These stainless-steel washing machine fill hoses are ideal for connecting most washing machines to hot and cold water.

Good quality, 6 ft might not be enough

Posted by: VDubs
Verified Purchase:Yes
Taking a star off, i made the distance between machines pretty clear upon purchase and yet the installers only had 6ft hoses. I ended up having to buy a 10ft hose to relax some stress. So, the reduction is rather a reflection on this being the default that comes with installs and not the wuality of the hoses themselves.

Quiet and fast washer

This washer, we’ve only had it a few days, is really nice. It is fast, quiet, and does its job well. We have the matching dryer, so it looks really nice having both of these next to each other as well. Roomy enough for bedding and taking care if our family of 5. Really happy with the quality so far.

While this is too new still to have long term feedback, it is a great dryer. Our old one was loud and not as fancy looking. This dryer is spacious and has so many extra functions. Hopefully, it’ll last a long time.

Word to the Wyze

If you don't get the premium subscription to all of their cameras, you will get spammed in the app constantly.
Cameras do not allow any AI alerting if you are not subscribing. I am getting rid of all my Wyze cams.
Not working still with HomeKit, which Wyze said it was working on 3 years ago.
If you are already paying for the subscription and you don't mind it, this combo is good for you. It uses a sticker on the inside of the door that the camera sees. When it is in the right spot, it knows that the door is closed and it is very accurate.

Not a powerhouse

Living in WI, having a snowblower is just about a must.
Wanting to go green and have a snowblower? This might not be the right model for you.
We just had a good amount of snow come down and I went out to clean in batches. The first part was a little wet and while it was only 2" it was very heavy.
This particular model does not have a 2 stage thrower and it keep clogging up. Sometimes you can just shake the machine and it loosens the obstruction, other times you have to stop and poke into the machine :(
Should you live in an area that gets little snow only and you do not have a lot of area to cover: this might be for you.

Great laptop! Easy must buy

I had an M1 Mac mini before this and just wanted something that I can actually take with me around the house.
16GB Ram and the larger SSD were a must for me since I write code.
There is nothing this thing cannot handle, I can even run LLMs locally on it and have no issues.
This is a workhorse and far from just the Airs of old.

I had to re-setup 2 of the items to get it to pair with HomeKit and Amazon both. The HomeKit part was the trickier one. All is fine now, and these just react super fast and so far have never been not available in the app.

Great coffee maker. We seem to buy more coffee makers than most sane people and never loving the device for too long.
This one beeps really loud when done, but it is quick to heat the water and easy to use.

Large, great air fryer

Great air fryer. We had a 7 in 1 device before that was good too, but this is meant for air frying alone. Heats up quick, easy to use and the food is easily accessible.
The capacity is great too.
My only nitpick is that smaller parts, like shoestring fries, fall through the holes and land in the bottom.

Cannot go wrong with this iMac. The M1 still now in 2023 is more power than you need for most things.
Get the 16GB RAM if you want it for development.

The Bowflex PR1000 home gym helps strengthen your muscles and add a bit of cardio training to the mix with over 25 strength exercises and a built-in rowing station. With up to 210 pounds of Power Rod resistance, this versatile machine helps work the abs, arms, chest, back, shoulders, and lower body.
 

Can you assemble this without the tower part? My ceiling is too low. I am not seeing in the images if that is one piece that the other resistor bars are connecting too. Basically, I would not care about the pull-down part.

Enhance the audio capability of your TV with this white Sonos Beam compact smart sound bar, which features voice activation through Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. Whether you're watching a movie or playing games, this system produces a wide spectrum of sound through four full-range woofers to fill every corner of the room. The plug-and-play feature of this Sonos Beam compact sound bar ensures easy setup.
 

1.) Is the SONOS sound bar (says Model S14 on the back )Generation One or two? 2.) My TV is an older Samsung, the HDMI link on the back does not say ARC, can I still set it up?

Not likely, it does however support Optical Audio and that should do the trick nicely too.
Not sure if that supports all audio formats.
