    Bosch or Miele dishwasher

    ...but also because this way the cable unwinds and rewinds while you move, and you don't have it laying around while you vacuum. Electrolux had the same feature but they called it "auto rewind" if I remeber correctly. And yes: I liked it and I miss it (for some reason, it is not available...

    Vintage Food Advertisements: Part Twenty-five

    Mayonnaise is a very unstable emulsion (the only emulsifier is the lecithin in the egg yolk): if you don't add some starch, it will not hold together enough to be sold and would probably not survive the pasteurisation. I have never seen an industrial mayonnaise without some sort of starch, the...

    AEG connection issues

    My Miele washing machine does not connect to the app if they are not on the same network: may this be the issue? For clarity: the app is on my phone, which connects to the "main" network, while the washing machine is connected as a "guest" and hence on a different network

    Vintage Food Advertisements: Part Twenty-five

    Message #49 about Best Foods / Hellmann's mayonnaise makes me curious: but is it really possible to make industrial mayonnaise without "starchy fillers" as they say? Or it is just that it contains starch to hold it together like any other industrial mayonnaise?

    Dishwashers losing popularity in US Homes???

    Jon, the matter is not the usefulness, which is largely subjective, but it is the manipulation and profiling I haven't missed that you have disregarded my point, so I repeat it here: have you ever wondered why do you need an app to use additional programmes? And now, do you wonder why you...

    Dishwashers losing popularity in US Homes???

    Just as an example, you have never asked why you need an app to use additional programmes that could be directly on the machine, and probably are. Instead you have passively accepted that the app is needed to use those programmes as they told you, and maybe you haven't even thought that of the...

    Dishwashers losing popularity in US Homes???

    Admittedly, this can be useful, but the last thing that I want is to wait to be told that the laundry is dry, but here to each his own, as they say Which you could also do with a simple timer on the machine, and forces you to spend your time waiting to be told that the free electricity time has...

    Refrigerator Emblems of the world

    Welcome to the forum, Richard, and I see that from the Netherlands you have collected also some Italian emblems (and a Radiomarelli fridge it's actually a rarity)

    If you have to change your washer dryer set front load washer and topload washer modern and vintage what would you need in term of features?

    That's exactly what I do with my "modern" electronic washing machine (actually, I do the same with my "modern" electronic dishwasher): am I the only one?

    Need help identifying a plastic part – Electrolux dryer

    Dishwashers losing popularity in US Homes???

    This it not true, it is just another of the many lies spread over the net. Assuming that "oxygen bleach" means sodium percarbonate, it works also in cold water, the agitation is sufficient to dissolve it and make it to do its job, which is to decompose into oxygen and sodium carbonate. For...

    What’s your favourite washing machine cleaner?

    I strongly disagree, this is just conventional wisdom. It is true that washing habits may make the issue better or worse, but any cleaner needs to be cleaned every now and then, and just to name the most obvious, for civilised washers equipped with the mandatory heater, descaling is necessary...

    What’s your favourite washing machine cleaner?

    Same here, and I do regularly wash rags at about 50 °C with dishwasher powder, so in one go I clean the rags and the machine
