Tracfone air cards are a good deal

Verified Purchase:Yes
Tracfone air cards are a good deal. For $20, I get 90 days of service. With my Alcatel Pixi Pulsar smartphone, I get 180 minutes of talk, 180 texts and 180 MB of 4G data with that. That is suitable for me, because I usually use WiFi for data, and doing that doesn't deplete the 180 MB allowance. Tracfone allows unused data, talk and minutes to be accumulated as long as one adds a new $20 card before the last one expires. As a result, I have accumulated a few GB of data on my account now. If I needed more data, I could buy a $10 Tracfone card giving 1 GB of data. In any case, Tracfone provides a good way of being able to use a smartphone for less than $7 per month.

An excellent installation experience

The two dishwasher installers came at the beginning of the promised window. They were friendly, courteous, and efficient as they installed the dishwasher. There have been no problems with the installation, which was over a month ago.

Cut down on time spent ironing with this electric dryer that features a Wrinkle Shield option. The 7.0 cu. ft. capacity handles large loads, and 13 automatic cycles provide drying options for a wide variety of fabrics.

A good clothes dryer that does what it needs to do
on October 11, 2013

This Whirlpool clothes dryer gets clothes reasonably dry in a reasonable time. It doesn't have a moisture sensor, but it does have a way of making a good approximation of how long it will take the clothes to dry (assuming I don't use the setting for the dryer to be on a specified number of minutes). When I use the setting that the dryer estimates how long it should run to dry the clothes (which I understand is based on their weight), the dryer automatically tumble dries the clothes with no heat for the last ten or so minutes. That saves energy and results in the clothes not being hot when I take them out of the dryer.
Perhaps not having a moisture sensor is a good thing. My old dryer had a moisture sensor that didn't always work. Sometimes, it would run for hours without noticing that the clothes were already dry. The clothes would be really hot when I stopped the dryer, and I'm lucky that the moisture sensor malfunction didn't cause a fire.

re "energy" setting?

The salesperson said the "energy" setting is a moisture sensor, however I just looked at the specs, and it says it does NOT have a moisture sensor. So what does the energy setting do or for? How does it DIFFER from a moisture sensor?
I was told that the dryer estimates the weight of the clothes (including the water they include) initially, and uses that estimate to determine how long it should run in order to dry the clothes. As a result, sometimes the clothes aren't completely dry when the dryer stops. In that case, I just turn it on again for another 10 or so minutes.
Perhaps not having a moisture sensor could be beneficial. The moisture sensor in my old dryer sometimes didn't notice that the clothes were dry, and the dryer would run for hours. When I manually turned it off, the clothes would be really hot. I'm lucky that didn't cause a fire.
