Hi Kelly, I am happy you are feeling better. I pray for you and hope all will turn out well. What type of Combo did you see at sears? I didn't think sears carried any combos. I regreat getting rid of my Equator. I probably would not ever buy another combo. I had built plumbing into a closet so I could have the LG TROMM combo. What a mistake. I had seen it and wanted it no matter what. Sometimes it's not worth wishing for something that badly. I had had the Equator in the Kitchen under a counter. I put a cabinet in it's place. If I do have to replace the LG I will probably just get a FL like a Frigmore or Affinity. I hang a lot of laundry anyway. Maybe I would get a portable dryer that I would have to put in another area because I have no room in the closet and also I cannot vent from their. It is really ashame a USA company doesn't make a big combo. We used to have them and I think they should make them in 110V and 120V. Hang in and Best Wishes Peter |

You can find those "indoor" drying units, especially on fleaBay, but one is really better off sticking the vent hose out a window. Used one with a GE Spacemaker dryer had years ago, and it filled the kitchen with lint, and made the house like a sauna. Opening windows takes care of the humidity, but there still was all that link. Water in the bottom of a bucket does not attrack nor hold that much lint. L. |

Tom, do you think the Samsung/Maytag machine at Home Depot would be capable of washing, let's say, a twin-sized comforter? |

COOL! When my house finally sells and I go back to a rental, I was thinking I'd have to do the compact-dryer-with-a-tablecloth over-it-as-an-end table routine. I'd have to hide the appliances as well, and I fear dryer water-vapor "smoke" in the winter, when they hose is hanging out the window. (Can you get arrested for that? *LOL*] Oh well out comes the drying rack with a portable mechanical dryer only to heat, dewrinkle and fluff after a line-dry! Let us know Kelly how it all pans out! Hope you have a 20a line and a heavy duty 20a outlet! |

~Toggle....ever seen some of the VERY upmarket appliances that are being installed in ordinary Fedders houses in places like Williamsburg. As Manhattan rents continue to skyrocket the suburbanites are willing to do the bridge & tunnel thing for Brooklyn and Queens, as long as it's urban, old, ugly and densely packed trendy, yuppy and near the city. As you may know when the rent, reaches $2,000 per moth the apt then become free of NYC rent-regulations, forever. The law also allows a landlord to charge 1/40 of the cost of renovations as monthly rent. Therefore, landlords are going crazy spendng riduculous sums to get the rents to (just over) $2,000 per month. Washers, dryers, dishwashers, granite, marble, central air gold-plated faucets, fireplaces, fancy stoves and refrigerators, hi-hats, ceiling fans, you NAME it. It is QUITE bizarro that these types of things are going into neighborhoods where the natives will grafitti or urinate on your momma if she stands still long enough.

No, Toggle that is not correct. A rent stablised apartment *can* become deregulated if the follow conditions apply: legal rent must arrive at $2,000/month AND the tenant's income is $200,000 per year for two years. Landlord must file papers to request deregulation and the tenant must respond within a certian period of time if his/her rent/income does not meet said guidlines. Now, if a vacant apartment can be made to rent for over $2,000 then it can become deregulated, and perhaps that is what you are thinking of. In such cases, yes landlords will do extensive renovations/work in order to get the legal rent up to or over $2,000. L. |

NYC laundromats/laundry applinaces. Many new buildings are either installing laundryrooms, or allowing washer/dryer connections. The later mainly applies to condo's as developers compete in a crowded market and buyers are demanding their own washer and dryer in house. No one is building rental units, but for upscale rental buildings or landlords seeking to justify huge rents, are installing "route" laundromat equipment in laundryrooms/basements. Many rental buildings and for that matter apartment buildings still have such old plumbing that allowing many people with washers would overwhelm the system. Dishwashers use less water so that seems to be less of a problem. Laundromats, at least in Manhattan are a dying breed. Space costs too dear, and landlords do not want them, or even dry cleaning stores. Most new laundry/dry cleaning services opening in Manhattan are drop off stores that use wholesale laundries. L. |

~In some places, not having your own machine would be unthinkable... Yes poor, high-crime areas. Where you would not think of going out for any reason. I go to places like that frequently for work. I see washers under vinyl dust covers. Here my vintage GE FF is modeling one. After all a $400 washer is the most expensive thing some will ever own, except of course after the flat panel 2,000 inch television. |
