Spirit Airlines Crushed My New Samsonite FrameLock Suitcase! Claiming "Normal Wear & Tear" No Way!!
Spirit Airlines crushed my brand new FrameLock Samsonite Suitcase. They will not pay for it and simply claim that this is normal wear and tear that a case undergoes when flying. This is clearly not normal wear, or baggage handling, for any airline. It's not even clear how they damaged the suitcase so badly. It's a Samsonite hard-sided case. Anyone have any good theories as to what Spirit Airlines did to this brand new suitcase? Smashed between two doors? A gate closed on it? How did the bottom of the case get so damaged? How did the handle area develop a dent and a bump? Why is the suitcase unstable now? Most importantly, how could Spirit customer service claim that this is normal? How can they not attempt to make this right by the customer? This is just one more reason (on top of their renown flight delays and cheap airplanes- no t.v. screens, no snacks, etc.). Their tickets aren't cheap anymore when you factor in the charges for carry-on luggage and a checked bag. The checked bag can't way more than 40lbs by the way. Other airlines allow 50 pounds for checked bags. Anyway, Spirit Airlines damaged this suitcase beyond repair, and will not do anything about it. Has this happened to you? Were you successful in getting some compensation from Spirit? Any advice? To me, this is terrible customer service. By the way, good luck calling their baggage claim number. I tried over a dozen times. You wait on hold and as soon as you become next in-line (after 16 minutes or more) it automatically sends you to a voice mail and tells you to leave a message. For the rest of you, please be forewarned! #spiritairlines #airlines
Here is the Spirit Airlines procedure to file a damaged luggage or suitcase claim:
To initiate the claims process:
1. Create an incident report at the airport of arrival within 4 hours for domestic travel, 7 days for international damage reports, and 21 days for international loss, delayed, and pilferage reports.

Please note: If a report is not made within the timeframes stipulated above, claims will be denied.
2. Once the incident report is created, you will receive a Baggage Irregularity Receipt by email, with details about the claims process and a File ID.
Please note: Incident reports (File IDs) are not claims but rather a record of your mishandled baggage event. Once your incident report is created, you will need to continue the process by filing a claim.
3. Review and complete the online claim form, as instructed below.
Please note: All claim forms, with required documents, must be submitted within 30 days of arrival

That's really interesting. I used to love Rowenta irons and they lasted many years until I bought the top of the line one 3 years ago. It lasted only 2 years so I bought the lower priced model and it leaked like crazy. Well eventually I dropped it while sewing costumes and needed to buy a new one. Husband bought a retractable cord model from Walmart and I noticed several things. The seal wasn't on the sole plate and there were several heat marks on the body of the iron. Thought I would give it a try anyway then ,realized retractable cord was very short. And it was made in China. Returned it, and looked at all the irons they had and ended up with a Chi that had a 12 ft cord. So far, no leaking. Got my fingers crossed.
What's more interesting is that you had the same experience with Rowenta Steam Irons sold at Walmart. So it's not just Amazon that may be selling refurbished Rowenta steam irons. Something was definitely not right with your purchase. It's possible someone just used it and returned it to Walmart. Perhaps they just put the iron right back out for sale. But given how many people have had problems with Rowenta irons, nothing would surprise me. I saw that Chi irons were very popular on Amazon. I can't recall what stopped me from getting one while researching other irons besides the Rowenta. When you say the top of the line one, I know they only make one or two very expensive models that are manufactured outside of China. The rest of the Rowentas are manufactured in China. I believe I have the links for the non-China Rowenta irons in the description of this video. I'm curious how those hold up. I'm sorry you experienced the same frustration and waste of time many of us have with these Rowenta steam irons. Thank you for the comment and please come back if the Chi doesn't work out. That would be useful info for others as well.
You Saving Nothing, I Have A Few Aftermarket Batteries From Amazon With Thousands Of Good Feedback And Garbage Before 1 Year, The Real One Cost Double But You Get 3 Years Battery Life. Amén.
Mate, I think you missed the whole point of the video. The Generic CSB brand battery is exactly the same as the APC original battery- RBC17 minus the warranty that APC provides. Please re-watch the video. I've gotten a lot more than 3 years with my CSB brand batteries fyi. They are battery back up batteries so they're not getting drained down and charged up like normal batteries, but still. I've placed a link for the CSB battery replacements in the description because as you say, there are many generic replacements for the APC batteries, but they're not all the same.
I use this shower gel (I have 3 of the shower gel from Imperial Leather), that one you show in the video, I took a shower with it. Then I sprayed "Proraso wood and spice" cologne and the fragrance mixed so well with the shower gel scent that it made the cologne last and project more like crazy, 15 hours after I took my morning shower and had 4 sprays of my wood&spice cologne from Proraso. Still, I could smell it so clear on my skin, that even my partner asked me if I reapplied the cologne again as it was very noticeable.
