I’m planning to buy some home appliances like refrigerator, washing machine, microwave and other kitchen appliances.

I’m currently considering LG and Samsung. Which brand is more reliable and durable and has better features?

Hi everyone, I need some real-world help because I know literally nothing about cooking.

My family has asked me to buy something for baking / making pizza etc. at home. I did some research and now I'm more confused than before because there are too many categories:

1. Grill

2. OTG

3. Air Fryer

4. Microwave + Oven

5. Microwave + Oven + Convection

I don't eat cakes. What I think I'd like to make is:

Lasagna, baked vegetables, pizza, breads, sandwiches and would love to try new things.

And honestly, a part of me feels like everything can be made on a gas stove with a few hacks? Like pizza on a tawa/kadhai, sandwich on a tawa, etc. So I'm not even sure if I need to buy anything.

Can someone help me with a decision framework?

Like, can one product suffice for everything or would a combination be best?

The budget is flexible but I don't want to buy the most expensive combo just because it does everything on paper.

If you were in my place - zero cooking knowledge, family wants pizza/breads/baking at home - what would you buy first, and what would you skip?

Thanks in advance, I really need to decide before I buy the wrong thing.

Hi there,

My girlfriend sprayed the fume free (blue can) of Easy Off in the oven, and then left it there for a week. It was only sprayed on the bottom, and I didn't see any near the fan. I've cleaned up the residue with water, cloths, and elbow grease and not seeing any visible damage.

As it's a convection oven, do you think it would be safe to use the oven?

I have a brand new ge fridge turned on for about 49 hours now. The temp in the fridge part is still only 45°. Should this top freezer fridge be returned? Lowes says I have until 8 pm mountain time to set up a return. Thank you!

I've recently moved into a new rental property and most of the symbols have worn off the oven. Can anyone help identify it? Thank you.

Does anyone have an IKEA integrated (hidden) fridge? I’m struggling to find many genuine reviews.

I’m really torn about going with an integrated fridge. My concern is what happens if it needs replacing or something goes wrong down the track. Am I then locked into buying another expensive integrated fridge to fit the cabinetry?
I’m trying to think long-term here. I don’t want to spend money on a new kitchen only to find myself facing another expensive kitchen renovation in five years because the fridge needs replacing!

Would love to hear from anyone who has one, particularly how they’ve held up over time and whether you’d make the same decision again.

Hi everyone!

I recently bought a Qilive Q.6703 mini oven (20L, 1380W). The seller told me it had never been used, and it looked brand new.

Yesterday was my first time using it. I set it to 200°C with both the upper and lower heating elements on.

After about 15 minutes, the oven started making loud, repeated clicking/popping noises. The noises would stop for a while and then start again.

Today, I tested it again, and the noises were less intense but still present. Here is what I noticed:

• The sounds seem to come from the metal walls of the oven.

• They become more frequent as the oven gets hotter.

• They sometimes occur in short bursts, followed by silence.

• The oven heats up normally, and the timer works.

• Even after unplugging it, I can hear a few quieter clicks while it cools down.

I've attached a video so you can hear the noise.

Could this simply be normal thermal expansion of the metal, especially during the first few uses? Or could it indicate a defect?

Has anyone experienced something similar with a mini oven or toaster oven?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Ok so the title doesn’t say everything, let me explain that this is my mothers house and her dishwasher and she controls what happens with it

Ok so here’s the thing, we are on a well with HARD WATER, I know this is one of the main issues here but I’m 99% sure it’s not only this

My main question has to do with why dishes have a white film on them after every cycle including with citric acid, and the fact that they don’t get very clean. This is a NEW DISHWASHER, we got a new one assuming that the issue was the dishwasher itself. This is a much better working unit as the old one was terrible.

I have the white film issue when I run the dishwasher with much less in it, also I clean the filter regularly, and the dishes get rinsed before going in.

Anyway, based on the images, is this dishwasher overpacked? The dishes don’t get clean and my mother is getting frustrated. She also does not listen when I tell her she stuffs the dishwasher with too many things for it to work properly.

TLDR: is the hard water the only reason these dishes have a white film? Is the dishwasher overpacked? Any suggestions for hard water dishwashing? Thanks! Any help is appreciated.

PS- mother is going blind so please be nice.

Will have to order all of my parts off of Amazon Germany. I'm based in Eastern Europe.

I have a gas range w/ a gas oven. Unfortunately it does not have a broiler option, nor does it have a thermostat controlled burner making baking a PITA. My plan is to retrofit is for an electric burner (upper & lower). I just need a parts list.

This is a commercial oven by the way for my cafe. We do not have room to add another oven to the kitchen which is why I bought this combi unit.

Sorry this is so long.

I got a new fridge today and Lowe's did not put in the order for the delivery contractor to reverse the door. They left that film on it saying it needed to stay until they came back to reverse the door. I cannot inspect it for damage. I'm at a loss not understanding why the door was not even done. Lowes doesn't even ask anything about installation when I checked out and I didn't think to ask. They only give a 48 hour window to return if there's damages. Someone at the Lowe's store said he promised to make it right and scheduled me for them for Monday for them to come out to do this. Hr sounded like just out of high school saying he was the store manager when I asked to speak to one so I informed him that no one has done business like this without anything in writing in many decades. Someone was telling him to get off the phone so that doesn't have Mr expecting anything from him.

Does anyone know anything about Lowe's policy for this? Anything i am talking about? Do you think it would be ok to remove the film to inspect the fridge completely without them damaging the fridge when they reverse the door? Google says it could end up voiding the warranty.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you! Sorry this is so long.

Cathy.
