1 00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:04,080 Speaker 1: KFI AM six forty. You're listening to Dean Sharp the 2 00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:08,880 Speaker 1: house Whisper on demand on the iHeart Radio app here 3 00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:13,800 Speaker 1: for you with patient, helpful answers to your questions, and 4 00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:18,080 Speaker 1: with the information and the inspiration you need to see 5 00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:21,720 Speaker 1: your way home and to see your home the way 6 00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:26,400 Speaker 1: I do as well. An ordinary house capable of becoming 7 00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:30,440 Speaker 1: an extraordinary home. So let's get to it. Whether home 8 00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:33,519 Speaker 1: for you is a castle or a cottage does not 9 00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:37,400 Speaker 1: matter to me. Good design is what makes all the difference. 10 00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:41,680 Speaker 1: Every house deserves it, every house should enjoy it because 11 00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:45,000 Speaker 1: and this is so true. Once good design is at 12 00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:49,120 Speaker 1: work in your home, that is where you find the 13 00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:53,800 Speaker 1: path forward. That is the path towards your home becoming truly, 14 00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:56,720 Speaker 1: truly a great home. How are we going to do 15 00:00:56,760 --> 00:01:00,400 Speaker 1: that today? Well, this is a special show we do 16 00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:04,400 Speaker 1: every single year. I always look forward to this because 17 00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:07,720 Speaker 1: it's it's a mix of Pope Prie as it were, 18 00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:10,600 Speaker 1: of all sorts of things. Today it is the best 19 00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:17,360 Speaker 1: of the International Builders Show. This last week was Design 20 00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:21,560 Speaker 1: and Construction Week here in the United States, and with 21 00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:27,160 Speaker 1: that comes the International Builders Show. The International Builders Show 22 00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:32,800 Speaker 1: is the world's largest home building, design and home improvement gathering, 23 00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:36,920 Speaker 1: the biggest one on the planet every year by far, 24 00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:40,400 Speaker 1: and it just happened for the very last time actually 25 00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:45,160 Speaker 1: as far as we know, in Orlando. Normally the International 26 00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:49,480 Speaker 1: Builders Show goes a couple three years west coast in 27 00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:53,720 Speaker 1: Las Vegas, a couple three years in Orlando. But for 28 00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:58,680 Speaker 1: whatever reason, and I'm not questioning, I like this decision personally, 29 00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:04,040 Speaker 1: it is now as starting next year, going to permanently 30 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:08,239 Speaker 1: reside on the West Coast in Las Vegas. I think 31 00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:12,400 Speaker 1: maybe just Vegas is just a bigger draw, and the 32 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:15,520 Speaker 1: convention centers set up a little differently and a little better, 33 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,359 Speaker 1: and they always get bigger numbers in Vegas than they 34 00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:22,800 Speaker 1: get attending in Orlando for whatever reason, no judgment or Orlando, 35 00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:27,800 Speaker 1: been to Orlando many many times, just saying that's the 36 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:31,040 Speaker 1: way it goes. So starting next year, we'll be going 37 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:35,400 Speaker 1: every year, and so I'll be live on the scene 38 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:39,280 Speaker 1: and picking up more insights along the way. But we 39 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:42,400 Speaker 1: also have our people on the ground in Orlando this 40 00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:46,400 Speaker 1: year and looking for the things that they know that 41 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 1: I'd be looking for, and of course we've assembled that 42 00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:53,399 Speaker 1: over eighteen hundred vendors. It's a big show. I mean 43 00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:56,680 Speaker 1: it's big. It's a lot of stuff, and I'm going 44 00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,080 Speaker 1: to be talking to the stuff that's relevant to you 45 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 1: and your home, either directly or indirectly via your builders, 46 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:06,600 Speaker 1: and things to talk to your builders about and ask 47 00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:09,760 Speaker 1: them about along the way. So it's going to be fun, fun, fun, 48 00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 1: all sorts of interesting stuff for everybody as we move 49 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,880 Speaker 1: forward today.

Do you know how 61 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:54,000 Speaker 1: hard it is to get an eight hundred number these days? 62 00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:57,760 Speaker 1: That in any way is memorable. It's tough, and we 63 00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:01,960 Speaker 1: secured this one, what uh over nine years ago, but yeah, 64 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,680 Speaker 1: it's one.

