For me, it's this God-forsaken GE dishwasher. Not only is it completely incapable of actually getting the dishes clean, but the racks are so poorly designed that nothing fits in the damn thing. But by FAR, the worst characteristic is the noise.

I know dishwasher's aren't the quietest contraptions in the world, but sitting 15 feet away in my living room is roughly the equivalent to the cleaning cycle of a drive-through automated car wash.

A close second would be my ice maker. It happens to lack the ability of being turned off. All day, every day, making and dumping ice into the ever growing glacier in the middle of my freezer.


So, what's the biggest POS you've got floating around your homestead?

I think I have that same dishwasher, what an annoying POS. They aren't all this bad. My parents just bought a new GE, middle of the line model. It's virtually silent, We can actually carry on a conversation standing next to it. The difference is in the insulation. My el cheapo GE has a thin fiberglass blanket covering the box. Their's has a layer of insulating foam covered with a dense fiber glass blanket, world of difference. I'm thinking a couple of cans of 'Great Stuff' are going to solve the problem until I can get a new one.
