Yeah, and you know . . . there is a tremendous amount of BS and hype with that deal when in comes to efficiency ratings. Many of these new appliances save very little energy as compared to some made 10-20 years ago. I've tested many and was both surprised and very disappointed. Especially with refrigerators and freezers. I replaced a 1948 International Harvester freezer with a new "Energy Star" rated unit, and saved just about nothing in energy use. Same goes with our new refrigerator. Basically I fell for the hype, but didn't find out until later after I tested the new appliances for current useage over time.

I see the "cash for clunker" appliance program just as corrupt as most others. It's a "make sale" program for store owners and a "make work" program for factories.
I also wonder how many jacked up their prices slowly in anticipation of this great event - so now they can "lower" them.

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