That's awesome! There's something about this Imperial Leather shower gel. But how did you find this scent? I thought they recently stopped making it? Did Imperial Leather bring back this shower gel scent that smells like men's cologne? Thank you for the comment and testimony!
@@efficientway My partner got me the 3 different scents for men, one I believe has oud and sandalwood, another one (kind of dark blue color) that has eucalyptus and herbs and the one you show in the video that has pine and bergamot; today I found the last shower gels I mentioned, but the plastic bottles aren't round, they are kind of square and the scent changed, the ones with the round bottles have more intense smell and last longer.
@@ROCKGRINDER12 That's awesome. So you're saying you've tried both and the new bottle of the Imperial Leather body wash contains a scent that is stronger than the one that was in the old bottle? Amazing. The Imperial Leather body wash for men can be used as a cologne then!
Even if you dab a little of the "raw" gel behind the ear!
@@efficientway Those shower gels are great.
Never thought of the clean up. Thanks for the video:) now I know I don’t want one.
Don't let cleaning up the Aerolatte or any other milk frothing device deter you from purchasing one. It literally takes 5 to 7 seconds to run it under the faucet and that's it... done! You've cleaned up your hand frother. Since I recommend frothing milk in the same cup you will use to pour coffee or make an espresso in (in part to save cleaning up more items), there's nothing additional to clean up. With that said, if you don't like the idea of using a hand frother to froth milk for your lattes and cappuccinos, I did a video comparing the Aerolatte to a frothing machine called the Aeroccino. You can find that video on this channel.
@@efficientway thank you… I do appreciate that. I definitely wouldn’t. I just ever thought about the cleaning. Saved me SO MUCH money doing it his way though.
I always knew the clientele of spirit. Airlines was subpar a.k.a.ghetto but I didn’t expect their customer service to be just as ghetto. I will continue to fly with them, but I will never check a bag! Absolutely ridiculous!
I don't blame you. I have gone the extra step of declaring to never fly with Spirit Airlines again. Regardless of their pricing or even if the flight times are "better" for my next trip since they seem to delay almost every flight I've been on. Spirit Airlines already sets the tone by making you claim a baggage claim issue such as damaged luggage, online (within 4 hrs of your flight for domestic), but the fact that their procedure is so cumbersome (uploading pictures, a government ID, uploading/proving receipts, waiting to get a response, etc.), but for them to deny this claim on account of "normal wear and tear".. just as you said... "absolutely ridiculous"! I mistakenly said 24 hours in the video- it's within 4 hours of a domestic flight!!! It wasn't legible in the video, but you should see what their fine print "policies", that attempt to protect them against any claims for damaged suitcases, and luggage are. Here is the Spirit Airlines procedure to file a damaged luggage claim: To initiate the claims process: 1. Create an incident report at the airport of arrival within 4 hours for domestic travel, 7 days for international damage reports, and 21 days for international loss, delayed, and pilferage reports. Some domestic airport locations offer a self-serve, virtual Baggage Service Office, an option that is available from a mobile device. If you experience issues, select the “Need Help” option. Please note: If a report is not made within the timeframes stipulated above, claims will be denied. 2. Once the incident report is created, you will receive a Baggage Irregularity Receipt by email, with details about the claims process and a File ID. Please note: Incident reports (File IDs) are not claims but rather a record of your mishandled baggage event. Once your incident report is created, you will need to continue the process by filing a claim. 3. Review and complete the online claim form, as instructed below. Please note: All claim forms, with required documents, must be submitted within 30 days of arrival Directions for submitting a mishandled baggage claim: 1. Visit our Baggage Service web portal at www.spirit.com/bagclaim. 2. Enter your last name and File ID. 3. Click on “Create Online Claim.” 4. Follow the instructions shown and enter your information in the required fields. 5.

seems to me that just at the beginning of this video you are the one judging men on their nails or you feel judged. LOL, Men's hands are men's hands, a real men that works with their hands cant be playing mani/pedi games.
I couldn’t get past the 5 min mark he was so self conscious about his nails I hate when people don’t treat the human body as it is ugly and beautiful at the same time we never had this issue till eve ate the apple now everyone wants to be perfect in every way shape and form knowing full well you can’t out match the natural human body no matter what you try
Is it possible you are confusing vanity/"self consciousness" with fear of, or desire to not be judged? If you have wrinkles on your face, people will look at you and either find you attractive or not. But it's very unlikely that they will judge you by and for, having wrinkles. On the other hand, if you have dirty, and or long, and or chewed up nails, you will be judged. It may be unjust, it may not be fair, it may not be a lot of things, but it's a fact. Even for the mere fact that you couldn't bother to clean under your nails, etc (not necessarily judged for how they got dirty in the first place). Additionally, your wrinkly skin is unlikely to physically harm your significant (or not so significant) "other/lover". That is why all men should keep their nails groomed and that is why I shared this video on how to file men's nails.
