of thing we use them for
I'm having a much different experience with my Milwaukee Quik-Lok gear. If you always keep the throttle on high, then yes, you'll chew through batteries. If you keep it on low speed, that's PLENTY of power to string trim or hedge trim... or even use the edger. I can do all the edging and string trimming on my 1.0 acre lot using 1 8.0aH battery. I can get through MOST of it with a 6.0 aH battery. I still love mine.
I only have a m12 2.5ah and a m18 2.0 but well over 100 charges and no noticeable drop in battery life being used in a high speed ratchet, high torque, a cheapo glue gun, and a drill. But I think its worth pointing out I am using a regular charger(in a temp controlled area as well) not a rapid or supercharger and I typically don't let them get below 2/4 lights before I throw them on the charger. think thats the only reason they've held up so far for me.
I had a Kitchenaid dishwasher for 15 years before it started leaking from underneath. I narrowed brands down to Bosch, Miele, and Kitchenaid. Miele was a the priciest (their low end is most brand's high end), and the Kitchenaid had the best rack setup for me, but I went with Bosch because of a counter clearance issue. So far so good. I don't like the rack tines/layout as much but it is supposed to be among the most reliable and that is most important.
We've been Bosch only (except for one house that only had a mini-sized slot) for decades. Very reliable and among the quietest. The local repair guy really slagged the Miele, said they've been much higher frequency in needing repairs.
My neighbor has actual refrigerator and warming drawers and that makes sense but to me not so much in the actual fridge. They also have a separate Sub Zero fridge and freezer that sit side by side and that is awesome because you get a ton of room. I love my front load washers but in my heart I know you are probably right about them. LOL. Have a Bosch dishwasher and it's awesome.
My wife and i want the pne with the extra drawer. For us the idea is that would be a drawer for kids stuff snacks drinks ect. Little ones try to open regular fridge drawer and we are worried itll get left open.
The pull out refrigerator draw is great for fruits and vegetables! Quick easy access for when you only want a fruit for a snack or vegetables for cooking. This prevents your beer, milk and juices from losing it cold while you are fishing around for produce.
Skip the fancy looking Washing Machines and Dryers. We bought the Speed Queens with simple controls in 2021. 3 years on well water with just a softener inline and they are incredible. The dryers are so hot and finish in 1/4th the time as out Samsung. They are back looking and you can get the new digital ones but I’m telling you that the manual control versions are incredible. We paid $1800.00 for the set and had to literally shop 10 places to get them back then.
Love my Milwaukee quik lok, 3 years on 2 8.0 batteries. Have pole saw and hedge trimmer attachment as well as the string trimmer. Also in Florida so basically using year round. Never going back to gas
I admit the front load washers are a huge waste of $ I bought 1 of the first maytag admirals and I’ve put 2 sets of bearings in it, maytag doesn’t sell the bearings they want you to buy the entire tub! For at the time was 3/4 of what I paid for the washer plus I could have bought a new top load for just over 1/2 the price of the tub! Luckily I found info on changing the bearing and seal online and the parts only cost me about 80$ and my really good handyman friend helped me change them out for about 100$
You mispoke at one point on the waukee deal you buy the tool and get the 5.0 bagtery for free not as good of a deal as buying the battery and then getting a free tool personally id pass they often have deals where u buy a battery and get free tools often worth more than the battery bad tool deals for labor day thats for sure
FYI, the Ryobi compact HP line is the exception to the rule of the HP line, at least for the drill and impact. The compact are not quite as powerful and will overheat if used more. Also, the impact could really benefit from a 4-mode version as it is difficult to use it with finesse on smaller jobs.
I have used premium exterior glidden and it is good but too runny. I have used the high end Behr and it is too thick. I am about to try the lower priced Behr (one notch above Glidden premium). I am hoping it is a happy medium for how it spreads and doesn't drip etc.
I have a 2018 version of the whirlpool refrigerator with the extra drawer. It’s nice, but it was nice at $150ish more on a Black Friday sale. At the price in the video, pass on it. I use mine for lunch meat, cheeses, tortillas and the like. It’s a larger deli/veg drawer.
