my-viewpoints says "Kenmore HE washer - over-engineered; not practical" about Kenmore Elite Oasis 4.6 cu. ft. Canyon Capacity Washer

my-viewpoints — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 16:06:56 GMT

I researched washes for 2 months trying to find the right one; small yet large enough to hold large items like blankets; decided on this size as it was in-between. I am mortified that I cannot control the water level. What moron designed this?? I can set all kinds of temps; `types of washes', mess with time but NOT WATER LEVEL. With large loads, tis is exasperating as the water does not cover the clothes. Even if I mess witht the load, or rearrange it, I might get another inch of water, then it shuts off and continues `washing'. UGH!!

my-viewpoints says "Kenmore Elite Dryer - fair" about Kenmore Elite Oasis 7.5 cu. ft. Canyon Capacity Electric Dryer

my-viewpoints — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 16:06:56 GMT

I researched for months before purchasing a washer/dryer. Finally decided on the canyon capacity because of the size. Washer - big disappointment; Dryer is fair. The default for drying is the medium setting and almost alway have to adjust to more dryness. I often get a code 44 when opening and closing dryer door during load. Have to cancel cycle and start over when this happens. Clothes can easily become wrinkled if I don't catch early in the cycle. Once certain cycles are set, you cannot adjust controls. You have to cancel and start over. NOT a practical design.

my-viewpoints says "good to freshen up a room" about Roomba iRobot Discovery Vacuum

my-viewpoints — Mon, 04 Aug 2008 03:47:09 GMT

Iroomba - had for 2 years, then battery died. It actually fried the unit so had to get another one. Manufacturer offered us 30%off new one - NOT a great deal since the units are defective. Useful for making a room look vacuumed. I spend a lot of time cleaning out lint, hair, junk from rollers....

my-viewpoints says "As credit cards go, upromise is mediocre." about Citi - Upromise Platinum Select Mastercard

my-viewpoints — Mon, 04 Aug 2008 03:39:44 GMT

Upromise Credit Card.

cons: short time to meet balance due date (less than 20 days); cust service not helpful in removing late fee when only day late; charges high fee to `maintain' 529 plan; low maximum amount allowed per year; minimal amount that you actually `get back'

pros: 529 plan; some vendors give good points
