The GE Frontload Washer

A washing machine with an agitator can last a long time if it is a good one. Washing machines are not made as good as they use to be made. The knobs are plastic and can wear out so quickly. You can not put as many clothes in a washing machine as you wish without clothes wrapping around the agitator.  When the timer wears out, the timer will not click and go to the next step. Your machine will not drain or spin. You will have to pay someone to fix the washing machine and replace the parts. It might cost you a lot of money. So you might as well buy a whole new washing machine.

My washing machine was a Whirlpool with an agitator. It lasted me up to seven years. But my next new washing machine is a heavy duty GE frontload washer.



Washer Features

GE is a great brand name that has been around for years. I trust GE. The cycle knob is very light weight and it lights up when you turn on the machine. You will see your wash cycles. The wash cycles are for specific types of wash loads. You have whites, colors/normal, stain wash, easy care, active wear, delicates, handwash, speed wash, drain and spin, and rinse and spin.

On the washer, there is a soil level which increases or decreases the wash time to remove different amounts of soil. You can choose between extra light, light, normal or heavy soil.

The 3rd feature the washer has is spin speed. The machine has a high speed, medium speed, low speed, and no spin. Higher spin speeds remove more water from clothes and will help reduce dry time.

Nu-Wave Oven

For many days, when my mother was alive, I would watch her cook. She was a great cook. It seemed no one could beat her cooking. It was her hobby, and she loved cooking. Well, it wasn’t mine, and my mother made cooking look so hard. She cooked everything from scratch. I only wanted to learn because I knew that some day I would be on my own. Sometimes my mother would say, “Gail, I don’t have time to teach you this today. I am ready to cook it and get it out of the way. But you can watch and learn. There is nothing to cooking. You just read the recipe and put what you want. You just throw it together.” My mother made it sound so easy.

When she was teaching me how to cook, I dreaded waiting for the chicken to unthaw. I dreaded cleaning the chicken. My mother taught me how to split the chicken down the middle and she taught me to use  paprika, salt, and pepper. I would put the unions and carrots in the roaster pan along with the chicken into the oven. It smelled so good. We cooked on a gas stove, and the heat was so hot when it was time to open the oven. Those were my days of cooking in the 90’s watching and learning from my mother.

Now, cooking is made to be a lot easier. In the year of 2007, I found out about a Nu-Wave Oven. It is a counter top oven that reminds me of a microwave oven and a grill all in one. So with the Nu-Wav oven, you don’t need to turn on the gas or electric stove, you don’t need to go outside to grill, and you don’t have to use the microwave to cook. You can cook your food frozen without defrosting with the Nu-Wav. It leaves your food moist, juicy, and tender. You can just place your food into the oven and push buttons on the top and go. You can set it to the desired time on how long you want something to cook. The oven can  help you to lower fat intake to eat healthier. You can bake, broil, roast, grill, barbeque, steam, dehydrate, and fry right on your counter top.

I only have one thing to say. Nu-Wave! Where were you in the 90’s! What took you so long! Glad you are here!
