Thanks Kep, that makes sense. I was looking on the Lowe's website last night. What did you wind up getting and what were you looking for?

Good Morning, Lodge!

Baby wore Black is growing so fast. Big boy. At the last doctor's appointment, he weighed over 10lbs.

YIKES!!

Good Afternoon Lodge!! (Dependent on time zone)

There are days when the day is good. There are days when the day is bad (yesterday) and there are days when it is work to keep it from bad (today).

Well, if it is as hot as the center of Africa and you do not have AC you run it in the middle of the night.

Good Evening Lodge.

I always set mine old one to a 4-hour delay right before bed. Woke up to a clean dishwasher. This one does not have that feature.

I got a Kitchen Aid KDFE104HPS0. I was looking for mid-price, quiet, standard width, stainless steel finish to match the rest of the kitchen with a really high Consumers' rating for reliability and satisfaction. There were a couple luxury brands with Ikea-sounding names that were much fancier and got the top ratings but some models in the Whirlpool/Kitchen Aid lane got really good ratings, too.

I also learned something during my research: pre-scrubbing or pre-rinsing your dishes is basically wasted labor. Unless you do something like burn lasagna and then leave it to sit for a week, any decent modern d/w will clean it effectively. The problem they have now is drying, I think to stay within power savings tolerances. Apparently the fancier the d/w the more complaints people have about drying. So watch out for that, too.

I was impressed by how many common brands have models that are really good. it's not the nightmare I imagined. Good luck!

Truth. Also add cooking scrambled eggs. That film is a beech to get rid of. I'd scrub that.

Well, now I think something is wrong with my freezer door. I woke up this morning to see that it wasn’t shut all the way. I shut it and may tape it for the day and will not open till tomorrow. Not sure what to do - call a repairman or just bite the bullet and head to Lowe’s. I need this like a hole in the head.

If you cook them properly, there shouldn't be any film. ;-)

Are you sure you didn’t close it all the way last night, or something kept it from closing? Seems odd that it would just happen like that.

Well, ****. 13 year old plasma TV has the red stripe right down the middle. I didn't want to buy a new TV this weekend, but I might not have a choice.

[St. Clown]

The good news is that a 4K UHD TV is pretty cheap these days when compared against the old plasma TVs.

Incorrect. There is still a very thin film that is a PITA. I take pride in my eggs, and my past guests (not all of them are "THOSE" kind of guests, you perv ) have absolutely loved them.
