As others have said, I would research Brother printers and get one. They are not fussy about 'genuine' consumables. Wirecutter recommends HL-L2350DW or MFCL2750DW. The latter is similar to one I have, Brother DCPL2540DW. Going strong after 9 years of regular use.

I have bought a good number of phones from Ebay/Swappa. The phone conditions on Ebay I found to be better than stated. Whether its a 'really' new or not, you will most likely never know because all phones are wiped clean before sold. If you ever suspect, its not new as stated, you can always...

STRONGLY suggest AGAINST buying from 3rd party on Walmart. If any issues arises, you most likely will be SOL. I found eBay/Swappa to be better options. Ebay has it for $249 (https://www.ebay.com/itm/204640563153)

2006 Sentra 1.8S torque converter threw a code (P0744) out of nowhere. Transmission fluid was regularly changed. The mechanic wasn't inclined on spending money trying to figure out or replace it. I really wanted to find out what caused it because I took it to work in the afternoon, it was fine...

I am curious where do folks find 0W-16 5 qt containers of Castrol? All I can find from regular sources are 1 qt bottles. Mobil 1 AFE 0w-16 is the only $2x.xx, rest all are $30+

That is expensive. My local dealer used to charge $6, Haven't checked in a couple of years. Other local dealers on part.subaru.com are charging $9.xx at the moment.

TBH, I didn't check. I just let oil drain and don't look at it for 15 minutes. I chose Valvomax over Fumoto because the way they operate. I dislike tap-like locking feature on Fumoto.

Subaru filter. Some dealerships have black filters in stock. These came with Japanese built cars, supposedly little better than the blue ones. Also, consider installing oil drain valve. That will make oil change very easy. Other options is Fumoto, but I liked this one better.

AARP Tax-aide is the best I have found so far. Volunteers working there are actual accountants/tax professionals. have been using them for almost 10 years, never had complaints.

I noticed gas stain on Camry. I tried wiping with soap, paint cleaner (Klasse AIO) but was unsuccessful. Before washing/cleaning the area After trying to clean with Klasse AIO I have been searching the web for solutions. Some has suggested claybar/polish, even Goo Gone. Goo Gone user was...

Thank you, folks. This plan is still 2 years out. When our son starts driving he gets this forester and DW gets a new car. I will have to look into the steering wheel itself. DW is Dear Wife. Yes, this Forester has heated seats. Thats the reason I thought, there is a possibility that it is...

2015 Forester does not have a heated steering wheel. The new Camry has a heated steering wheel. DW liked it and wished having it on Forester. I looked, but most look flimsy with cigarette lighter connections. Are there any really good ones either direct tapping into the fuse or cigarette...

I buy my most of the electronics refurbished. As long as its a reputed manufacturer, you are good That said, I just built a gaming desktop at Microcenter. Would avoid Intel processor ending in F. Got Ryzen 7 7800X3d with Gigabyte 4070i, including 3 year total replacement warranty for $2126...
