I also am not happy with Lowes anymore, they frequently don't answer the store phone, and buying online they fail to have all the orders ready to pick up at the same time resulting in a lot of trips to the store, being 25 miles away that adds up both ways in fuel costs they have become lazy in...

My neighbor has a class A motor home and the freezer gets cold after automatically resetting the pilot light but the refrigerator does not get any coldness to it at all. I did notice that the fridge freezer will run on gas or electric but don't know if that means the electrical is a back up...

After reading all the bad reviews on the electric skillet it is headed out to the round file, the site explained the problems, thanks Neil.

We were given a Rival Electrical Skillet model number S16RB by some relatives and found that if you need to have the temperature up to 400 degrees to cook something it will shut itself off. Turning it down to 250 degrees and it will stay on and of course cook your item very much slower. Is...
