Throwback Thursday: News Recap December 18, 2014

If you have been reading the W.L. May Blog but haven't checked us out on Facebook, Twitter or Google+, you may not be getting the whole story. We use all of those social media outlets to share news stories that relate to our industry as well as appliance tips we have found from other sources. Here is a recap of some of the top stories we have seen lately. It's been kind of a slow week for news, but there was a little bit. So without further ado:

We start with some consumer friendly articles we feel would be great for sharing:

• According to Consumer Reports, when it comes to dishwasher detergent, you don't always get what you pay for. LINK
• Useful maintenance tips from Womans Day. LINK
• Refrigerator maintenance basics from the Topeka Capitol Journal. LINK

Next, we look at the manufacturers and how they have been in the news recently:

• Are you ready for the heat pump clothes dryer? Whirlpool is expanding it's rollout to the West Coast. LINK

We found an article that might be of interest to those of you who love all things appliance:

• New appliances can make some people nostalgic. LINK

Sometimes, the links we post are related to technology, business or happenings on the internet:

• Forbes talked about smart refrigerators (and other appliances) and the hype they have gotten over the years. Their survey shows that, with advancing technology, consumers are gaining enthusiasm for the idea. LINK
• Have you ever wanted a robot to do your laundry? At Berkeley they are working on that. LINK

We close with a just-for-fun story:

• Some people have all the (bad) luck. An appeal to the universe. LINK
