If you stay down in the low 80+ eff range you can still buy good cast iron boilers. All cast iron boilers are built to the A.M.S.E code so the casting have to be of a proper thickness. If you take the outer metal of these different brands the casting will be about the same. You can buy these Hi eff steel boilers with there 10 year life span. A cast iron boiler wares from the inside out. Where the water turns inside the boiler it wares into the casting, so the cleaner the water the less ware you will have in your boiler. later paulbm

ha - maybe it would be a good idea to put the site??? WWW.THEAPPLIANCEREVIEW.COM Thanks again everyone -

I must say that, having now tried all varieties of the Boost pods, the only ones I like are the unscented and the Victory Sport. The (now discontinued) original scent is dreadful and the Bleach Alternative scent is pleasant enough in the bag but really lingers on the fabric even after several rinses and drying. The Victory Sport does not linger. It's very light and what remains on the clothing is actually much more crisp and herbal than how it smells inside the bag. It's very nice!

I know that I often prefer Anthropologie for many reasons, one of them being reviews. Very helpful. I write there reviews myself when I feel up to it:) They all got published, whether they contained high praise or harsh critics..except for one, but I must say that I wrote it after being unfairly scolded by my Mom(it was a present for SIL, and there was a mistake which I never encountered before-two shams of different sizes, very nicely packed together so I never opened them), so I clearly wasn't thinking right, and provided too much TMI lol. I do prefer sites that allow for reviews(like Etsy, or Amazon, or Wayfair, or Urban Outfitters, or Saks, or TripAdvisor..whatever they specialize in)..one learns to read between the lines, and react to the most important things. I agree with 3katz4me..you can see pretty well what reviews are truly helpful. Some reviews are plainly fun to read-the ones about books for example I never put an itinerary together without scanning a hundred or so reviews, and that's how we usually are very happy with our vacations.