Great little tool, add some brown sugar to my coffee and it is yummy!
I use "raw sugar" - the big brown crystals and yes, it sure is yummy. The Aerolatte milk frother, or perhaps all hand held milk frothers are underrated. A little tool like that can create temporary happiness :-)
My stomach and I appreciate you.
And I thank you for the positive feedback and taking the time to comment. Enjoy your Air Fried PF Changs (or Aplenty Mandarin Orange chicken)!
Thank you for the great idea and demonstration. Although I disagree, and believe this will make the rusting worse. The knife is made with loose fittings, so moisture can escape during use. Also, it should be completely disassembled and dried after each use to prevent corrosion. The bottom piece unscrews to release the blade. The two plastic pieces are pulled out of both sides to release the handle. If you follow this tutorial, be sure to seal the edges around the plastic keeper. The handle is hollow and rubber will expand/retract during dives.
Thank you for the positive feedback and the thoughts. The Cressi Dive knife rust problem is a notorious problem. There are horror pictures all over the internet of completely rusted out Cressi dive knives all the way down to the shaft. The issue is that in between the time one emerges from salt water to the hours or less until it can be rinsed with fresh water, this knife starts to rust. Even the Cressi knife with 304 stainless steel. If you're on a dive boat with other people, it may or may not be practical to start disassembling your knife and then you have to store it unsheathed somewhere while it's fully drying? It's incredible how easily this dive knife rusts, but thus far, using the method I demonstrated, I've had minimal (a couple of pin hole size rust spots right where I sealed it) to no rust (certainly not on the blade). Coating and recoating the knife is easy enough and safer I would think. I have no doubt that breaking down the knife, rinsing the parts of the knife (including those side tabs) in fresh water and then drying it thoroughly with a cloth, plus letting the tiny parts air dry might work. But I'll tell you, after a dive or snorkel, I have so much other crap to rinse off including a mask, snorkel, fins, dive socks, gloves, wetsuit, camera, camera extension, etc., the last thing I need is more. And if I'm with the wifey... guess who's washing her stuff? :-) Anyway, your comment was very helpful in terms of understanding the parts of the Cressi dive knife, for anyone who wants to disasemble it, so thank you again for the note and the suggestion.
Why the fuck is this a 10 minute video?

Another fan of Cabot Greek Yogurt eh? Just kidding!!! But there do seem to be many out there (though I think it's mostly for their full fat flavored yogurt). For me it's just weird stuff (hard to call it yogurt and certainly reluctant to call it Greek Yogurt). Thank you for the post.
Haha, I use EDT on more than special occasions, and it has become my signature scent, and the ladies at my job can't get enough of it. When autumn comes, I usually switch to their Eau des Baux EDT. One of the best things about the fragrance is how underrated it is, so it is easy to get people's attention.
"The signature scent".... I love it! I totally agree it's hard to find those under discovered scents that draw lots of positive comments. And then there's the natural hesitation of whether to share the name of the secret scent LOL!!! That's a good heads up on the L'Occitane Eau des Baux. Thank you for sharing and the comments in-line with the claims made in this video. Enjoy!
It does look like you have too much coffee in the portafilter. You can put a dime one top and lock the portafilter in and you should only have a small indentation of the coin if its deeper you have too much coffee. Maybe that could be one problem.
I don't think that is the issue because I carefully measured out my grams of illy espresso grind and carefully tamped it down. I did this exercise multiple times so the odds of messing up that many times are few. I believe it's a case of the illy espresso grinds being so fine. Some other users of De'Longhi espresso machines reported similar problems when using illy coffee. Thanks for the thought and taking time to post. That is also a great tip to test if one is stuffing their grinds too high in the portafilter.
Its works great in my bambino.
That's helpful for others checking to see if illy Espresso coffee will work in their espresso machines. illy has a very fine grind, and thus does not work well in all espresso machines. Thank you
You mentioned it helped your cholesterol. I’m curious by how much? I recently started drinking Concord grape juice after dinner because I always crave something sweet after I eat, and I thought this would be a better option than cookies 🍪 I then started thinking about the potential health benefits and came across your video! Going to try the frothing tomorrow for sure! So curious about its impact on improving your cholesterol… Thanks for making this video😊
I'd have to check my reports for the exact numbers, but the concord grape juice (I believe) brought my cholesterol down from just over the upper band (the reports give a high and low band) to about three-quarters/80% below that upper band. I think it helped for about 2 years and the last report was back up to the upper, but not above. Either way, my story is just anecdotal evidence. There were proper studies conducted (I refer to them in the video, but you can also search for them online) regarding the cholesterol, as well as other health benefits, of concord grape juice. The frothed grape juice is perfect if you're drinking it after a meal. It makes it a bit more fun/interesting and satisfying (it hits your tastebuds differently) versus just consuming the juice as a pure liquid. The ability to fight viruses is huge. I've tried to get some elderly family members to drink it for the memory benefits, but they all seem to have to watch their sugar intake! LOL! Thank you for the comment. Enjoy!
