Nice Bosch machines After over a month of use I am really liking these Bosch machines. Rinsing is excellent esp. with extra rinse but even without it's great. Clothes come out very clean and soft with just 1 1/2 tablespoon of Tide.

Just bought a somewhat used 2008 Miele Antares. No wand so I had to order that. The hose and "turbo" brush are in great shape. I have bags on order and can't wait to try out this baby. Tom

jumper One time I washed a "coverlet" (basically a bedspread) in my little Danby (Gorenje) front loader. It was in my laundry room off the garage. The spin was set to max (1000 rpm). I started it and went inside and a while later I heard this banging noise coming from the garage that sounded...

condenser tech That's really interesting about the different designs of the condenser systems. I've never had one before now. All the dryers I've every owned were either vented electric or gas. I still like my Kenmore Series 70 circa 1991 gas dryer. Gas dryers seem to be less likely to...

condenser dryers cfz2882 that's interesting. I cleaned the condenser core on my Bosch after I had already used it for something like 5 loads only because it was used when I got it. It had some lint in it but was really not that dirty at all. The performance of the dryer was really good...

Bosch machines Thanks oliveoiltinfoil. I agree the build quality of these machines is very good. The dryer I got through eBay from California looked like it had been through WWIII when I received it (the top/shelf was broken like something huge fell on it; several dents in the sides). The...

Recently received my new Bosch washer and dryer. They are the discontinued Ascenta series for my new laundry closet. I like them a lot.

Here are some pics of my new laundry closet added in a closet of an extra bedroom. All things considered it was very easy but buying the pex crimping tool was pricey. My 2004 Danby is shown when it's finished but a Bosch ventless dryer and 2.2 cf washer is on order (both open box ebay stuff)...

Whatever Anybody who insists on washing with cold water deserves what they get no matter what type of machine they have. Oh the label says that....HA! They just don't want to put up with people who say "oh this has faded and you didn't tell me!" Please. On the other hand "hot" is totally...

people being supposedly dumber I grew up in the 1960s and 1970s and I found out that people actually believed that the people in Hooterville actually existed. Lisa Douglas had a lot of extension cords to make her horrible biscuits! Hooterville telcom didn't have enough wire so they had to...

Fixed Danby/Gorenje Hey Ingemar, mine is a 110V unit but on the capacitor (RSO filter) it says 12.5A 275V 50Hz. It also says KPL 3008. I'm totally psyched my machine now works like new again. Tom

It was the capacitor! Duh If anybody has one of these Danby DWM5500 machines that can't handle what they are supposed to, replace the capacitor. I put up with mine only handling about 5 lbs of load for years when it's rated for 10 lbs. I just found a used capacitor for $10 online and now the...
