Subject: RE: BS: Why don't they make simple appliances?
I use a coffee plunger - no lights or electricity to worry about! The other night on local TV a bloke had some sort of handy little meter that he was plugging in to appliances on standby to show how much power they were drawing....it was quite frightening, 4 watts here, 6 watts there, here a watt, there a watt, everywhere a watt-watt, and we are paying for it in bigger power bills aren't we!
When My Trusty Old Singer sewing machine died a few years ago I bought My Lovely New Bernina...bells, whistles and fancy stitches....and I use them too. I like sewing.