There is another 121 00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:24,720 Speaker 1: big ice storm threatening the northeast to drop in and 122 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:29,480 Speaker 1: man if we didn't already have enough of these last 123 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:33,120 Speaker 1: few weeks. With that, I hope you are bracing yourself 124 00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:37,880 Speaker 1: and getting yourself bundled up, getting things ready, and best 125 00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:40,000 Speaker 1: of luck with all of that.

Freezing temperatures 128 00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:51,280 Speaker 1: can do all sorts of nasty things to a house 129 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:54,360 Speaker 1: that is not prepared for it. So something to consider. 130 00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:58,840 Speaker 1: Not exactly what we're dealing with here in southern California 131 00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:00,600 Speaker 1: at the moment. I don't mean to rub it in, 132 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:06,240 Speaker 1: but we've had some late winter rains, which is always 133 00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:10,480 Speaker 1: a nice thing, not too much damage from them, which 134 00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:14,679 Speaker 1: is always a great thing. The hillsides are green and verdant. 135 00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:19,600 Speaker 1: The temperature outside is pushing into the sixties today and 136 00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:23,840 Speaker 1: the low seventies this coming week. I know, I know, 137 00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:26,560 Speaker 1: and you know what, I'm just gonna say it. You know, 138 00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:30,240 Speaker 1: I have to say it a little bit because constantly, 139 00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:32,680 Speaker 1: if you live, especially if you live in southern California, 140 00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:34,680 Speaker 1: you always have to put up with the you know, 141 00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:38,400 Speaker 1: every news report and everybody, every talking head everywhere that 142 00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:41,920 Speaker 1: says California is an unlivable place. That's why we're leaving. 143 00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:45,160 Speaker 1: And you know what, I'm fine with that. You know, 144 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:47,760 Speaker 1: make your decisions, do what you need to do. But 145 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:51,920 Speaker 1: there's a reason why people move to California and who 146 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,480 Speaker 1: people live here. Enjoy it. And I'll tell you what 147 00:08:55,240 --> 00:09:00,720 Speaker 1: it is. February twenty second and sixty four degree outside, 148 00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:04,600 Speaker 1: and Sonny, it's it's a good, good, good, gorgeous day today. 149 00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:08,600 Speaker 1: And that's worth something isn't it. I think so. I 150 00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:13,680 Speaker 1: think it's worth something. Anyway. Putting all that aside, I 151 00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:19,720 Speaker 1: don't mean to create divisiveness or you know, jealousy. UH, 152 00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:24,640 Speaker 1: putting that aside. This last week was, as is every year, 153 00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:29,520 Speaker 1: the design and construction week here in the United States, UH, 154 00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:34,680 Speaker 1: and you know, accurately speaking the globe, because the International 155 00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:38,920 Speaker 1: Builders Show just wrapped up. It's a three day run 156 00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:44,720 Speaker 1: in UH Orlando this year, and lots of interesting stuff. 157 00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:48,360 Speaker 1: TENA and I report from it every single year. And 158 00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:51,440 Speaker 1: by the way, you know, been doing the International Builder 159 00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:54,880 Speaker 1: Show a lot longer than been doing this show, and 160 00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,720 Speaker 1: for a very very good reason, because you know, I'm 161 00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:01,480 Speaker 1: a custom home designer and builder, and these things are relevant, 162 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:08,080 Speaker 1: always relevant, especially seeing that what we do is custom 163 00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:13,880 Speaker 1: We do custom home design, and in the custom design 164 00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:18,200 Speaker 1: and build world, you're always being asked to do things 165 00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:21,440 Speaker 1: that are a little bit out of the box, to 166 00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:25,920 Speaker 1: say the least. And so new technologies, new tools, new approaches, 167 00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:28,680 Speaker 1: got to stay on top of those things so we 168 00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:32,959 Speaker 1: can actually accomplish the things that we dream up along 169 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:38,320 Speaker 1: the way. So today, let's go down the list of 170 00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:41,840 Speaker 1: things that I noticed. Now eighteen hundred vendors there. So yeah, 171 00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,240 Speaker 1: I'm bypassing a lot of stuff. A lot of stuff 172 00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:47,920 Speaker 1: at the International Builder Show is very you know, builder 173 00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:51,200 Speaker 1: builder focused, builder specific, things that would just bore the 174 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:54,199 Speaker 1: heck out of you, that you know may or may 175 00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:57,040 Speaker 1: not be directly relevant to what you do, and a 176 00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:59,280 Speaker 1: lot of things that you already know about. So I 177 00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:02,600 Speaker 1: try and bring out things that are interesting and unique 178 00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:05,880 Speaker 1: and may have at least, you know, be of interest 179 00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:10,679 Speaker 1: to folks. Let's start with well, you know what I'm 180 00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:12,719 Speaker 1: gonna I'm not gonna take this in any particular order. 