If you remember, take a picture of the existing dryer plug on the wall so you know which type of plug to purchase if you plan on replacing it. Make sure before you leave the store that you have an electrical cord in which to connect this with as every dryer I have ever purchased does NOT come with the electrical cord with it. I'm guessing this is likely because there are quite a few different versions of plugs in each house for various types of dryers. You install the cord on this you will also need a Phillips screwdriver. I used my cordless drill when I performed this operation. In my "DIY Maytag Centennial Brand Clothing Dryer Installation Including Power Cord [Maytag Dryer Installation Tutorial" video I take you step by step through the process of making it happen. While you are setting up your new dryer it may be a good time to clean out the lint in the dryer's vent duct.

DIY How to Remove and Clean Clothes Dryer Vent Ducting for Fire Prevention
In this DIY How to Remove and Clean Clothes Dryer Vent Ducting for Fire Prevention Video I take you step by step through this simple yet necessary process. Many fires are started every year from lack of cleaning of dryer vent ducts. Once this method and processed is used, your ducting will be just like new. The first thing to do is remove and replace the slinky looking aluminum vent that connects the dryer to the hard vent. This is usually accomplished by the loosening and removal of the large hose clamp, typically a flathead fastener.
Once I got this old dryer vent removed I used my shop vac and got the big stuff out. If you are not planning on disassembling the whole thing you need to be able to have enough shop vac hose to reach the full length of the whole vent run or at least enough so that you can reach the remaining distance from the outside or opposite side. In the case in the video I decided to remove the whole thing and actually replace the old vent with brand new stuff. The existing was at least 20 years old and was corroded, old and sagging. If you wanted to re-use the existing vent ducting and remove it for cleaning, bring it outside and blow it out with an air compressor. There is a good chance you'll still have some scum that won't readily blow out with an air compressor so you'll need to figure out how to manually remove it. Many times this can be done with a rag or some type of cleaning brush. If you don't remove the old scum and reinstall it, it will be a starting point for new dryer vent bi-products to accumulate reducing the time that you'll need to clean it out again. When reinstalling be sure that the seams are facing the direction of flow so it won't be a sticking point for debris to collect. Once you get your vent ducting run all cleaned out and re-assembled it will give you piece of mind that you've reduced the chances of a dryer vent duct fire.

What's Inside? Phillips Brand Airfryer-Complete Tear Down Take Apart Dis...
To satisfy curiosity I completed this total disassembly of a Phillips Brand Airfryer. This is actually pretty tough to get apart so I had to destructively rip much of it apart. I must say that we use our Phillips Airfryer regularly for almost all types of foods and I would highly recommend this to anyone.
The power function still worked on this thing but it was very well used and caked with years charred food remnant. It was time to see inside one of these.
The main parts of this things is the cooking (heating) element, the oven portion, and the fan. There are some supporting elements of this such as LED lights and a timer. It's a slick unit. No wonder they sell so many of these because they do work very well.

Phillips Air Fryer-Frozen Hot Chicken Party Wings Super Quickly Prepared
Watch my amazing Phillips Air Fryer-Frozen Hot Chicken Party Wings Video. Quickly prepare wings more than ever before. This must-have appliance is an essential part of my kitchen now and I highly recommend it be part of yours. This comes in so handy when it's nasty outside and don't feel like grilling. It's great when I want the crispness of an fried or oven cooked chicken wing yet will have the speed of a microwave. For the meal prepared in this video I used some pre-seasoned wings. They were called wings of fire. I put them right into the air fryer frozen. I made sure that I didn't stack them but gave enough room around each one so they could cook properly. This contraption is so easy to use it's unbelievable. Just put the wings in, adjust your cooking temp setting, and push the button. You will have fresh crispy party wings in record time. I use this for hamburgers, fries, veggies, pork chops, and many other things. For this particular dish, I ate these tasty treats with some homemade ranch dressing and a couple sticks of celery. I used some Franks Red Hot Buffalo Wing sauce on the side too.
The clean up at the end is so easy as well. There is a non stick surface under the removable cooking screen that makes for ease of food removal in no time flat.

Deco Gear "Chef" Rapid Electric Portable Stainless Party Ice Maker- Unbo...
This great little portable Electric "Chef" Deco Gear Brand Party Ice Maker has been amazingly easy to unbox and set up. The video shows how easy it is to unbox this unit and quickly make some ice. To get right down to it, it has been one of the easiest appliances to "assemble" and use that I've ever purchased. It does everything it said it would and actually efficiently and quickly makes ice. It always makes us, as consumers, happy when the contraption you buy does exactly what it says without fail or disappointment.
We use quite a bit of ice around our house for our drinks and our smoothies.
As far as simplicity and ease of use, I would recommend this electric ice maker to anyone who is in the market for one. I will update this description and post down the road to follow up how it stands the test of time. If it breaks tomorrow I'll update this at the beginning of the description. So if you are reading this and there is nothing saying differently at the very beginning of this description, than it has been running full time and still going.
One of the nice functions of this thing is that as the ice slightly melts after being made it slowly drips back down into the reservoir which makes it so all of your ice doesn't stick together. You always have the small or larger piece of ice that this machine makes.
In the video I demonstrate what the assembly guide recommends, and that's making sure that the reservoir plug on the bottom is plugged in. I really didn't need to tighten it up anymore as it was already tight. I guess there's a chance that is came loose during shipping, however, you'll know it right away it it's loose because you may get a little water out the bottom
