TTQ B4U

Now if only the fat fuck in front of me at the store who uses it because they won't put down the twinkies would just get out of my way, I'd be happy. Sadly though, that scooter is faster than some cars on CR.

Good luck with that. I'm sure you'll be fine but I've heard about these issues for a few years but having had to do the research recently I'm shocked. My wife's sister and a friend both have had their front load units serviced due to issues and in both cases the techs have told them that unless they leave the doors open and run cleaner through them monthly mold is inevitable. Makes sense and as noted, we've always left the lid of our top load units open. Something that is just common sense really. Much more ergonomically difficult though on a front load unit. Part of the smell is due to the residual water in the units, the other part of the smell is from the enzymes in the soaps that is necessary for the unit to clean the clothes since they are designed to use them. Those enzymes continue to break down and smell if the unit is not cleaned regularly. That soap also cleans the sensors inside of lime/calcium and the cleaners remove excess residue from them. In the end whenever I see a design like this that requires special soap to clean, care for sensors and even have aftermarket fans now being installed on the latest manufacturer designs, that tells me the initial design is flawed. Way too many band aids needed for a simple washing machine. I suspect over the coming years these HE Unit designs will change. Until then, it's clear by reading reviews that there are tons of issues. I mean I can dismiss some of them as user error, but when units break down inside 3-5 years that's a flag for me. Especially disappointing on something is not cheap.

Sell them only overseas include a warning able only in English. End that practice. Instead, drop them by airplane on our Arab enemies in hopes they will burn them for us. If anything does happen, blame China.

Me thinks they should require embedding all american flags with a lethal toxin that's released when burned.

That sound you hear Dan's car making is a 1000+ HP of no fucks given.

What's the purpose of this "campaign" anyway? Free speach? Really? That's the argument they are standing on? America...where you can speak freely....even if what you have to say is fucking dumb and serves no point. :dumb:.....and have a crowd of supporters defending your ability to spread stupidity freely.

thinking of going retro for my next update. http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-4N67sNEEJKY/Ta3o2w3sN1I/AAAAAAAAAHU/X8nQHWXMGbc/s1600/motorola-microtac-led-1_.jpg

CR Should charge $25 to join up. It will be refunded only if the intro post is done correctly. Keep it for track day events for the rest of CR otherwise. Ant, you'd be rich my man.....

get your iphone or droid to update your CR Location already :gabe:

You can always plastidip it :gabe:

Thanks! Late vs never as they say. That's okay. Hopefully this thread helps someone in the future. HD and their 10% off works too. In my case it didn't apply to GE but instead they had a chart of $xx dollars off products in $xx - $xx range. Mine was $50. Equated to about 9% off the sale price.

Apple's Maps is tied to Outlook and for me Motion X is tied to contacts. In sales we book all of our meetings in Outlook and in the location tab put the address. On the iDevice, just click on the calender entry and tap on the location that appears. It then hits the maps app and you can route from there. I use Motion X and instead just click on the name of the person I'm meeting with. That then generates a link to email or text to my coworker who then just clicks said link to have his/her Motion X route them to that location....that's if I'm meeting someone there. Wife and I use it together when coming from different locations. Again, the new maps app is okay for an improvement but still not up to to simple aftermarket apps.

We use the ones with no money....or one with a piles of bikes and toys next to the kids. I'd make one 1/2 way up the window. :gabe:

Home Depot won out. Search several online sites /stores for information on units and carefully read reviews. Stores included were: Lowes HD HHGregg Sears Best Buy ApplianceSmart Amazon mainly for additional reviews What I found is if you do go with an HE unit, top load is the way to go. We always leave our lid open anyway but that's the only way on any unit to dry it out. Front loaders are ergonomically a PIA as it's hard to leave the door open. Higher dollar ones have fans in them to dry out the units but require the door to be open still. HE Units - aren't perfected. Read the above sites and especially the reviews and you'll find that HE units by far are less reliable. LG is one of the worst for service and issues early on. Countless folks have noted them failing in less than 3 years. Sammy too but they even have issues getting parts! Both however received high marks for features and what not when working....key being when they worked. HE units - people use wrong soap or overload them all too often. Even with HE soap that contains the enzymes not all brands are made well or include the enzymes. Some bottles list "may contain" but may not. HE units - do need cleaned monthly as there are often many sensors inside that both soap residue and lime/calcium damage over time. In the end, reliability is key for me and HE units are just way too hit or miss and expensive to repair and also $300+ more up front. Just noting that not all are. Only the higher end models. The majority of Whirlpool and Maytag and GE's I looked at are still belt driven. What I ended up getting as a great deal from Home Depot. GE Adora Unit (link to this unit) http://www.pbase.com/timothylauro/image/146174712/original.jpg $598 less a $50 promo and free delivery and haul away which is nice. Bonus was an additional $50 rebate from AEP for being an energy star compliant. $498 in the end is a great price.

Restore your phone via iTunes to day one like functionality before you do the upgrade. I've had other say that fixed their battery drain issues. The only reason I restored on my 4s is I installed a Gold Master of iOS 6 last week. Zero difference in battery life to me. Counter to that, I've never done that, as most all mine were OTA normal updates. I did my wife's 4s like this yesterday using the OTA update and even hers is still the same in terms of battery life. I agree. I use Motion X Drive and TomTom. Motion still by far is the best one I've used. Tons more features, very intuitive and an interface even Apple can't duplicate.

Good feedback. I'm actually leaning towards a traditional non-HE unit. They are a bit smaller but then we have never had a larger one so oh well. Ours is 3.6cuft. and there are 3.9cuft ones so we do get a slight bump. Main reason thus far is reliability in both quality and cleaning. Traditional units just seem to be getting far better ratings online than HE units. In todays market you don't always get what you pay for and reading through all these reviews one has to think there's some truth to them. Upside is they are like $200-$400 cheaper for similar units.

What are your thoughts on the time it takes for the H.E. units to wash?

Our washer timer died yesterday and wife has been wanting a new set anyway. Not happy about dropping a ton of money so I'm hoping someone here either sells them and/or has a hook-up on them. Post up if you sell them or have insight on a good place to shop and models to look at. Much appreciated.

I use mine as an alarm clock so it's on my bed stand and when an a notification comes up it will not only wake the phone and display said notification, but it plays a sound. Before DND it wasn't easy to deal with it all. You'd have to own one and use it at night to understanding....

Full screen mode similar to Perfect Browser. I still like Perfect better as it's full screen mode stays in place all the time.

Same is said for the iPhone Cloud and push notifications of all their apps. No doubt nice but IMO not worth the trade off for battery life.

TomTom licensed their map data to Apple.

Should be on by default. Glad this is present now. Verizon yes, but not on AT&T

In post #9 you weren't following me so I made my point a bit more clear is all. I think all users know what's best for them, not just techies. My point wasn't really about what users see as best for them, it's about how Android based phone makers market the features to people. They tend to show-up-and-throw-up all the coolest whiz bang items thinking that's what works. In some cases it does. What's ironic is Apple while a very innovative company actually takes what others have done (ie. they weren't the first to the smart phone market nor music device market) yet they are credited with being more innovative than others because of how they take that technology to market. In many cases not even new markets.
