Handy Andy Baryer tackles a string of kitchen appliance fixes, from a stubborn coffee maker sensor to the real science behind dishwasher habits, before pivoting into a $3,500 foldable phone and a sleep tracking habit that can quietly work against you.

The Carafe That Started It All

A coffee maker breakdown turns into an hour of stubborn DIY troubleshooting and a mid-conversation vocabulary lesson. Baryer also settles the dishwasher versus hand washing debate with the actual environmental math, and lays out how to dry fresh herbs at home instead of buying them dried.

The $3,500 Phone and the Sleep Score Obsession

Baryer reviews Samsung's new Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and explains why phone leasing might replace buying outright as prices climb. He also unpacks orthosomnia, the sleep tracking fixation that can leave people sleeping worse than before they started measuring it.