I have that Husky build out it’s awesome! I use it to store my Camping stuff it’s very durable and I prefer it then my Milwaukee pack out. I just wish they came out with drawers.
This is actually a good sponsor video with that chair, not that goofy Chinese knockoff electronics and tools from Amazon. But I’m still more disappointed in the fact that we don’t get to see the bear anymore 😅
Can someone fill me in on what he was eluding too in the comment about the Dewalt 780 miter saw? I have been waiting for that to go on sale for awhile and was about to buy it
9:28 wow…at these prices the toughsystem 2.0 looks better than the packout. I do have some packout but ended up supplementing with the Link system. No, it’s not built as well and the dewalt or Milwaukee but it’s help up just fine. I do like the Ridgid stuff as well for their extended flexibility being able to use the dolly on different boxes
Ridgid for the win! I have about 12 various Ridgid boxes and love them for the price vs the red option. They have been increasing the lineup, but has nowhere near the options that Milwaukee has. Overall very happy with them
Starting around 14:10 talking about DeWalt's prices, "glad to see them coming back to earth. Just worried about why they're coming back to earth. I think you probably all understand that one." Maybe all except me. What does that mean?
I've been subscribed for a few years, love the channel! I was a little surprised when I saw you in Collector Car Feed's live stream! Those guys are hilarious!
On smarthome devices like cameras and doorbells, time to go full on against anything requiring a cloud connection or subscription. No more Ring anything for me.
People who repair dishwashers know what they repair alot, but they don't necessarily have an accurate sense of how common each appliance is out in the world at any given time. It could be regional or what company they work for. They'll see repairs needed for both unreliable and very common washing machines. It is true that many front loading washers can be unreliable, but top loaders aren't as common as they used to be so it can skew perception that they are more reliable than they are. Top loader designs can also be unreliable. I'd look to reliable brands/models rather than front vs top loaders.
I have a short wife and she can't reach the bottom of a top load washer we looked at them but she basically had to crawl into it to get the stuff off the bottom
There is a video on it but the tldr - Bear software is owned by another company. He had it licensed for a computer - he tried to relicense it for a new computer - They wanted den of tools to pay crazy subscription money to move it to new computer - he passed on it - that computer one day died… he decided it was expensive to pay for access to bear that we would still not own… so he had to let the bear go. 😢 I miss the bear too but getting to know Jeff has been good.
Front load washers are statistically more reliable washers then top loaders. You're giving bad information on washers. Just watch Yale appliances videos. I just got a new LG front loader and it been flawless and the Whirlpool that I replaced was over 21 years only. Never had an issue.

@@leeb.7188 Listen man - One evening after the camera was off… the Bear started going on about how supposedly there was just one company making all brands of storage boxes and next morning he was gone. 🤷♂️
Do not buy any appliance that has GE on the front of it. We had a home built and the contractor put in all GE products and within three years they all had to be replaced pure junk.
I work my ass off on Labor Day even if I’m off. Reason is I don’t celebrate Communist Holidays. And neither should you. Look up who fought for Labor Day. Yeah Commies.
You know it's the Republican owned companies that are gouging you right? Biden and Kamala don't own any companies but bunch of dudes that are members at Mar a Lago do. Also if you want higher wages and want more money for your houses where do you think that magic money comes from? 🤦♂
No president has made our lives better or worse none ever will and if you can't make things work under any president then maybe you shouldn't be an American
Just waring you, as a viewer you are getting pretty obvious with your sponsorships. thats fine if that's the direction you want to go but it is increasingly noticeable. May the bear be with you.
I’ve heard you make that statement about the ring camera and police twice now. It’s completely false what you’re saying. You may want to fact check yourself the next time you make a statement like that.
@@Ysdiver49 Just so you know, this social media platform we are on censored my first reply to you, they are dictator-like just as you are trying to tell me where and what to post. You must have been a hall monitor in school.
I know this is not a political channel but, I like cheaper tools like the next guy. If we all want cheaper tools maybe we should all vote "TRUMP" back into office and watch those cool tool prices drop ! Along with every thing else!! 🙂 Have A Nice Day !!!