181 00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:17,240 Speaker 1: I want to start with one of my No, I'm 182 00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:20,360 Speaker 1: gonna save that one. It's nice to know how organized 183 00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:24,440 Speaker 1: I am, isn't it. Let's start with garage doors. I'm 184 00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:28,000 Speaker 1: gonna save the ge all in one washer dryer for 185 00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:31,400 Speaker 1: the next segment. All right, Let's start with garage doors. 186 00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:37,160 Speaker 1: Cloth Pay c l O p a Y is perhaps 187 00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:45,199 Speaker 1: arguably the finest garage door innovative manufacture in the land. 188 00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:51,360 Speaker 1: Cloth Pey just just has has, especially in the last 189 00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:55,040 Speaker 1: few years, just excelled at so many amazing things. Now, 190 00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:58,400 Speaker 1: a couple of years ago I introduced you to the 191 00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:03,719 Speaker 1: Vertie stack door from Clopey what is that? Well, it's 192 00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:07,360 Speaker 1: sectional garage door. Okay, it's all aluminum. And when I 193 00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:10,559 Speaker 1: say aluminum, I don't mean aluminum skin facing the street. 194 00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:15,120 Speaker 1: I mean that it's glass and aluminum framework. I mean 195 00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:21,280 Speaker 1: this is a strong, beautiful, forever door. Okay. And that 196 00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:26,640 Speaker 1: door is a sectional garage door. So from the outside, 197 00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:29,600 Speaker 1: you know, looks like a sectional garage door. What's different 198 00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:33,640 Speaker 1: about it? What the magic that it does inside the garage? 199 00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:38,160 Speaker 1: The verti stack garage door. As the panels rise up 200 00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:42,640 Speaker 1: as it opens, it detaches each panel from the next 201 00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:48,480 Speaker 1: and neatly stacks them like books or plates however you want, 202 00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:50,360 Speaker 1: you know, come up with your own metaphor. But it 203 00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:53,920 Speaker 1: stacks the panels right above the garage door header, right 204 00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:58,160 Speaker 1: on the garage door wall, about a foot thick. What 205 00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:02,920 Speaker 1: does that mean? No rail running back into the garage, 206 00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:11,120 Speaker 1: the garage ceiling completely clear, nothing up there, there's nothing there. 207 00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:15,400 Speaker 1: And why is this relevant? Well, it's relevant because storage. 208 00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:19,560 Speaker 1: It's relevant because people. You know, one of the number 209 00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:23,520 Speaker 1: one things that every one of our clients and every 210 00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:27,000 Speaker 1: one of you often bring up is how do I 211 00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:30,800 Speaker 1: get more storage out of my garage? More efficient storage. Now, 212 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:35,640 Speaker 1: it's not that you can't get good racking storage for 213 00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:40,000 Speaker 1: a garage ceiling, but you can't put that storage, you know, 214 00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:44,600 Speaker 1: to any significant depth, at least above where the garage 215 00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:47,800 Speaker 1: door rolls up right. The other thing about that is 216 00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:51,199 Speaker 1: the functionality of the garage when it comes to lighting. Okay, 217 00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:54,920 Speaker 1: you could put in a whole bunch of you know, 218 00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:58,920 Speaker 1: recess can lights and functional utility lights in the garage. 219 00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:01,280 Speaker 1: And yes, when it comes to the garage, I'm never 220 00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:04,360 Speaker 1: looking to make a garage romantic per se. So put 221 00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:06,960 Speaker 1: as many recess can lights in the garage as you want, 222 00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:10,520 Speaker 1: light it up with the let it be the workshop 223 00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:13,520 Speaker 1: and functional area that it deserves to be. But here's 224 00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:16,240 Speaker 1: the problem. Open the garage door if you want air 225 00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:20,800 Speaker 1: and daylight coming in, and the garage door covers up 226 00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:23,960 Speaker 1: two thirds of your lights. They're all above the door. 227 00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:28,960 Speaker 1: So this is actually a really really significant change in 228 00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:33,040 Speaker 1: the way the sectional garage doors function. And it's bomb proof. 