This book is for the person that simply wants to understand the basic common sense of household appliances. In reading the book I felt as though my father was sitting next to me advising me as to what to do next. The recipe for cleaning the dishwasher and the insights about keeping the fridge running are worth the price of the book (and there's a whole lot more besides that in the book)! If you are like me and not too knowledgable about home appliances then I highly recommend this book. It will be one that will be open often.

I found the tips and helpful hints to be very useful. It is written in a way that even "regular" people can save money and save time. I am thankful for this information and am recommending it to all my friends.

I cannot believe the other negative reviews. This book was written for people like me. I didn't have a whole lot of knowledge of how things worked around the house growing up and this book is like having my father next to me advising me on what to do next. There is a lot of common sense things in this book that will assist the common person in the house about how to fix the little things that can cost so much. I needed it. If you are a do-it-youself person and already have a lot of knowledge concerning household products then this may not be the one for you. If you want to know more about how your appliances work in your house and also learn to discover a rip-off when you see one - then this book is for you. It is a must for every household. The procedure for cleaning the dishwasher is worth the price of the book!! EXCELLENT STUFF!!! HIGH RECOMMENDATION!!!!

With over 15 years of experience and up to date on all of the new product lines as well as the upper level machines, I must say that this book isn't worth the paper it is printed on. Most if not all of the information contained is readily available from the manufacturer of the appliance. If you have a more serious problem with your machine then you do in fact need a technician to inspect it and give you the options to repair it CORRECTLY or to purchase a new machine. Put your dollar to use and hire a real professional, with real, in the field experience. I wish I could rate this no stars!

Being an appliance repair tech with over 15 years of REAL field experience, I can say the info in this book is at best common sense and at worst just plain wrong. Save your money to spend on a service call to have a real professional service and maintain your appliance.