@@efficientway Good to know. It’s a constant juggling act apparently. Wonder why the juice seemed to work for so long then stopped?? I’ve recently discovered that expresso is supposed to raise one’s cholesterol. Supposedly drip, paper filtered coffee isn’t supposed to raise the cholesterol nearly as much. At least there’s an alternative!! I’m doing some labs to test this myself. Doing a baseline being off coffee/expresso for 3 months, then drinking expresso 2x/day for 3 months, then drinking drip/filtered coffee 2x/day for 3 months. So far I’ve shown my cholesterol drops about 35 points when not drinking coffee or expresso compared to drinking the expresso. I’m currently in the drip/filtered coffee testing phase now. Hoping the labs show not all coffee raises cholesterol significantly. My daily indulgence 😊 Thanks so much!
@@michellebaker10work It could have been a bunch of things such as my diet in the weeks/months before the cholesterol test? As far as coffee, I have never heard that about espresso. I drink 2 shots every day! What I have heard is that putting any type of dairy milk product into coffee takes away or at least reduces the major health benefits of drinking 1 cup a day. I'm conscious of that fact, but it doesn't stop me entirely. Most of the time I do use some milk, but less often than I used to. That's awesome that your officially trialing it. Let us know the results.
My soft sided suitcase was damaged on a return flight on Delta Airlines a week and a half ago. It was taped up and zip tied when it came off the baggage carousel! I filed a claim immediately at the airport and Delta gave me a new comparable bag on the spot!
I’m currently looking for a good hard shell, zipper-less suitcase, despite them replacing my damaged luggage. Just seems like it’s hard to find one that’s indestructible. Aluminum cases are nice but too expensive! Especially for a checked bag, or a carry-on that could possibly have to be checked because of overhead bin space.
There's a huge difference between the baggage claim customer service from Spirit and just about every other airline. To your point, Delta and other airlines have a baggage claim office onsite in the luggage claim areas of most major airports. Not only does Spirit Airlines not allow you to make a claim at the airport, but they give you only 24 hours after your flight and make you jump through hoops to file a damaged luggage claim online. And of course, as you can see in this video, they are not just or fair. Spirit Airlines damaged my Samsonite Framelock and rendered it unusable. In addition to crushing that corner, there were other dents and marks all over. That was the first and only trip I ever got to take with that suitcase. Spirit customer service had the gall to call it "normal wear and tear". Jokers! Delta customer service is way better.
So I had spent more hours than I care to admit looking for a hard sided suitcase that fit current airline restrictions (generally the dimensions must not exceed 62 inches). Surprisingly, many of the hard-sided suitcases on the market exceed those suitcase size restrictions. In the end I chose the Samsonite Framelock because amongst hard shell suitcases, poly-carbonate is supposed to be superior and Samsonite has a good reputation. The biggest thing was the waterproof factor. If your luggage is left out on the tarmac and it rains, your hard shell luggage will protect your belongings. It also provides additional security when travelling as it's harder to break into vs. a zipper suitcase. By the way, for the record, I've seen Rimowa aluminum suitcases getting dents and crushes from the airlines. Plus they are heavier. For anyone reading this, I also learned that TJ Maxx, Ross Stores, etc. carry Samsonite luggage made just for those discount stores. That's why you can't find those model names online. I purchased mine from Macys. After Spirit Airlines baggage handling crushed my suitcase and rendered it unusable (it was off its frame, and wobbly, not to mention the huge dent/crushed corner) I went back to the drawing board. I wasn't entirely sold on the clam shell design that all hard-sided luggage use as you need a lot of space in a hotel room to keep them open (I tend to hang some stuff up and live out of the suitcase for the rest). I did some more research and came upon a forum where several current and ex-baggage handlers left comments on their thoughts. They were unanimous in saying that hard sided luggage does not hold up well and are always prone to dents. The cheaper hard sided suitcases will simply crack! The lack of zipperless hard sided suitcases on the market, my experience, and their comments were enough to convince me to go back to soft-sided luggage for the time being. I still have an old Oyster Samsonite in storage. Probably one of the best suitcases ever made, but it's on the heavier side. Not only was the material better, but it was constructed better. It has three outside clasps that give a water tight, perfect seal. The current hard-sided zipperless suitcases from Samsonite that look like the old Oyster seem to get terrible reviews and crack easily. So I know the struggle you are going through trying to find a decent hard-sided zipperless suitcase.
