Well, hello appliances! Is that gas under the skillet? It sure is! Goodbye electric coils of confusion.
And an oven that actually bakes things? Well, sort of. I think we've figured it out, but it's in celsius, so we're really hoping that 180 will actually do something other than kinda warm things up. And then there's the washer/dryer combo. The washer works great, although it still takes a good 2+ hours to wash a small load. And the dryer... well, it has presented a bit of a conundrum. It doesn't "dry" so much. It just spins like hell for hours until all of the water is removed by pure centrifugal force, or at least that's what I imagine it's doing. We did a good three loads of laundry today. By the time we made it to the third dryer cycle, the damn thing kept beeping at us until we finally figured out that "vidange reservoir" means "empty tank." Of course we had no idea what "tank" it was referring to. It turns out that that the process of spinning like hell to dry clothes pushes the water into a central reservoir, which we are supposed to empty after every load. This would never fly in the US... but for us, it's better than hanging crunchy clothes to dry all over the bathroom. Welcome back, appliances. I've missed you.
