Appletini There are several ways to make an Appletini, one of the easiest is Apple Pucker and Vodka. There is also Apple flavored Vodka shaken over ice and then served with a wedge of apple on the glass. While they are good, they are almost the exact opposite of a Gin Martini in flavor so I...

Keven, Thank you for the information. I think I am going to have to purchase a box of Persil. The "Vollwaschmittel" that you mentioned, is that able to be used for both colors and white? I have to agree with the Whirlpool comment, they just arent what they used to be. Im a big fan of German...

Wash Cycle TImes We have been noticed that the Bosch has been doubling the time of the wash, running an entire program cycle over again when it really should have been ending. According to the instruction book it is because the machine has sensed to many suds in the water and needs to wash them...

Sudsshane, I live in Commack, its part of Suffolk county only a few minutes from the Nassau border on the North Shore. Are you from LI? Funguy10, Although we liked the Fisher & Paykel, we were a bit disappointed with the life of the unit. For what we paid for the machine it should have lasted...

dj-gabriele,aside from the fact that the Bosch received an excellent rating in Consumer Reports, along with a good rating from those on this forum, we chose this unit because we didnt need the pedestal! The Whirlpool Duet and the LG units seem to sit much lower than the Bosch. Although the Duet...

New Bosch I just wanted to say that I love our new Bosch washer!! We really liked the Fisher & Paykel and thought that machine was quiet compared to the Kenmore/Whirlpool it replaced, but the Bosch is almost silent!! Its just as quiet as our Bosch dishwasher. I really like the variety in water...

New Bosch Thanks everyone for your imput! The repair man came out today and he thought it was the diverter valve too, but it turns out the vavle was fine and the main control board in the unit was shot. So at $400 for the repair we declined and went right out and bought the new Bosch Nexxt 500...

Thanks for all the info, I really appriciate it. If its just the valve I will be very happy, we really do love this washer. Its still in perfect condition, never abused, and cleans well. The F & P replaced a washer that was at least 20 years old, we used it for about 15 years and it was in the...

Sorry, I meant the Bosch Nexxt 500

Our 6 1/2 year old Fisher & Paykel is not working correctly. The unit runs but its not pumping the water out during the spin cycle. It will occasionally pump some and leave the rest, filtering it though the drum over and over again. Anyway, we are having a service person come to look at it but...

I'm not an expert but Nowak could certainly suffer from bipolar disorder or manic depression. What I have learned over the years is that those who are manic are almost like someone who has split personalities, they act in an irrational manner that I not how they would typically act. This is...

Tires I had set of Continental Conti-Sport Extreme on the BMW I used to have and they were ok. However, they were soo noisy, rode rough and wore quickly. Anyway, I bent three of the rims on my car, BMW rims are very easily bent due to the low profile tires with the sports package, but when my...