@@efficientway Thanks for the advice. I am interested in the Samsonite Tru-Frame 2 piece set. I like the styling of it because it loosely resembles the Rimowa suitcases. I read some reviews and most seem positive. But I saw some pics of one that had damage to the locks. I don’t like how the locks protrude from the bag. Seems like they would get damaged easily during baggage handling!
@@efficientwayA couple years ago I bought a Delsey hard shell case from Macy’s. Upon my return trip, I noticed that my bag was damaged. At the time, I didn’t know that I had to report the damage before I left the airport. I flew American Airlines that trip. I emailed American Airlines and they said it was too late to file a claim if I remember correctly. But I returned the bag to Macy’s and they gave me a refund because I returned it within the 30 day return period. I think maybe a zipper handle was missing or something. Not sure if they’d accept your return in that condition, but may be worth a try if you haven’t tried already!
It’s oil based… it’s dry, it just has oils in it… it’ll smell for a long time.
Yes, that definitely seems to be the case. Do you think Rust-Oleum enamel paint will/does outgas longer than other oil based paints or is this just standard for all enamel paint? I don't seem to be the only one who's used it on items meant to be stored indoors (as opposed to outdoor projects only). I guess this video might be more relevant in terms of letting others who intend to use Rust-Oleum enamel paint for indoor projects know that it really shouldn't be. Thank you for the verification and taking time to comment. Given there's a bit of debate about the outgassing, others will find your comments helpful.
P.S. Zulay frothers are by far the best handheld, should only take 7-10 seconds
That's really a matter of opinion as I can point to a few factors which suggest Zulay frothers are not the best. As far as how long it should take to froth milk with a hand frother, that depends on how much milk you are frothing, how hot the milk is, the strength of the charge/batteries in your hand frother, how thick and resilient you want your foam and froth to be, amongst many other factors. If you froth milk with a frothing wand for 7 seconds, you are likely missing out on thick, lasting foam that will stay up well past the time you drink the liquid.
Way too much verbiage, but you did what the title said
I'm glad this Planet OAT oatmilk review met your expectations.
Thank you so much! Nothing else had worked!
Yea, I too know from experience it is very difficult to remove Krazy Glue and Super Glue from fingers and hands. The other methods of removing the glue are not only unhealthy, but just as you said, they don't work! Thank you for the comment as hopefully others will read it and save their time (and health)!
Omg thank you so much you save my lifeeeee ❤❤❤❤❤
Sweeeeet! I'm glad you were able to successfully remove the super glue from your hands and fingers. I do thank you for taking the time to come back to this video to leave a great comment.
Nice one Thanks for sharing
I'm glad it helped. Thank you for the comment.
I found one in my local Goodwill for $11!!. It needed a really good scouring and I can return it within a week if it doesn't function properly...but so far so good. Thanks for the good advice
That's a steal of a price for an Emeril Power Air Fryer 360! Check out my video on how to clean the inside of the Emeril Air Fryer and the tool you need to do it. I also have a video on how to clean the outside of the Emeril AirFryer 360 that will restore its shine back to "like new". Thank you for the comment and enjoy your new air fryer!
@efficientway I cleaned it quite a bit but it could use more. I will definitely check out the video! Thank!
Constructive feedback STOP TALKING when you’re showing how loud the fan is.
Of course I stopped talking when I demonstrated the Vornado fan, but how long do you think most viewers are going to wait before they start making comments about how much "lull" time there was in the video? It's hard to please everyone. More importantly, what other demonstration of the Vornado fan has such clear audio and from varying distances? Other videos have awful audio because the "wind" is blowing right into the microphone and distorting any sense of what the fan actually sounds like.
30 seconds?! For that little bit of milk?
Are you saying that's too long to froth milk with a wand or hand frother? If you want thick, proper foam that will stay up and last, 30 seconds of frothing is not a lot. To be fair, you may not have seen exactly how much went into the cup. At the suggestion of another viewer, I started using clear glass cups in the rest of my milk frothing videos so viewers could see the milk, technique, and final froth better.
@@efficientway No, the microwave time
@@numsiskit ahh. The amount of time to heat the milk before frothing will depend on a few factors. One is obviously the amount of milk as you mentioned, but also the size of the microwave (as it relates to the power of the microwave), but also the type and size of the cup you are using. A glass cup will differ from a thick ceramic mug, etc. That's why I mention it takes a bit of experimenting to dial in the perfect timing for heating the milk. You want it hot, but not so hot that it boils or forms a skin.
@@efficientway interesting. I think my microwave would boil the hell out of that milk in 30 seconds, unless on low power
@@numsiskit Very possible if you have a large microwave. The microwave I used to heat the milk for frothing was relatively small.
Nice job at 1:38 showing how it handles. Thanks!
Thank you for noticing the details! The original Gorilla Duct Tape is very versatile and should be a staple in the household. I recently tried Gorilla Clear Tape so I should do a review on that as well. Thank you for the comment!