229 00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:37,560 Speaker 1: They've tested, it tried, true, we've seen it. It just 230 00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:40,200 Speaker 1: stacks those panels right next to the head or no 231 00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:42,960 Speaker 1: rails back. It also allows you to have a higher 232 00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:45,080 Speaker 1: garage door if you want. For our va, I mean, 233 00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:49,000 Speaker 1: all sorts of stuff all sorts of functionality that was 234 00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:51,960 Speaker 1: two years ago, and how well is it doing now? 235 00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:54,480 Speaker 1: It's doing great. What have they added to it this year? 236 00:14:54,840 --> 00:15:03,800 Speaker 1: Those glass panels they auto meaning total privacy, flip a switch, 237 00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:09,280 Speaker 1: transparent all that daylight coming into the garage without opening 238 00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:14,600 Speaker 1: the garage door. Ah ah yeah, science and technology. Amazing, 239 00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:17,880 Speaker 1: amazing garage doors by Clope. All right, more, when we 240 00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:20,840 Speaker 1: return your Home with Dean Sharp the house Whisper. 241 00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:24,880 Speaker 2: You're listening to Home with Dean Sharp on demand from 242 00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:26,400 Speaker 2: KFI Am sixty. 243 00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:29,680 Speaker 1: We're talking about the best of the International Builder Show, 244 00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:33,680 Speaker 1: which just wrapped up this week in Orlando. I've got 245 00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:37,000 Speaker 1: some choice stuff for you all across the board, just 246 00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:40,960 Speaker 1: all sorts of stuff. Just told you about the close 247 00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:46,320 Speaker 1: pey vertistack door garage door, which stacks all the panels 248 00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:49,280 Speaker 1: right above the garage door header on the inside of 249 00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:51,960 Speaker 1: the garage door and does not have rails that drag 250 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:55,280 Speaker 1: it across the ceiling. So all of that ceiling space 251 00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:59,960 Speaker 1: is open and available to you for lighting, for storage, 252 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:02,720 Speaker 1: whatever you want to do up there. If you combine 253 00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:06,160 Speaker 1: that with like some easy lift storage, what's the easy lift. 254 00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:09,800 Speaker 1: Easy lift is yet another innovation that I brought to 255 00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:13,360 Speaker 1: you a little while back. Easy Lift are storage racks 256 00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:16,240 Speaker 1: and cages that sit up there on the top of 257 00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:19,920 Speaker 1: your garage. And if you've got any kind of attic 258 00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,480 Speaker 1: space above your garage, any kind of space at all, 259 00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:26,160 Speaker 1: then you've got room for the easy Lift winches to 260 00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:29,400 Speaker 1: mount right up above. So imagine this. Imagine a garage 261 00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:32,920 Speaker 1: in which you walk out. You could completely open the 262 00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:37,640 Speaker 1: garage door to allow fresh air and daylight in the 263 00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:42,240 Speaker 1: garage door in no way affects the ceiling. Or you 264 00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:46,479 Speaker 1: could just flip a switch and turn your opaque garage 265 00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:51,000 Speaker 1: door glass completely transparent to let beautiful daylight in through 266 00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:55,160 Speaker 1: all of that glass. And then then you look up 267 00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:57,280 Speaker 1: and you're like, oh, you know it's a holiday time, 268 00:16:57,480 --> 00:16:59,800 Speaker 1: or you know I've stored some stuff up there, And 269 00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:03,720 Speaker 1: you flip one of two or three or four switches, 270 00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:07,159 Speaker 1: depending on which rack you want lower down, and a 271 00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:12,320 Speaker 1: hidden winch simply lowers the storage area down to the 272 00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:15,680 Speaker 1: garage floor. You don't get on a ladder. You've got 273 00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:20,639 Speaker 1: full access to the top of that basket. That is 274 00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:24,880 Speaker 1: a dreamy garage situation, and it's all possible today, it's 275 00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:30,480 Speaker 1: all doable, all right, Let me move on to something 276 00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:34,560 Speaker 1: that I stuck my neck out a few years back, 277 00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:37,960 Speaker 1: a couple of years ago and introduced to you something 278 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:43,639 Speaker 1: that I thought was significantly game changingly important in the 279 00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:48,960 Speaker 1: area of major appliances, and that was the GE all 280 00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:52,960 Speaker 1: in one washer dryer. This is a unit, a single unit, 281 00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:56,479 Speaker 1: not two, that you put your clothes into and it 282 00:17:56,680 --> 00:18:00,360 Speaker 1: washes and then proceeds to dry them. Now, back then, 283 00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:02,840 Speaker 1: and still every time I mention it. A lot of 284 00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:06,040 Speaker 1: people have had some level of familiarity with all in 285 00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:10,080 Speaker 1: one washer dryers in the past, and they said they suck, Dean, 286 00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:13,080 Speaker 1: and I agree with you, they totally do, totally do. 287 00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:19,119 Speaker 1: Not this one, not this one. This is brand new technology. 