SWEET
I like the strategy.
As an appliance tech of more than 30 years, I can attest that the new dishwashers do not work.
I held onto my old one and have a spare in the shed.
Genius, just come up with a new category name and you can work around the regulations.
The auto industry should try this. Exmple “Non-liberal voting people mover”.
Now we need to make Clothes Washers Great Again. HE clothes washers don’t clean clothes.
My dishwasher is still attached to my arms! lol
My hands!
Can we get special Irritable Bowel Syndrome toilets made under the Americans with Disability Act which can flush 3.5 gallons of water?
This is God’s. I wish the gubmint would scrap CAFE standards and start making cars people actually want.
My new house has an old dishwasher. Not pretty but man! does it know how to clean a dish.
What is this B.S. that regulations say they can’t be rolled back by a future administration? That needs to be tossed out on its ear.
How about making toilets and washing machines great again! The rats really now how to f up a good thing, now Im washing the detergent out of my clothes 2 to three times over and the toilet needs to be flushed a half dozen times to clear. Way to go geniuses!
Think about it. Flushing toilets that can handle a dachshund. Unrestricted shower heads that don't feel like you're being pissed on. (Amazing what a 3/8 drill can do.) Bright, cheap light bulbs. Cars that are cheap, easy to drive, and easy to maintain. Gas cans, without mandated "environmentally friendly" nozzles, that don't spill half the gas when pouring.
Even, dare I say it? Pump gas that doesn't rot every seal and gasket in your lawn mower, chain saw, outboard engine, and gives better mileage?
60 years of Federally mandated misery, gone with a pen stroke... Nah. Nevah Hoppen, GI...
I have a 40 yr roll-around dishwasher that sat in the basement for ~ 30 years after we moved into a house that already had a dishwasher.
That existing under-the-counter dishwasher eventually corroded to the point of leaking.
I converted the roll around unit to go under the counter and now have a continuation of of “Fast Dishwasher” service.
About a half hour to wash and rinse. Uses only hot water and plenty of it.
It’s truly a kitchen aide.
My MIL passed away recently.
She had a 1950’s Westinghouse refrigerator in her basement they bought new. Still ice cold.
I wanted it bad but my BIL had first dibs on it.
We just replaced our 8 year old model. Cost too much to repair.
I’ve gone through at least three of the “new” -type energy efficient dishwasher in the past 10 years.
The very old school dishwasher I have at my workplace is still working just fine after several decades almost daily use. It cleans dishes far better than the newer dishwashers and heats up and sterilizes the dishes like the “good old days” to the point you’ll burn your fingers if you don’t let the dishes cool off enough.
Sigh. Wish I could buy same for my home...
The biggest problem in clean dishes was removing phosphates from the detergent.
The best detergents had the highest phosphate content. But alas, phosphates in the waste water runoff causes algae blooms, so it’s gone.
They’ve fiddled with formulations and got fairly decent results but phosphates is where it’s at.
Clothes washers, that’s a whole different story.
Get a bottom of the line model top loader with an agitator and high fill levels.
“The regulation specifically included a clause saying no later administration could roll it back.”
That cannot possibly be constitutional!
Thanks so much for posting this! I seem to end up purchasing some kind of appliance every two years. As much as I hate extended warranties they seem like the best deal for me . Sigh
I'm sooooooo ready to turn in my "3 hour to wash a load" horror. Thank you President Trump... YOU can win on this issue alone... Next do washers that leave detergent in clothes because the rinse cycle was designed by liberal elites who send their clothes out to the cleaners... People too stupid to know a half gallon of water won't do the job.
