I hate Eatons. The software is crap and they are stupidly noisy.
I've had much better service from Cyberpower.

I've always associated Eaton with superchargers... They make a lovely noise

Published api, and many third party apps to control/monitor if you don’t like theirs. And the EX series I’ve used and repaired extensively really is a data centre product where noise isn’t a consideration.
I have little influence in product selection.
Eaton failure rate is 5% over 700ish units.
APC is 12% over 1000ish units, excluding batteries. Apc love stupidly high float charges, battery life is pretty crap. The rolls Royce of UPS’ is still Liebert/Emerson for data centres/enterprise.
Cyberpower seems more targeted at desktop environment from what I can see.

Cyberpower is targeted at desktop/workstation and... health. You see a lot of them in hospitals.

LTIH1: washing machine breaks down. 12 years old and the error code says 'motor fault'.
LTIH2: I do a google check that suggests it might be motor brushes. Physical check suggests almost certainly the problem. And another Google check says brushes cost anything from $10 - $100!!!
LTIH3: everyone says it's a 12 year old washing machine...so it's probably fucked.
LTIH4: $10 eBay brushes fixed it after a hidden reset procedure that (of course) Google revealed. And now I wonder how many of these machines die for the sake of a ten buck part...
LTIH5: Replacing the brushes wasn't complicated...no more difficult than shifter cables. But it wasn't as straight forward as it could have been given that the machine guts were clearly not designed to have been easily accessed...designed obselescence should be a crime...

Nice job on fixing it! All through my uni days and a decade afterwards of low paying jobs my washing machines were freebies that I fixed. Dead pumps were an easy one with some time trawling metal recycling pile at the local tip usually providing a replacement
It’s very satisfying fixing something that wasn't designed to be fixed!

did the same with a Dyson vac a few years ago
$1000 vac, with a $75 motor...another machine saved from landfill for a few more years
thanks mum
I find older people have lost the will to try and repair and extend the life of things, but would prefer to have nice shiny things more often!

Scored ourselves a free dishwasher because it kept blowing thermostats. They kept it in the shed so long that by the time I went to buy a new one they only sold the self resetting kind and we got years out of it.

I just hope she realizes that you're the ironman here? All she has to do is trundle around for a while.

I made it perfectly clear just how much sacrifice so she gets to train on the drive in.

I love the gum trees by my house and the bird life they attract ny holy hell they drop some leaves. Filled a full sized wheelie bin yesterday just in leaf litter. And thats including 3 session of my fat ass getting in the bin and going bouncy castle to pack them in.and the yard looks only marginally better today as they keep dropping leaves

I hear you. The park across the road full of gumtrees from us just keeps giving too. Leaves and bark on the front yard is just how it is. Great for summer afternoon shade though so worth the trade off.
