The cleanliness of the machine is what you can’t see between the inner and outer drum. Ironically using too much detergent will make your…

I was using $150k p.a. Based on the OP. I’d like around $100k p.a. in retirement so need about $2m of assets to sustain $100k p.a. + CPI

Seems like I missed the boat. Just checked why it never popped up in my radar "We’re currently powering Aussie homes in South-East QLD…

Will be a great retirement for sure.

I could easily retire on $150k. Realistically much less. Don't forget if most if not all retirement income may be tax free. How much…

Maybe use powder for your whites. Powder generally works better than liquids. Plus you should run a hot cycle once in a while to clean your…

Got excited when the Retravision ad stated '65W USB-C power delivery' but this looks wrong. vid_ghost was correct to state it's 15W USB-C…

You're correct but as vid_ghost stated no one buys 24" anymore. Today the sweet spot is 27" QHD or 32" 4K Having said that I just ordered a…

Went from Intel/Windows to Macbook Air M3 If you're just using it for web/office, it's fantastic. Silent, great battery life, For $200…

Cheers. Picked up one

Never even heard of Ampol Energy and I check the VIC Gov compare website once a year. What is so good about Ampol? I actually have good…

Warmer temps will help dissolve it

Broke it removing old ones it or installing new ones? I remember the factory BMW spark plugs after 100k were so tight I was worried I was…

If the heat pump was $1,000 and a vented dryer was $300, probably not but at $500, the premium isn't much so get this heat pump.

So probably a spark plug change (but not in a Subaru)

Doubles as a white noise machine to put you to sleep.

Of course they can. It just gets dusty.

Easy. 2 options 1st- Just get the wife to help you take down the dryer down each time you want to use your top loader. And then ask her to…

I'm not so worried about the fire. I'm just not sure I would want the heat pump noise in the living room or bed room.

Twice in 2 years ain't good but at least you know what the problem is and it's cheap. As hard to do as an car engine oil change? Or are we…

Curious which carpeted room you intend to place the dryer?

Too much detergent? Cold wash?

I doubt they would want to trade in their 14yo car for a 14 to 16yo Tiguan or even older Craptiva or Cruze.

Disagree. A reasonably reliable brand shouldn't need a rebuild anywhere near 200k, however there will be things that need to be replaced as…

Unfortunately they are all pretty shit. Happy to be corrected if you can find an unsponsored review comparing the one you have with…

"the continued sales show people continue to use them" is not a good argument to show effective a product is. There are many products out…

I think for a small load a pod/disc is too much detergent and a large load a pod/disc could be too little.

"Either your clothes are clean or they're not." There's levels of cleanliness.…

Because they are pretty shit at washing compared to front loaders. Clothes also take much longer to dry because they don't spin has fast.

Because people think they work. Similar to the vitamin supplement industry.