@@efficientway This is one of the best reviews I have seen. I opened my ears when you said you have gifted this to family. I been using regular Duck brand all these years. I did not know there was anything this much better.
@@sojourner8229 Oh yea, the Gorilla Tape is superior in many ways. Outside of the overall performance, one of the biggest things is how much easier it is to work with compared to the old silver duct tape I grew up with. I can cut multiple strips straight down that are 1/4 wide with Gorilla tape. With clean sides no less (no stringy stuff, etc). So you can use it for small projects too. It's extremely versatile. Though I did notice after over a year I guess depending upon conditions, it becomes harder to pull of the roll. It doesn't seem to affect performance, but if you get a roll like that, it's probably old. Also makes sense to buy them as you need them. Enjoy and thanks for the comments.
Can you put the drip trey above the bottom elements? Or does this affect the cooking.
With the Emeril Power AirFryer 360, it depends on which cooking mode you are using. For example, in the air fry mode, the bottom and top heating elements are only used during the pre-heat stage. During the actual cooking stage, it only uses the side heating element. So you can use the pan as a primary drip tray above the element as I showed in the video. The real or original drip tray has to stay below the heating element, it won't fit properly elsewhere. You can check the owners manual to see which modes use the upper and or lower heating element. In general, there are ways around even if the mode uses the lower element, though it may take a bit longer to cook. For example, the toast function. Though, I've had zero issues toasting and actually prefer the bottom of my bagels not to get too toasted.
Wonderful video so talented !!
Thank you for noticing the carefully chosen words to describe L'Occitane shower gel for men. I appreciate you taking the time to leave the comment.
spirit airlines always has terrible customer service 😒
Spirit Airlines baggage claim customer service is especially a joke since for starters, you can't even file a claim at the airport in person (where they'd actually be able to inspect and access the damage first hand). Instead they give you 24 hours to file a claim online and upload pictures, write out a description, etc. Imagine your luggage is damaged on your way to your destination, as opposed to your return home flight. That's a great start to your vacation! Or just what you need before your big business meeting. From there it just gets worse in terms of having to use their portal, wait days for their replies, and of course their ridiculous disclaimers (which may have been hard to read in the video). You can see how badly Spirit damaged my brand new Samsonite hard sided suitcase. There's no way you can call that "normal wear and tear" and there's no way they should be able to get away with not taking responsibility. Yet that is exactly what occurred. No apology, no compensation, nothing but a waste of time. At the end of the day, Spirit Airlines tickets are no longer so inexpensive and what you give up in terms of less luggage allowed (only 40 pounds instead of the normal 50 pounds checked luggage that other airlines allow), no tv's in the seats, poorly padded seats (less comfortable), no snacks, etc. etc. they're not worth flying. They are renowned for delays. I learned the hard way about Spirit. Hopefully others can learn from my experience and not go through this themselves.
@@efficientway Hard to believe what they're doing is legal, its a scam at this point in the airport. No wonder why they got such a bad reputation.
@@jidabright Exactly right!
Just curious this many years on, how is this unit still working? ...has the noise gone up much with age ....has the containter held up without cracking and leaking?
The Luko 3000 dehumidifier is still going strong. I don't take it for granted given that I use it 9-10 months a year and most days it's either running 23 hours a day or about 20 hours. Keep in mind, I use the "continuous" feature rather than the humidity setting. So the dehumidifier will stay on until the water container is full, at which point it automatically shuts off. Before I learned that the Luko dehumidifier allows for some variance (plus or minus a few percent) from the humidity setting, I was concerned about the dehumidifier turning on and off at my exact setting, i.e. 50% relative humidity. Even with that feature, it would probably turn on and off several times a day, whereas in my case, it is always on, regardless of how low the humidity falls (42-43% is usually the lowest I see). I chose to operate the Luko dehumidifier this way knowing what I know about window air conditioners and how turning them on and off wears out the compressor faster. I used the same logic with the Luko, so it's possible that this has extended the life of my dehumidifier. As far as the low noise level dehumidifier, I haven't noticed a difference. So either it hasn't changed on the low setting or I've gotten used to it, but I'm pretty sure it's the same. On the high setting, you will hear it. The fan drawing the air in is running at a higher speed. The dehumidifier is still operating a lower decibel rating than other dehumidifiers, and at the low speed, the Luko is the quietest dehumidifier I have seen. Do keep in mind, this is a relatively small unit and will work in a 500-800 square foot area depending upon how open the room is (vs. the same square footage spread over several rooms). As for the water container, I've had zero issues and I don't expect any given that it is a thick plastic, there are no delicate pieces, and I'm not exactly overly gentle with it (with zero issues thus far). As far as maintenance, I should clean the filters more often, though I don't know how great a job they do anyway. I only clean them once a year. Finally, I do not use the Ionizer function on the dehumidifier because the research I did (general, not specific to the Luko model) suggests that ionizers produce ozone.