288 00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:22,359 Speaker 1: And I predicted that this was going to slowly but 289 00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:27,480 Speaker 1: surely change the game, the laundry game, you know, globally. 290 00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:30,920 Speaker 1: And I said that the very first sign of that 291 00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:34,520 Speaker 1: happening would be to see other not only the GE 292 00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:39,800 Speaker 1: became a success, but you'd also see other manufacturers start 293 00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:42,600 Speaker 1: to pick up on the same technology and introduce their 294 00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:48,000 Speaker 1: own their own versions of it. And lo and behold, Yes, 295 00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:52,000 Speaker 1: we now live in a world where several several LG 296 00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:57,240 Speaker 1: Samsung is it frigid Air that also and uh many 297 00:18:57,240 --> 00:19:01,760 Speaker 1: more kitchen uh uh several coming out and more planned 298 00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:04,520 Speaker 1: on coming out. It won't be long before every major 299 00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:07,520 Speaker 1: appliance manufacturer has their own version of it. So how 300 00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:10,960 Speaker 1: do they all stack up against the Ge? In my opinion, 301 00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:13,800 Speaker 1: the GE was such a brilliant design to begin with. 302 00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:18,040 Speaker 1: And hey, everything is wide open to modifications, that's just 303 00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:21,480 Speaker 1: the way things work. But in my opinion, the GE 304 00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:25,199 Speaker 1: still the best, still the best. So what does it do? 305 00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:27,640 Speaker 1: If you've never heard of it before? It was once 306 00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:33,359 Speaker 1: again on glorious display with its new versions at the 307 00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:37,040 Speaker 1: Builder Show. It is, you know, and it's all about 308 00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:39,320 Speaker 1: the dryer. Let's just talk about the dryer, okay, because 309 00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:42,840 Speaker 1: the dryer is the issue. Right. The dryer uses heat 310 00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:47,880 Speaker 1: pump technology, not gas. This washer dryer does not require 311 00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:50,640 Speaker 1: a natural gas hookup in any way, shape or form. 312 00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:53,439 Speaker 1: It has no gas burners inside it. It does not 313 00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:56,920 Speaker 1: use that. It uses an electric heat pump. Heat pump 314 00:19:56,960 --> 00:20:00,240 Speaker 1: is a gentler technology. It is a gentler technology. But 315 00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:03,680 Speaker 1: this is what GE finally figured out from your grandma 316 00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:07,040 Speaker 1: or your great grandma who used to put laundry out 317 00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:10,760 Speaker 1: on the clothesline outside to let it dry. Right, my 318 00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:14,879 Speaker 1: Grandma told me this long, long time ago. She said, listen, 319 00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:17,280 Speaker 1: it's you know, because I asked her, I'm like, how 320 00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:19,520 Speaker 1: does that get dry? It's not even a warm day. 321 00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:23,560 Speaker 1: She's like, warm is not the problem, she said, as 322 00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:26,400 Speaker 1: long as there's a breeze blowing, the clothes get dried. 323 00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:28,919 Speaker 1: Could be sixty degrees outside, As long as there's a 324 00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:33,200 Speaker 1: little breeze, the clothes will dry just fine. It could 325 00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:37,960 Speaker 1: be one hundred degrees on a day in which there's 326 00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:42,840 Speaker 1: no breeze whatsoever, the clothes will take longer to dry. 327 00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:47,320 Speaker 1: It's about airflow, not heat. Ge finally picked up on 328 00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:49,840 Speaker 1: that and said, ah, so they increased the size of 329 00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:54,240 Speaker 1: the fan that runs air over the clothes instead of 330 00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:57,439 Speaker 1: massive amounts of heat. Now it does heat, it does, okay, 331 00:20:57,480 --> 00:20:59,680 Speaker 1: but it's a gentler heat and it uses more air 332 00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:05,800 Speaker 1: than ever before. Modern day dryers essentially bake your clothes 333 00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:08,760 Speaker 1: in the dryer. They bake them, okay, in order to 334 00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:12,520 Speaker 1: remove that in the moisture. And two things happen as 335 00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:15,240 