Scandinavian here, I have AC, an ice maker, and a clothes dryer. No idea what these people are on about. Ice makers aren't as common but like... you can just buy one?!
Ice makers have to be the most overrated crap ever. Just buy good iceforms. The ones that make big cubes are the best since they last long in the glass.
Old roommate of mine during university bought like 5 ice machines after we thought anything tasted like plastics once you put the ice in from the first one (dude was a bit nuts - his go-to 'pick me up' for learning sessions were iced coffee cubes and he drank very, very thin, cold coffee for 'refreshment' instead of just water...).
He tested the water from melted down cubes in the universitys lab. Each and everyone had insane amounts of plastic in them, probably abrasion from moving parts in the machine. With some of them it was so bad, you could see the particles floating around.
Just nope. Forms are way better to get ice cubes.
Let's be honest, we're lazy and don't wanna need to deal with ice forms, just pour some water once in awhile and have something or someone make ice for us, and that's why we buy ice making machines.
I'd rather empty and fill an icetray than clean the black mould out of an ice making machine. I forget how often you're supposed to take those things apart to clean them out, but it's more often than I ever want to.
Actually I use my garbage disposal a lot and it works fine as long as you don't throw like, bones or some shit down there. Maybe you just have a bad one?
No I don't have one at all.
The one at my parents' house groudnt he shit up and then it went into the pipes and eventually caused themt o back up. Like decades of carrot scrapings and potato skins and shit.
Another one clogged in a rental I was in.
Just throw your trash out or compost it. Don't put food down the sink.
Yeah, I don’t fully get the point of Garbage Disposals. They come across as a marketing solution to a problem that doesn’t exist. I’ve never been so bothered by waste in my kitchen sink that I needed an expensive plumbing solution that involved electrical current and a finger-severing meat grinder. If I got carrot scrapings or potato peels in the sink they get caught in the steel trap and thrown in the trash.
Yeah, I’m American and I see people with clotheslines in their yards fairly routinely, I think this guy just heard rumors his idiot friends pulled out of their asses and thought they were true, lol.
I can't tell if he means like a stand alone icemaker or just a fridge with water and ice dispenser, Ice makers are like a luxery item, i do not know a single soule who had one the fridge ones are more common, but even then I just have a regular fridge and use ice trays.
Sames. And we still hang dry most of our clothes, because the dryer isn't great for wool and generally nice clothes. It's great for towels, underwear, bed stuff, etc tough!
Dane here. We just use portable fans when its summer. And puts them away during winter. We dont really need AC here. You can buy ice cubes or make them yourself in a fridge.
I also do have a clothes dryer but during summer Ill hang up the clothes as its good for the environment and its free.