@@efficientway That is awesome to hear! ... they are on sale for $100 ( actually $119 with a $20 discount) on Amazon and I desperately need continuous mode for my 3d printers at home and also the school where we use them for various classes ....Thank you so much for posting this video and getting back to me!
@@GiantRobo77 That's an incredible price. If I hadn't experienced the Luko dehumidifier's performance first hand, I'd say it's too good to be true! I'm glad the link in the description still works. Enjoy!
Looks hard as hell to clean? I mean the air fryer I have now at least has an entire pot I can simply remove and wipe out but this, looks like a souped-up toaster oven just far more difficult to clean out. And showing the three racks of food we're a pretty foolish addition to the commercial since each one drips on the one below. Air fryer cleaning should be simple this looks like a Lot of work.
You're right that the Emeril Air Fryer 360 is harder to clean than a stand-alone air fryer (does nothing but air fry) and the commercial showing 3 racks cooking at the same time is silly. Not just because food will drip down on to the rack below, but because the air doesn't circulate as well and everything takes longer to cook. While cleaning the Emeril Power Air Fryer may take longer and is harder to clean compared to the "pot" on a different air fryer, the Emeril Air Fryer has the advantage of performing the toasting function, convection oven function, pizza function, etc. with precision timing as a bonus. You can't do that with stand-alone air fryers. So you not only save space on your counter and have the option of not turning your conventional oven on in the blistering summer heat, but you also gain all of that functionality. PLUS, the toasting function and all the others are actually better than a normal toaster because it uses precision timing (down to the second) and the temperature is perfectly controlled (way better than a regular toaster oven). So it is a trade off. If you follow the suggestions in my other video, it cuts down on the clean up quite a bit, but it will be more than what you have now.
A tip I learned is to tilt the cup at an angle and to actually stay right beneath the surface of the milk to avoid bringing bubbles into it. Slight up and down motion right beneath the surface, and voila fluffy creamy foam!
I'm not sure if you meant from this video, but yes as far as frothing milk with a hand frother for lattes, cappuccinos, or any other drink, those are some helpful tips. Part of the frothing technique does require a bit of action at the bottom of the cup, but as you say, the frothing wand should not stay there the entire time. Thank you for the comment and Happy Frothing!
I pour the milk froth cup to the espresso cup. Will try your method next time
The benefit of pouring or making the espresso directly in the cup that has milk froth in it already is that you won't break up the froth. I actually think you'll notice quite a difference, especially if you froth the milk as shown and create "strong" and "lasting" froth. Let us know what you think.
Are they water proof
The Cressi diving socks aren't waterproof. None of the neoprene socks are. They are designed to trap some water inside, which allows your foot/body to heat up with water. That water should be warmer than the water outside the neoprene sock and therefore will keep your foot warmer than without it. It works the same way a wetsuit does. The thicker the neoprene the warmer the diving sock. What you want to be aware of are the seams in terms of how they are constructed, and where they are (so as not to be painful when walking or when placed inside a fin for snorkeling or diving). If the seam is in a bad spot, it will rub or irritate the foot.
@@efficientway I love them still, very comfortable ,thanks for the video
@@palmerboizcooking5022 Oh nice. I didn't realize you had purchased the Cressi diving socks. Just be careful what you walk on, give them a good rinse, and they should do you well. Enjoy and thank you for the follow-up!
I have the A&D one
Did you take your blood pressure monitor to the doctor to calibrate it? You should if you haven't already.
Got it as a gift last Christmas unbox a week ago and it doesn’t work give me this E6 code and stop working
I would contact the company right away. You usually have to send an email. It should still be under warranty.
hi! i just came across this video because I got my first espresso machine and bought cafe bustelo for it. my boyfriend is cuban and his family swore by it lol! i did a double shot latte and found it the taste a bit too bitter, even thought I sweetened the latte. do you have any tips? i have been told that these types of espresso machines work better with freshly ground beans and the bustelo is better suited for a traditional coffee maker or stovetop. thanks!!!
