I would have to be on the side of purchasing the better product and personal productivity. If and inevitably that pc. of equipment/appliance breaks I would find a local, a drive by drop off or yes, dispose of said item. Some items I keep anything that can be uses in another or similar pc. Of equipment/appliance.

I used to do this and leave the extra for later to reheat. The water sitting to long and constantly reheated changes the tea taste to 'tin-ish' or 'metal-ley' or definable as 'Iron-ish', depending on the kettles metal. Ithen was not only wasting energy (electric but guess what fires the plant), but wasting filtered and RO well water! Now I guess-timate two 12 oz mugs and would rather fill for another IF he and I or me and another want another. Lower water heats quickly and b4 anyone says anything; I abhor microwaving my good water or most anything I can wait on. Waiting gives time for a load of laundry or a quick shower and change of clothes!

That is a bed bug. Food grade diatomacous earth. Not harmful to things with bones. Read about it from the website here. Forum talks about diatomacous earth uses but it is recommended by authors on a Google search from https://richsoil.com/diatomaceous-earth.jsp and when one clicks on what is DE you come here. That is not a flea. I'm sorry. I'm being treated chemically or have to move. Used DE 3 mos. ago and must've missed somewhere cause found more last week. I still recommend DE just do not miss any baseboards and launder anything on floors or dust them as well. I have boxes and books that they must've made it into our curtains I just took down in my bedroom a week before their return!  Now all Will be bagged and washed then dried in those too hot commercial dryers. If it ruins them ohhh well, rather kill these pesky buggers once and for all! My dog and lizard have to leave for the toxins on Monday. They were fine with the DE, so was I without a mask while applying but I don't have breathing issues where the dust can irritate. My caregiver isn't bothered by the DE either. A lizard would be susceptible if anything and his cage wasnt covered when I dusted heavily. Not a vet so I would cover cage if truly worried. Good luck! Again, I'm so sorry!
