Many years ago I subscribed to a magazine called
Consumer's Report and it became my Bible as far as purchases were concerned. The last few years I have gotten away from the report and tend to take my chances or rely on family and friends to recommend a product before I spend my money.
What you always have to keep in mind, though, is that no matter what you are buying there are
lemons and there are
LEMONS. Your family member or friend may have gotten a good product; then you may go out the very next day and get the lemon for that week. I was once told that it is not a good idea to buy a new car if the car was built on a Monday. How anyone knows the day of the week a particular car came off the assembly is unknown to me. Maybe they are date stamped somewhere at the end of the line?????
At any rate, the reasoning for this being that the assemblers party all week end and don't come in to work on Monday in the sharpest frame of mind or maybe that is their
I just don't give a crap day!-who knows?
Actually, that thought never crossed my mind again any time I was out cruising the car lots for my next shiny new cost-as-much-as-a-house vehicle. My husband always checked out the mechanicals, engine, tires, etc., etc., and I checked out the color, the number of drink holders, and all the bells and whistles. I left it up to him to determine that the vehicle would run smoothly down the road; while I focused more on that it looked good while it ran smoothly down the road. With vehicles, for some reason we were always lucky and never had any complaints with any that we purchased.
Housewares-specifically appliances is my area of complaint and accolade. Last year for Christmas my husband bought me the most beautiful (RED) set of
Samsung Washer and Dryer-on pedestals, yet. Being up on pedestals is wonderful for me since I have a bad back and bending is next to impossible. They do almost everything-the buttons even have buttons. They buzz when finished and then play the most adorable musical jingle you could ask for. Now, the real issue-were they worth the huge price for the glitz and glamour?
I have to say that I truly admire this washer and dryer. I have yet to find any complaints to list about them and I have had them for just over a year now. The washer uses
he (High efficiency) detergent and fabric softeners which cut down on the amount needed of each. The washer and dryer both have sensors that can evaluate the size of the loads and set the run time accordingly. The dryer senses the dampness of the clothes also and sets the run time accordingly. They have child safety locks and a special rack for drying sneakers, stuffed toys, and foam rubber pillows. I especially like the SilverCare function of the washer for sanitizing your laundry. The pluses for this washer and dryer are just too numerous to mention and I highly recommend the set for anyone who believes that you pay for what you get. They are a bit pricey, but well worth it.
