nelz2 says "Going Back to Bounce Sheets from Bounce Dryer Bar" about Bounce Dryer Sheets

nelz2 — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 20:58:51 GMT

I am going back to Bounce Dryer Sheets after trying the Bounce Dryer Bar. I've had to rewash too many loads due to white streaks and smudges.

In my first review of the Bounce Dryer Bar, I said time would tell, it has. The main problem is white streaks left on dark clothes. I hoped after the bar had been used a few times it would quit leaving streaks. I am on load 13 or 14, the marks are still bad. Pieces of the bar are chipping off and leaving smudges.

I've rewashed several loads in plain warm water, this seems to be the best solution when over half of the clothes are marked. It isn't as visible on lighter clothes, that doesn't mean the streaks aren't there. The electric and gas bill will increase enough to eat up any savings not to mention time.

I'm now faced with removing the bar holder from the dryer. The package didn't address this. I have the holder still in the dryer with no bar.

I have gone back to what has worked well for me, providing...

I received the Bounce Dryer Bar, and have used it a few times. It has pro and cons for me. It works as well as sheets, but not necessarily any better- controls static, fresh smell, no liquids to add to the washer etc.

When using sheets I use an old one to clean the lint trap of the dryer after each load, which is convenient and double use of the Bounce dryer sheet. I don't have this available now with the bar, but there is less waste for the environment.

The first load I dried (when the bar was new) a dark load of course, at least three dress shirts - knit or need to be ironed had several white marks (residue). I rewashed one and used a wet rag to remove the marks from the others. Lighter loads and whites didn't have the problem. I'm assuming as the bar gets older it will be less prone to leaving residue. I will review again in a week or two.

A major concern I have - there were no instructions how to remove the unit from my dryer should I decide...

nelz2 says "I do not recommend, downdraft pulls flame from burners!" about Jenn-Air Cook Top Stainless Steel, JGD8130ADS

nelz2 — Wed, 13 May 2009 04:11:38 GMT

Jenn-Air Stainless Steel 2 burner regular, 2 burner grill or griddle gas drop in cook top. This unit is very attractive, but is very hard to cook on if you want to use the fan, or the grill. The downdraft fan automatically comes on high when you use the grill side or griddle and pulls the flames from the other burners making it impossible to cook on both sides of the cook top at the same time. If you have a large family or cook a lot this would be a terrible cook top to have. My neighbor after learning the trouble I had, bought the Bosch, the fan comes up in the back, not the middle, and you can control the speed. So it doesn't pull the flame away from the pots. She loves a Bosch. To do it again, I would not buy the Jenn Air, I would get a cook top with an overhead fan, or pop up back fan.

nelz2 says "ATT 6.0 Dect- Great phone system!" about AT&T - 6.0 Dect CL82659 (six handset) Answering System

nelz2 — Wed, 13 May 2009 00:06:47 GMT

Anyone considering going to the Dect 6.0, I highly recommend it. It has made a huge difference on the speed of our internet. We have High Speed 8, but at times you would think it was dial-up. I had read that the Dect phone removes your land-line from your internet. It truly does, whether you are on the phone or not, is seems to have made a big difference. I looked for quite awhile and decided on AT&T, a little more expensive, $139.00, at Costco, but it had more handsets (6), $99 for 3, we have a barn and large house. I am sure if I waited Costco would have had a coupon or mark down on this item. The buttons are large and flat, so stuff doesn't get inside and cause them to stick as much. All the handsets are lighted and reset the time when one is reset. Has a get wall mountable answering machine which is small and very user friendly. I had the AT&T 5.8 ghz before, and this system's range and sound quality is as good if not better than that one. It has a speaker phone...

nelz2 says "Wonderful site to order online from" about Zappos.com

Weatherproof Garments- Men's Coat- I looked in quite a few places for this brand of coat my husband wanted. I finally did a comparison search on MSN and it came up with three stores that carried it, Zappos.com was the least expensive, with no shipping charges or tax. I thought I would check them out. I have WOT (web of trust) on my browser, they were rated very good. They had the exact coat he wanted, in the size, color etc. They shipped it overnight (2 days) by the time it accutally got here from the time of order, no charge. They kept me informed, free return label enclosed, the best price, and excellent customer service. I had a question about points being added to the account I ordered through. I cannot say enough good things about Zappos.com even though I have only ordered from them once. I will go back....