Speaker 1: a result of that. One, you create a lot of 336 00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:18,080 Speaker 1: excess moisture that's got to be blown out through the 337 00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:21,840 Speaker 1: dryer vent, okay, And that with that moisture carries a 338 00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:25,000 Speaker 1: lot of heat away from the dryer as well, so 339 00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:28,159 Speaker 1: they're very inefficient. They lose a lot of heat and 340 00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:30,639 Speaker 1: they produce a lot of heat, and so it's an 341 00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:34,919 Speaker 1: inefficient cycle. Well, the heat pump recaptures the heat loss, 342 00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:39,800 Speaker 1: most of it. There's no exterior dryer vent. There's still 343 00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:41,959 Speaker 1: a filter of course, the lint filter and all of that, 344 00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:46,399 Speaker 1: but it reclaims the heat and lots and lots of 345 00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:50,520 Speaker 1: air and as a result, clothes last longer, clothes are 346 00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:56,200 Speaker 1: better cared for, and still still you get efficient dry Now, 347 00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:59,200 Speaker 1: does it dry clothes as fast as a gas dryer? No, 348 00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:04,359 Speaker 1: not yet, not quite. But here's the thing. This is 349 00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:08,280 Speaker 1: where the all in one comes into play. Most people 350 00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:12,439 Speaker 1: do not stand around waiting with an alarm set to 351 00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:16,240 Speaker 1: immediately get to the washing machine as soon as it's 352 00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:19,159 Speaker 1: done with the load. Correct, you know what I'm talking about. 353 00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:22,960 Speaker 1: If you are there when the washer finishes and you 354 00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:25,919 Speaker 1: grab all those clothes and put them into the dryer 355 00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:27,959 Speaker 1: and get that all set up, sure you're gonna get 356 00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:32,520 Speaker 1: the laundry done faster than anybody. Okay, but GE did 357 00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:36,280 Speaker 1: its own internal survey, and I'll tell you right now, 358 00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:39,760 Speaker 1: I think they underestimated by far. They came up with 359 00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:43,160 Speaker 1: the conclusion that four to five hours is the total 360 00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:47,679 Speaker 1: laundry cycle time because the washing machine ends, and you know, 361 00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:50,560 Speaker 1: an hour later, or a half hour later, or two 362 00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:53,600 Speaker 1: hours later, you remember, oh, yeah, the clothes are done. 363 00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:55,560 Speaker 1: I got to put him in the dryer. That's the 364 00:22:55,720 --> 00:23:00,560 Speaker 1: realistic time that clothes get washed in most households. The 365 00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:04,919 Speaker 1: GE just takes it from wash into the dryer cycle. 366 00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:07,639 Speaker 1: So even though the dryer cycle is the longer, the 367 00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:15,040 Speaker 1: overall wash time faster than most combination, most separate units. 368 00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:17,960 Speaker 1: And I love this about GE. They have a tendency 369 00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:22,800 Speaker 1: to underestimate their own performance. So when these first came out, 370 00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:25,119 Speaker 1: they basically said two and a half hours from start 371 00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:28,359 Speaker 1: to finish and you're done with that load of laundry. Well, 372 00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:32,840 Speaker 1: the customers and the owners that have purchased these are 373 00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:35,720 Speaker 1: now reporting back that the average load of laundry for them, 374 00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:38,520 Speaker 1: and this is a high capacity wash or dryer, the 375 00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:40,879 Speaker 1: average load of laundry start to finish is about an 376 00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:46,760 Speaker 1: hour forty five minutes. And you know what, that's crazy impressive, 377 00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:50,199 Speaker 1: crazy impressive. All right, there's more to tell you about it. 378 00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:51,840 Speaker 1: So I'm not going to rush it all in just 379 00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:53,960 Speaker 1: so we can move on when we come back from 380 00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:57,159 Speaker 1: the other side of the break, I'll tell you the 381 00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:00,359 Speaker 1: other details along the way and realistically what the pros 382 00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:02,919 Speaker 1: and cons are. I know I sound very excited about it. 383 00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:05,080 Speaker 1: I am because I think it's a great unit. TENA 384 00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:08,440 Speaker 1: and I are pondering grabbing one for ourselves. I think 385 00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:11,440 Speaker 1: it's so good, but it's not for everybody, So I'll 386 00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:14,439 Speaker 1: give you a full rundown right after this. You are 387 00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:16,880 Speaker 1: Home for Dean Sharp the house Whisper. 