For example, if you have a lot of large bath towels that clump together, it can shake when it is spinning. On a regular load of clothes it should not be out of balance. This is a heavy unit that is normally very stable.

    DIY isn’t a good option in my opinion, even though it’s cheaper. Some alarm companies don’t do contracts, and these systems can be easily hacked, the ring alarm and simpisafe have been hacked before, and if you choose an alarm company instead of diy, your system is going to be installed by a professional who went through weeks of training.

    what nonsense. we're in a 1200 sqft tri-level. we have a smoke alarm in each level. no reason for interconnection. one goes off it will be heard in the entire house. the standard needs to be one smoke alarm per sq ft.

    • @Sdinspections
      @Sdinspections 2 місяці тому

      Yes, in a small house it seems redundant. But they have done studies that show that kids and teenagers can sleep through the alarms especially if the door is closed. The purpose of the alarm is to notify occupants as soon as possible to give everyone the best change of getting out of a structure. You may be a light sleeper, but the code addresses all possible occupants especially kids. That's why it is now required to have alarms in each sleeping room, and interconnected so that they all sound when one detects smoke. For people who cannot hear, there are special vibrating units that fix to the bed, and vibrate to alert them. A lot to consider.

    They have been using these in Europe for years, and there is a reason why they still hang their clothes to dry. The wash/dry cycle takes forever.

    • @Sdinspections
      @Sdinspections 2 місяці тому

      Surprisingly, this one does not suffer that problem. Not only does it dry quickly, but there is a condenser which draws more moisture out of the exhaust and drains it away. This is what makes it ventless, without adding humidity to the room. The water vapor is condensed and drained out. I was skeptical, but it works very well. And the trade off is great giving you more room and less attention is needed. It's also great if you have a short term rental or set your wash to run at night when time-of-use rates are lower. Set and forget, and your laundry is washed and dried when you wake up.

      No, they should not be placed in the kitchen. You would get false alarms due to steam, smoke, etc. The idea is that the alarm should be in areas where people sleep so as to wake them in the event of a fire. Presumably, you would not be asleep in the kitchen.
