The thing with top loaders that I have found is that one needs more detergent since the washer uses much more water for the wash solution than a front loader where there is less water and the detergent is much more concentrated to get the job done. I have had an SQ AWN311 top loader and will...

When I had my Miele dishwasher the manual explicitly said not to use any other salt but dishwasher salt since it was pure. The reason being was the media in the water softener unit would be damaged if any other salt was used. I always used either Miele branded salt or Somat dishwasher salt and...

When I had my Miele I used the Miele brand salt and I also used Somat. You can get both on Amazon. To me there is no difference since they are the same coarseness and color and both do their job well.

These machines are not Genius branded , they are Primus branded SQ Alliance built machines.

I have some experience with the Somat line of dishwasher detergents. I buy them from Amazon and while they are not cheap by any means, what detergent is these days. I have used the Somat Classic Powder and it does a decent job cleaning and has a scent that I could describe as lemony in ways. The...

You need a new drive belt. The belts on these SQ washers wear and that’s the telltale sign you need a new drive belt is that it will show up in water extraction. Also I am willing to bet that even agitation isn’t quite a vigorous as it once was. The water drain pump on these are direct drive and...

Ah the art of Dishwasher Tetris.

I have this 26 cuft LG fridge that has been flawless since we bought it 4 years ago. It’s very quiet perhaps the quietest fridge I have ever had the pleasure of owning. It has two ice makers , one in the door of the fridge and one in the freezer. I would definitely get another one if I had to...

I don't think that this dishwasher was even remotely built by GE..It smells of Haier and made in China. The back part of the tank reminds me of the Danby machine a friend of mine had and the filtration system is not GE based. I could be wrong but it looks awfully similar. The upper rack is also...

That is very true with LG front load washers where it uses less in the wash cycle and uses plenty of water for rinsing. I know with my LG washer that is the way it is...the Normal cycle is the stingiest with water in the wash cycle where it cycles the recirculation pump for the TurboWash on and...

I use the Persil Color Powder and get great results. One thing with the MegaPearls is that if you have a washer that does not have a recirculation system, my late Frigidaire built GE front loader did not have one, the Pearls will go right thru the drum and into the pump sump boot and will just...

I remember when that SmartWash system came out and seeing a demo dishwasher at Lechmere had plexiglass panel in the front along with a switch to turn it on and there was a light in the dishwasher to illuminate the tank so one could see how the wash system worked. I was intrigued to say the...

I also want to add that Finish Quantum and the Ultimate versions do clean well in my machine. But I cannot use Cascade Complete Powder though. It leaves this white film on the tank and racks not to mention on my glassware. I could use Cascade Complete Powder when we lived in Mass with no issues...

I have been using Somat Gold in my LG dishwasher with excellent results. Our water here in FL is a tad hard and the Somat works quite well in the conditions I have here. Finish Ultimate I find has one annoying issue , at least in the pouch I bought was one of the chambers burst and as a result...

Sorry for the double posting….somehow it did that
