    Appliance Satisfaction Remains High as Customers Focus on Reliability, J.D. Power Finds Samsung Wins 9 and LG Wins 2 Segment Awards; Best Buy Ranks Highest among Appliance Retailers TROY, Mich.: 22 July 2021 — During the past year, there were similar amounts of appliance shoppers needing new appliances because their existing ones failed, as there were customers needing to service their appliance but opted to purchase a new one, according to the J.D. Power 2021 Appliance Satisfaction Study,SM released today. With total price paid for appliances increasing from 2020, customers are valuing good price points, sales and brand reviews when selecting a new appliance. “Since the uncertainty that came from 2020, we continue to see appliance customers prioritize performance and reliability over features, styling,” said Christina Cooley, home intelligence lead at J.D. Power. “Even if a customer’s existing appliance could be fixed, many were opting to purchase a new one that could better meet the current demands of everyone being home 24/7 and not wanting to worry about long-term dependability. Customers are taking their time—around 10 days—to research and decide what appliance is right for them.” The Appliance Satisfaction Study measures customer satisfaction in 12 segments of major home appliances: cooktops; freestanding ranges; wall ovens; over-the-range microwaves; dishwashers; French door refrigerators; side-by-side refrigerators; top-mount freezer, two-door refrigerators; front-load clothes washers; top-load clothes washers; clothes dryers; and appliance retailers. Study Rankings Cooktop Samsung (896) ranks highest in customer satisfaction among cooktops, followed by LG (893) and GE (868).

  • An Analysis of Hegemonic Social Structures in "Friends"
    "I'LL BE THERE FOR YOU" IF YOU ARE JUST LIKE ME: AN ANALYSIS OF HEGEMONIC SOCIAL STRUCTURES IN "FRIENDS" Lisa Marie Marshall A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2007 Committee: Katherine A. Bradshaw, Advisor Audrey E. Ellenwood Graduate Faculty Representative James C. Foust Lynda Dee Dixon © 2007 Lisa Marshall All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Katherine A. Bradshaw, Advisor The purpose of this dissertation is to analyze the dominant ideologies and hegemonic social constructs the television series Friends communicates in regard to friendship practices, gender roles, racial representations, and social class in order to suggest relationships between the series and social patterns in the broader culture. This dissertation describes the importance of studying television content and its relationship to media culture and social influence. The analysis included a quantitative content analysis of friendship maintenance, and a qualitative textual analysis of alternative families, gender, race, and class representations. The analysis found the characters displayed actions of selectivity, only accepting a small group of friends in their social circle based on friendship, gender, race, and social class distinctions as the six characters formed a culture that no one else was allowed to enter. iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This project stems from countless years of watching and appreciating television. When I was in college, a good friend told me about a series that featured six young people who discussed their lives over countless cups of coffee. Even though the series was in its seventh year at the time, I did not start to watch the show until that season.

This led to the development of vacuum cleaners that could assist us with such a task. Modern appliances are delivering convenience and reducing time spent on house chores. While vacuum cleaners have made home cleaning manageable, they are mostly noisy and bulky for everyday use. Modern robotic vacuums deliver consistent performance and enhanced cleaning features, but continue to struggle with uneven terrain and navigation challenges. This whitepaper will take a more in-depth look at the problem faced by the robotic vacuum cleaner (RVC) in avoiding obstacles and entanglement and how we can arrive at a solution depending on the functionalities. 3 [email protected] Optimizing cleaning efficiency of robotic vacuum cleaner 2.0 INTRODUCTION The earliest robotic vacuums did one thing passably well. They danced randomly over a smooth or flat surface, sucking up some dirt and debris until their battery charge got low and they had to return to their docks. They could more or less clean a space without the ability to understand it. Today’s robotic cleaners have made huge strides over the past few years.

    A MODERN FAMILY: THE PERFORMANCE OF “FAMILY” AND FAMILIALISM IN CONTEMPORARY TELEVISION SERIES by Jennifer M. Fogel A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Communication) in The University of Michigan 2012 Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Amanda D. Lotz, Chair Professor Susan J. Douglas Professor Regina Morantz-Sanchez Associate Professor Bambi L. Haggins, Arizona State University © Jennifer M. Fogel 2012 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I owe my deepest gratitude to the members of my dissertation committee – Dr. Susan J. Douglas, Dr. Bambi L. Haggins, and Dr. Regina Morantz-Sanchez, who each contributed their time, expertise, encouragement, and comments throughout this entire process. These women who have mentored and guided me for a number of years have my utmost respect for the work they continue to contribute to our field. I owe my deepest gratitude to my advisor Dr. Amanda D. Lotz, who patiently refused to accept anything but my best work, motivated me to be a better teacher and academic, praised my successes, and will forever remain a friend and mentor. Without her constructive criticism, brainstorming sessions, and matching appreciation for good television, I would have been lost to the wolves of academia. One does not make a journey like this alone, and it would be remiss of me not to express my humble thanks to my parents and sister, without whom seven long and lonely years would not have passed by so quickly. They were both my inspiration and staunchest supporters. Without their tireless encouragement, laughter, and nurturing this dissertation would not have been possible.
