Miele and their obsession with the word "comfort"... they've even named the cord rewind button on their vacuum cleaners that lol

Hi all, I'm looking for information on a stove my mother owned growing up. It was a Chef "Diamond Re-ignition" 54cm natural gas stove. It had electronic ignition, a wok burner, gas grill, fan-forced oven and a digital clock/timer. It was styled like most of the Chef range of the time (late...

I can vouch for this; the Westinghouse 60cm stove only *just* fits in our kitchen, as the space for it was designed for a 54cm stove, which we had beforehand.

From personal experience, I would highly recommend the Bosch. I only have a Serie 2 dishwasher which is super basic, but the features it can do, it does extremely well! Their higher grade ones like Serie 6 and 8 are available in that integrated style you're looking for, from memory. I've never...

You're right about paid partnership; it's extremely common to see a "[insert brand here] recommends Finish" sticker affixed to the top of the dishwasher door. The only exception was my last dishwasher, which was from Aldi; had a "Stirling recommends Logix" sticker, for their own brand of...

You can never go wrong with Finish; I find even their basic/starter range dishwasher products work better than other brands' top-of-the-line offerings. Store brand powder works okay too if you're in a pinch. Aldi used to do good tablets, but have since discontinued them and their replacement is...

Update on the Hisense fridge It died completely last week; was replaced with a Westinghouse WTM4302WD-R, which arrived today.

A few people I know personally have Hisense TVs and they're very happy with them!

Temperature control is on a front exterior panel in °C increments. It blows cold air into the fridge and freezer compartments with fans, which stop when doors open, then run again once doors close. Does this indicate microprocessor control? Mum usually has it set to 3°C for the fridge and -20°C...

NoSense... hahahaha I love that, go Marilynn 😂

It's a very nice looking fridge!

I've only got the most basic Serie 2 (SMS24AI01A) with like, 4 cycles on a knob selector, but even that goes so much better than my last non-Bosch dishwasher! You've done the right thing by removing the filter and cleaning that off first. You don't need to add a tablet or powder if you're using...

Hi all, My mum's fridge is currently having a couple of issues. It's a Hisense HR6TFF534SD, purchased new in late 2020. The fridge compartment's door seal has split in a few places, especially on the bottom seal strip, where it has just about split all the way across. Mum suspects this is why...

Currently mid-winter where I am (southern hemisphere) My recently-installed central ducted "reverse cycle" heating and cooling is working wonders! Not sure what the imperial numbers are, but I have 12.5 kW capacity heating (10 kW cooling) for 93 square metres of living space. Thermostat is set...

Haier machines aren't the worst; I regularly use a HWT10ANB1 and I think it washes pretty well compared to other modern HE top-loaders on the market today. Its "high" water setting actually fills the entire bowl and can do extra rinse on any cycle. Most of their current machines on the...
