  • Make Your Window Air Conditioner Way More Efficient for Under $20

  • His method would work well, but using spray expanding foam in a finished interior space is something that I would not be comfortable to do. That stuff is so hard to contain and is permanent if it gets on anything that isn't expendable.

  • Is it too late to plant raspberry bushes as a novice gardener?

  • What's your source of canes? If they're free from a neighbor/friend and you can get more later, and the only thing you have to lose is water and effort, then give it a shot. If I were paying for them I would wait for when they are dormant in the fall/early spring.

  • I love having raspberry bushes, but having them take over an entire yard is nightmare material. They are thorny, grow fast and choke out everything except the mulberry basal shoots. They would be near impossible to elliminate except by killing everything and starting over.

    I love the all in one concept, but this machine has made me reluctant to get one again.

    There's a GE all in one with heat pump drying that I think would be the functionality I want, but the machine is huge.

  • Anecdotally, I loathe my LG and am trying to figure out what to replace it with.

    I have replaced the drain pump on it 5 times, because they did a terrible job designing the strainer basket, and the impeller is very fragile. It only takes a few strands of long hair to reach 3/4" past the strainer basket to tangle and break the impeller.

    It's also an all in one, but the dryer functionality was clearly designed as a bolt on afterthought. There's no lint filter so inevitably lint builds up and choked off airflow. Then the air temp gets hot enough to melt the front boot.

    When we first got the unit, our 40psi water pressure ruptured two internal hoses because lg couldn't be bothered to use fiber reinforced hoses. Dealing with potential water damage so lg could save a few cents is not worth it.

    I will actively avoid LG going forward.

  • any advice on buying a window AC unit?

    Jump

  • I don't have information specific to midea, so there is some speculation, but I do have a ge unit which does outright say that the water condensate is slung across the condenser coil to boost efficiency. And yes, my ge unit got really nasty and I ended up drilling a hole in the base of the condensate pan to drain all the water.

    Heat pump efficiency is limited by the temperature delta across the compressor. The larger the temperature delta, the less efficient a heat pump is. Evaporating water off the condenser coil drops the refrigerant temperature compared to air only and gives a small boost to efficiency. I don't think it's a big difference, but it's enough to be worthwhile doing if you can "get it for free." Unfortunately, a constantly cool and wet pool is a great breeding ground for mold and pathogens that you don't want airborne.

    As for cleaning ease, I based that off of comments (on reddit I think), recommending people push midea to pay for a technician to perform the fix because taking it apart for a thorough cleaning is a hassle. So I have no firsthand experience there and I'll defer to your judgement.

  • I don't have one of that type, so I haven't contacted them. I was thinking about getting a unit like that, but then found out why they weren't in stock anywhere.

    I think the lack of drain was intentional so that the water wiuld splash up on the condenser coil. An AC unit generates a lot more water than a refrigerator though, so I think any design with a condensate basin below the condenser coil will have mold problems. The other issue is they didn't make the unit very serviceable, so opening it up to clean out mold sounds like a huge hassle. Draining the water away will mean the units won't be as efficient as originally designed, but mold can be a major health hazard.

  • The U shaped units manufactured by midea were all recalled and are not currently available for sale.

    You might want to look up the recall and get the repair kit. They were recalled for excessive mold build up.

  • How to fix ripped desktop antenna?

    Jump

  • They are coaxial so you would have to carefully solder both the center wire and outer shield and keep the two from having electrical contact. Even if you manage to do that, there will be an impedance mismatch that might really degrade signal strength.

    I would personally just shop for replacement antennae.

  • This is an x-y problem. You are asking about methods of placement when your actual concern is methods of accountability. Choosing someone else in the next election isn't accountability, it's a flimsy escape mechanism. Both methods of placement won't be able to correct for a bad actor without further protections from independent/external authority.
