What Frustrates Me About Modern Appliances

Thank you for that video! I'll tell you what really frustrates me with modern machines these days - build quality has dropped way down over the last years. Even high end brands have experienced a significant drop. So frustrating!

Really interesting video. My issue is washing machines dealing with unbalanced loads. So annoying. The machine should be able to spin without a perfect load balance.

Lords Electrical is a page for me that began as an asmr source, but over time, became a source for appliance information. I have can genuinely say that I have used this channel for sleep and tech info purposes. It has been an ongoing relationship with this channel and I can’t wait to see what else Mr. Electrical has in store next! Cheers!

Love this video mate, a part 2 would be grand. My annoyances are: - unnecessary single use packaging on products, just give us compostable plain cardboard - things getting stuck in the door crease in washing machines - when the floor head of a hoover is really low and can't be adjusted so ends up just pushing dirt around

Excellent video as ever

Excellent video; agree with all of your points. I’d add access to the battery on a gas cooker (mines underneath and requires the cooker to be tipped back…crazy design!). Thank you. Like the new Ninja AF with vertical drawers.

Very well done! Agree totally!

I have mainly Hotpoint appliances and my biggest bug bear with my Hoptoint washing machine is that when you put it on a short wash the spin speed is reduced to 800rpm and it doesn't remove enough water from the washing and you have to put it back on after the cycle for the full 1400rpm spin speed. and the other annoying thing is you can't adjust the spin speed as it is set for each programme and the display shows it is the full 1400 spin speed yet the user manual says its the reduced 800 spin speed. I will certainly think twice about a Hotpoint for my next machine.

It frustrates me that the suspension / shock absorbers of washing machines break so easily. And that you cannot set the alarm sound at the end of the program loud enough. I want to get my clothes out before they wrinkle. Why can it not be as loud as on my dish washer? I don't even need it on my dish washer. I agree with you about ovens and freezers.

Aggressive asmr

I am glad I have a Top Loading Washing Machine. I only use cold water. I never use hot water or lukewarm water, as there is no need for this. My machine also weighs the clothing and adds enough water for the wash, even though I don't use that cycle. I estimate the level of water required for the wash. Job done in under 40 minutes !

Great vid. My pet peeve is not being able to change e.g. time or temp on pre-programmed settings on my washing machine. I understand that the manufacturer has designed that programme to run at that time/temp for the desired outcome but it should be MY choice whether I then choose to change the properties of the wash. For example I don’t want to run my eco wash on 40 (it’s unnecessary to be that high and I want it at 30 or below)…but I can’t edit it. If a wash is 3+hours, I think it’ll ultimately still be clean enough whether at 40 or 30!😠

Fantastic videos with excellent information & such a help when choosing products

Frost free can be good and bad. Besides losing space, it's more prone to problems. I have a duplex with frost free and I had it in a room where I would not turn the heat on and it would run below 10 Celsius in the winter, therefore it was unable to thaw properly and got clogged. Then, it would give me a puddle of water below it and there weren't instructions anywhere around what to do, so I had to disassemble it and find out there was too much ice behind the plastic. If it were a traditional freezer I'd have seen the ice and I would be able to be sure there were no clogs or ice that wasn't properly thawed and fix it quickly. I think that the "low ice" solution you mention is probably better. I didn't know frost free was less energy efficient. To be honest, I am happy with my horizontal freezer, much cheaper to run, much higher capacity, a bit less convenient to take things in and out, as it has no shelves. Now that I am thinking about it, I have basically one of each kind (duplex, horizontal and full height vertical). 😁 One thing that frustrates me is being unable to use my washer to clean my Queen size duvets, even though it is an 8 Kg machine. I wish I knew in advance, so I could have bought a 12 Kg version.

Your videos are great keep up the good work

I think one you might of missed is to do with heat pump tumble dryers. When you have to clean the heat exchanger at the bottom of lint. Yes you have the normal lint trap near the door. However now you also have to clean the heat exchanger at the bottom every week. Mines the Samsung series 9 heat pump version. I have noticed some other makes have a second lint trap near the heat exchanger.

8:20 a few years ago i bought a tumble dryer with heat exchanger,when i called to the seller for some info,they litteraly told me it would be best to go on you Tube and search for the instructions there... 🤔

Fridges with tiny gaps instead of a fixed join- takes so much time to get crumb like pieces of a veg (like broccoli) out of those gaps. Aaarrgh! Actually, all the appliances with hard to get to bits to clean that have me waste my time searching for brushes etc that fit well enough into those spaces.

i don't like frost-free freezers. as part of a fridge, it makes sense but the food always ends up with freezer burn. never have that problem in a manual defrost freezer

Mine is washing machine, mine is a Bosch ( and happy with the results), but I find it complicated when it comes to cleaning the filter at the base of the machine, the instructions are not easy to follow. It also means you have to remove and replace the base board which in my case isn’t easy. ;(((
