  1. If you are in the #Regina #SK area, there is a Repair Cafe happening this coming Saturday (16 May), located in the George Bothwell library in the Southland Mall.

    This one is a bit special: it's part of a larger event that's happening, the Climate Expo. There are a bunch of other things going on as part of it, but one is that Bike Regina will also be there, fixing and tuning up bicycles.

    I'll be there, fixing electronics, small appliances, and random other things, but I'm just a volunteer, not an organizer or official spokesperson. There will be the usual array of other fixers repairing sewing, knitting, game consoles and controllers, jewellery, and other things.

    There's also going to be a teardown table for the kids to have fun with ripping stuff apart to see what makes it tick.

    So come give your stuff a second lease on life. Keep it out of the landfill, and as a bonus, stick it to the manufacturer that made it just good enough so that it died right after the warranty expired 😜 .

    Walk-ins are welcome, but you can also book a spot in advance here:

  6. Whirlpool warns of a "recession-level" downturn as the Iran conflict and a tariff ruling dampen demand. The appliance giant trimmed its earnings outlook, tacked on a 10% price rise and plans another 4% hike as Americans delay big-ticket buys. #economy #appliances

    "Using vertical doors in refrigeration devices is an act against the Nature of Cold Air. Understanding and cooperating with Nature rather than acting against it leads to much better efficiency."

  10. So, just finished this month's Repair Cafe in #Regina.

    There's a depressing pattern where small #appliances, typically #kitchen stuff, fail after just a year or so. The warranties are invariably one year. Nobody, especially the manufacturer, offers service - "Just buy a new one, it's cheaper" is the refrain. Of course, we're trying to "reduce, re-use, recycle" and keep this stuff out of the #landfill.

    Even trying to service them is a pain, and sometimes impossible. The cases/shells of modern stuff are frequently absolute b*stards to take apart, and really new stuff now features "one-way clips" - there's literally no way to unclip the shell after it's been clicked together at the factory. You can't access the latching bit, so you have to force it and break the #clip, and then #bodge it back together somehow.

    Mandating a longer #warranty, like in the EU - two years, three? - would help, because stuff would have to be designed better.

    The two most frustrating from today:

    1) A Keurig coffee maker, used twice, a year old. Got it apart, it had leaked water onto the back of the (massively #overcomplicated) CPU board, and shorted it out. Poof, magic smoke gone, tears in the rain, time to die, etc. Who puts the CPU directly under a join in the #water pipe?

    2) A gas-powered leaf blower. Fuel line rotted, but to be able to feed new one through from the carburetor to the fuel tank, you have to take the shell apart - which requires disassembling the engine!

  15. Anyway, if you need a washer or dryer and are nearby, this person in Camarillo *probably* has one for really cheap. If you talk to their spouse, I suspect you could ALSO get an extra extra extra good deal to get them out of the garage and backyard, lol.

  30. #Appliances #CarpetCleaners #HomeMaintenance . . .

    I'm a reluctant #HouseKeeper. I seldom vacuum or clean my carpets or dust unless the "need" is obvious & even then I'll procrastinate about it.

    Well, I finally decided that my carpets needed cleaning. So, I endeavored to find the "right" carpet cleaner to buy. #Bissell & #Hoover dominate this market & when I did the research on the "best" carpet cleaner to buy, the "reviews" were inconsistent.

    So, I just threw caution to the wind & bought the one that I was most attracted to (for relevant & irrelevant reasons) BUT, while I usually do NOT buy extended product warranty for the things that I buy, I bought 1 for this item because more than enough people report them failing in less than a year & because I've owned a carpet cleaner before that did the same thing.

    Fingers crossed that it lasts long enough for at least 1 extensive use to clean my carpets, the cost of which hopefully will be less than it would have cost to rent one.