388 00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:21,000 Speaker 2: You're listening to Home with Dean Sharp on demand from 389 00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:22,919 Speaker 2: KFI AM six forty. 390 00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:26,400 Speaker 1: And I want you to live in a place where 391 00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:32,080 Speaker 1: the environment around you is every bit the very best 392 00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:36,439 Speaker 1: reflection of the best life you could be living. A 393 00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:39,080 Speaker 1: good home does more than just keep the rain off 394 00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:41,639 Speaker 1: our heads and keep us warm when it's cold and 395 00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:45,679 Speaker 1: cool when it's hot outside. A good home magnifies the 396 00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:50,399 Speaker 1: very best of our lives and not only amplifies it, 397 00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:53,600 Speaker 1: but accelerates it. It's the launch pad for your entire life. 398 00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:57,879 Speaker 1: It's HQ, it's everything, and so that's what we're here 399 00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:02,280 Speaker 1: to help you turn your ordinary house into an extraordinary home. 400 00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:04,720 Speaker 1: We're doing it today by talking about the best of 401 00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:07,760 Speaker 1: the International Builder Show. And I know, I know, I 402 00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:09,840 Speaker 1: got to move on. But this is just such a 403 00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:16,680 Speaker 1: unique game changing appliance, the GE All in one washer dryer, 404 00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:18,879 Speaker 1: that I just want to finish up a couple of 405 00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:22,000 Speaker 1: details here, just so you are aware of all that 406 00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:26,719 Speaker 1: it can do. So people are reporting in general laundry 407 00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:30,360 Speaker 1: wash to dry an average load of laundry in an 408 00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:33,240 Speaker 1: hour and forty five minutes, which is far better than 409 00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:37,240 Speaker 1: GE's own estimations. And I was down when they said 410 00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:38,840 Speaker 1: it was going to take two and a half hours 411 00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:43,359 Speaker 1: because on average, the average household it takes about four 412 00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:47,080 Speaker 1: plus hours because you don't grab the clothes out of 413 00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:49,879 Speaker 1: the washing machine as soon as it clicks off. You know, 414 00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:52,280 Speaker 1: they sit there. Sometimes they sit there overnight. You know 415 00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:54,480 Speaker 1: what I'm talking about. You're like, oh, let's right, I 416 00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:56,480 Speaker 1: forgot to put the clothes in the dryer. Now I 417 00:25:56,520 --> 00:25:59,680 Speaker 1: have to re wash them and then get it going again. 418 00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:08,280 Speaker 1: So yeah, heat pump airflow prioritized overheat, energy efficient, way 419 00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:13,080 Speaker 1: more energy efficient, ventless, no dryer vent and no gas supply. 420 00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:20,159 Speaker 1: This simply plugs into a one hundred and twenty bolt 421 00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:26,920 Speaker 1: outlet standard outlet. Okay, it self dispenses detergent and softener. 422 00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:30,479 Speaker 1: It holds up to fifty ounces of detergent. And get this, 423 00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:34,720 Speaker 1: you with the app, you know, because you know technology. 424 00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:39,639 Speaker 1: You pull up the app, you set your brand of detergent, 425 00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:42,479 Speaker 1: your preferred brand into the app, and then the machine 426 00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:45,840 Speaker 1: will determine the proper amount to use per load and 427 00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:50,000 Speaker 1: per wash setting. Right. How about this pet hair removal? 428 00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:52,800 Speaker 1: This is something that ge added after the fact. They 429 00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:56,320 Speaker 1: didn't even realize at first. They are still learning all 430 00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:58,320 Speaker 1: of the things that they can do with a washer 431 00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:01,359 Speaker 1: dryer combo pet hair move. You know what a hassle 432 00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:04,679 Speaker 1: that is. And you know how the washing machine doesn't 433 00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:07,760 Speaker 1: necessarily help if you live in a home with lots 434 00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:11,360 Speaker 1: of pets and pet hair like we do. You know, 435 00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:14,639 Speaker 1: you put your clothes in that have pet hair stuck 436 00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:17,440 Speaker 1: to them because it's coarse, it's got all those microscopic 437 00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:21,920 Speaker 1: barbs that just clinging to your fabrics and the second 438 00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:25,040 Speaker 1: you get it wet, now it's stuck for good. So 439 00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:27,440 Speaker 1: it'll get all the way through the wash without much 440 00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:29,840 Speaker 1: of it coming off. And then the dryer doesn't help 441 00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:31,359 