Piece-of-shit appliances

[snousle]

I figured out why our little under-counter fridge has such awful temperature control: the light does not go out when you shut the door. So the light warms everything on the top shelf.

Sigh. That probably burned a few hundred dollars of electricity over the past year, too. I cannot believe how crappy today's appliances are.

After accepting bribes from the Chinese fluorescent lamp lobby, the State Of California passed a law that goes into effect next year, which makes it mandatory that you replace your U.S. made gas-guzzling incandescent light bulb with a fine Chinese compact fluorescent unit.

This will burn cool, and will consume so little energy that you can leave it on forever!

Your problem solved by your government in action!!