Some would go the easy route and just tell you "everyone's taste buds are different", but I'm not everyone! Let's go through a few checks. It can take a bunch of trial runs before you get your new Espresso machine "dialed" in. 1)For a double shot, make sure you're using exactly 14 grams of coffee. 2) Make sure you are "tamping" the grinds down properly. Packing the grinds too tight will not allow enough water to get through the grinds (same thing if you don't tamp down evenly) and cause the espresso to come out "stronger/more bitter". 3)The biggest potential issue is how long you are running the water through the grinds and allowing the espresso machine to operate. This is the biggest part of "dialing it in". If you find the Bustelo coffee too bitter, it's possible you are now allowing enough water to run through the coffee grinds. Take a measuring cup and time how long it takes to produce 1 oz of espresso. Do this a few times to get an average. Double this time for 2 shots. Then you'll know how long to run your espresso machine when pulling shots.. i.e. 22 seconds for 2 shots. It is also possible that you're doing everything correctly and you're simply not used to strong espresso re: tastebuds. But that's why we're going through these checks. As far as Cafe Bustelo being better suited to a traditional coffee maker or stovetop, that isn't true. I personally know many people who use Cafe Buselo coffee made in an espresso machine. I too used it in my machine and demonstrated how the grinds are the right size to produce great espresso and nice crema. Many Cubans and others will add a bit of milk to their coffee. That will definitely help to cut the bitterness. If you feel you've mastered your espresso machine and you've added milk, etc. and still don't like it, it's possible that Cafe Bustelo and likely Cafe Pilon (another "Cuban style" coffee) are simply not for you. It won't be for everyone. If your boyfriend's family is complaining, and they are used to having it on the stove top, it's possible they are using a greater amount of water/diluting it. You can try running the espresso machine longer. For example, per the times above, instead of 22 seconds, run it for longer, like 27 seconds and see if that makes a difference. Good luck and let us know how it goes.
The plastic was the killer. That slowed down the process big time. I just painted the inside of our metal kitchen cabinets with this exact paint and it only took a couple days with the cabinets doors left open. The more air volume you can get passing over it the quicker it will go
I'm sure the process of outgassing would have been quicker without any plastic at all, but would it make a difference of months? Others who have not used plastic with Rust-Oleum enamel paint have had similar experiences to mine. Depending upon how much air flow you have going through your kitchen and house, my guess is that you were eliminating the smells vs. the Rust-Oleum paint not outgassing or smelling for more than two days.
Thanks
Nothing like the pain of flat feet. I hope the memory foam helps. Thank you for the post!
I have used dial gold all my life i never have body odor even after 10 hours working in the sun
Are you still able to find Dial Gold easily? Do you also use deodorant and/or body soap? Or is Dial Gold the only part of your showering and prep process? The under arm odor is caused by bacteria, so the key is to kill off or get rid of the bacteria. Do you soap up/clean under your arms more than once in the shower or is one pass and done?
Thank you. I don't want to heat up my kitchen. For breaded nuggets, DIY recipe, will parchment paper burn in this air fryer? I'd use the paper on top of the tray. Recipes and tips are a great help.
I wouldn't recommend parchment paper in the Emeril Air Fryer. Can't you spray or grease up aluminum foil and have it perform the same way parchment paper would? The key in terms of using the basket is to catch the "crumbs" or flakes in the pan below by sliding both out at the same time.
I need to know if the chicken was dry. I don't care for the soggy chicken either. Thanks for all your video on cleaning and tools used. Now watching cooking show. :)
The PF Chang's chicken cooked in the Emeril Air Fryer and prepared the way I made it, was not soggy. The key is to allow the chicken to defrost as much as possible before placing it in the air fryer. This allows the chicken inside to cook in proportion to the outside, and also allows the outside to crisp up nicely. Thank you for the positive feedback and your support for this channel. Happy Frying!
Thanks man
You are most welcome. Thank you for the post.
I just bought this brand n I agree it's disgusting I will never buy it again
Cabot Greek Yogurt- people either love it or hate it. I haven't seen anyone "in the middle". Regardless of the taste and look, at the end of the day, my big gripe is that this isn't Greek Yogurt by any standards!
I can confirm I have this brand have 2 and they suck!! They don’t move any air better off just buying a cheap fan.
Vornado fans don't move air? I know you have this brand, but with regard to models like the Vornado 630, Vornado 660, etc., there are actual statistics with regard to the volume of air these fans circulate. It is possible that you are using them at a distance that they are not suited to, or perhaps the amount of air these fans circulate is not enough for your personal liking, but I can tell you (as do other reviews), these are powerful fans. Moreover, the "vortex" they create is different to the air flow created by the blades of regular and/or cheap fans. You may prefer one over the other, but there's definitely a difference.
Nice video, thank you for sharing this information,,, there’s another person that’s into naturopathic health, he said grapes 🍇 are the best for almost anything.,,,and do believe him,
All grapes have some nutritional benefit, but do keep in mind that the studies mentioned in this video regarding cholesterol and virus fighting capabilities, etc. were specifically regarding Concord Grapes. The benefits of consuming these grapes are so numerous, it's amazing.
OMG your a LIFE saver thank you!!!!!!
You are most welcome. I'm glad you were able to successfully remove the super glue from your hands and fingers. Thank you very much for taking the time to come back to the video after trying this method, and mentioning the great outcome.
Don’t use this crap unless u want to ruin them in the long run 😂😂
Can you be more specific? How exactly would this ruin shoes "in the long run"? Using Gorilla Glue has worked well for me.