Speaker 1: out that much either. It's just sort of, you know, 442 00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:33,240 Speaker 1: so you're pulling clothes out of the dryer, they still 443 00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:36,160 Speaker 1: have hair on them, not all the hair, but still hair. Well, 444 00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:37,919 Speaker 1: ge figure out, you know, the best thing you can 445 00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:40,560 Speaker 1: do is shake that out. Right. So, if you happen 446 00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:44,919 Speaker 1: to have a combination wash your dryer unit and you 447 00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,920 Speaker 1: have the pet hair setting, what happens is you pop 448 00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:52,280 Speaker 1: those in there and it will tumble, dry, tumble, and 449 00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:55,720 Speaker 1: just air blow those clothes for several minutes. I don't 450 00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:58,000 Speaker 1: know how long that cycle is, but it will tumble 451 00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:01,640 Speaker 1: them and filter out knock off as much pet air 452 00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:06,240 Speaker 1: as possible before it gets the clothes wet. So first 453 00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:11,440 Speaker 1: a hair removal tumble cycle, then the wash, and then 454 00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:15,400 Speaker 1: the dry all done for you. You just pop it in, 455 00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:19,080 Speaker 1: hit the pet hair setting, boom, wash and dry and 456 00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:22,560 Speaker 1: you're out. Anyway, last thing, you know, if something goes 457 00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:26,040 Speaker 1: wrong with your appliance, like a washer dryer, you're gonna call, 458 00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:28,800 Speaker 1: you know, a service person to come out and look 459 00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:31,040 Speaker 1: at it. You don't even know what's wrong with it, right, 460 00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:33,400 Speaker 1: and you're gonna pay for that service call. If it's 461 00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:35,480 Speaker 1: not under warranty, you're gonna pay for that service call, 462 00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:39,240 Speaker 1: regardless of what they find, and then once they're there, 463 00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:41,480 Speaker 1: they'll tell you, oh, yeah, you're gonna need this thing, 464 00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:43,280 Speaker 1: but I don't have one on my truck, so it's 465 00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:45,200 Speaker 1: gonna be a couple of days before you know. That 466 00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:49,480 Speaker 1: happens all the time this unit. It doesn't necessarily solve 467 00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:53,160 Speaker 1: all of those problems, but this unit is got sensors 468 00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:58,160 Speaker 1: and intelligence built into most of the components. So this 469 00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:01,280 Speaker 1: is something where you can contact GE and they can 470 00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:07,200 Speaker 1: via Wi Fi and Internet do a self diagnostic cycle 471 00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:09,680 Speaker 1: on your machine and tell you, oh, yeah, it's a 472 00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:12,840 Speaker 1: humidity sensor. That's what it is. That's why you're having 473 00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:15,600 Speaker 1: the problem that you're having. So we'll send out a 474 00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:20,120 Speaker 1: technician with it already ready to go, one stop, one fix. 475 00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:23,440 Speaker 1: There you go. Anyway, all I'm telling you is, my 476 00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:27,360 Speaker 1: friends that things are moving forward in this area and 477 00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:31,440 Speaker 1: takes up less space, does a great job. It is 478 00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:36,000 Speaker 1: performing better even than I expected it to when I 479 00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:39,280 Speaker 1: introduced it to you two years ago. And now everybody's 480 00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:45,280 Speaker 1: catching you know, the flow of these machines. So if 481 00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:47,880 Speaker 1: you are in the market or thinking about getting a 482 00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:51,280 Speaker 1: new washer and dryer, it's not going to be for everybody, 483 00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:53,880 Speaker 1: but give it an honest. Look, because this is not 484 00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:58,800 Speaker 1: your dad's as they say, combination washer drawing, you know, 485 00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:01,400 Speaker 1: so I don't let anybody tell. Yeah, they've had these 486 00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:05,880 Speaker 1: in Europe for decades and they're terrible. You're right, those 487 00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:09,960 Speaker 1: are terrible. That's not this machine. It's a completely new 488 00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:14,920 Speaker 1: concept and it's completely different. All right. When we come back, 489 00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:19,400 Speaker 1: let's talk about some construction, any kinds of things for 490 00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:24,440 Speaker 1: your home. How about marble that bends into a radius 491 00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:31,200 Speaker 1: and OSB sheeting that is fireproof. All right, we'll talk 492 00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:34,160 Speaker 1: about that and more when we return your home the 493 00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:37,840 Speaker 1: Dean Sharp, the House Whisper.
