Nice! I have a 604 and it has been flawless. Only complaint, no low rinse aid light. We use ProWash almost exclusively. I rarely use heated dry because of the fan drying system. Very little remaining water on Tupperware. Cascade actionpacs have worked the best for us. The little filter in the...

EC30 That immediately came to mind. I find it funny that P$G is testing the water with some new ideas under different brand names. IE 9Elements fabric rinse then Downy Rinse and Refresh. The Tide Evo guaranteed will be ~$0.60 or more per 'pack'. Not sure it will do well.  However, I do like...

new standards appnut.. couldn't agree more. I often times use Sanitize just to get a true hot wash. Thus, I am using MORE electric that way. Normal cycle with hot setting is a true warm wash. Before too long the warm water temp will be lower than that of the cold temp.  Now for dryers, I'm...

4WD I love my 4Runner. Not sure I can go back to anything else. John, congrats on the new van. I know you have been talking about it for a while.

appnut Usually our experiences are the same if not very similar, however, my KA outperforms my Bosch, including with drying.   

Great idea! Nice to see you back Andrew. Give me a few days and I can contribute to the thread!

Point voyager vs Clean water wash After owning both, there is no comparison. The Clean Water Wash design is significantly better. Though, that version of the Point Voyager is more of the Tahoe design which did clean better, but also ran 2.5 hours for a cycle. The Clean Water Wash DW should be a...

Pods What is funny is that powders, as previously listed, are the most environmentally friendly dye to the recyclable box, but the fact that you aren’t transporting large volumes of water (liquids). Manufacturers will not be influenced to produce more powders. Rather, find another way to...

Detergent FWIW, the cheapest Cascade ActionPacs clean just as well, but leave far less streaks on my dishes compared to Finish Quantum. This probably is due to the addition of Trisodium Dicarboxymethyl Alaninate which is great for both water softening as well as degreasing. The dark green...

warm rinse This is a feature I miss quite a bit from my Duet. Loads of towels and whites were very soft and well rinsed. The fabric softener dispenser was always spotless and it would spread through the towels far more evenly compared to a cold rinse. 

Sensor My new KitchenAid microwave has a Popcorn button that is a sensor 'program'. I would imagine it works based off of moisture, but it is dead accurate every time. I couldn't imagine the sound based sensors being any more accurate or even necessary. All older microwaves have required a...

Dishwasher This actually looks a lot like the newer Whirlpool rotating filter design. That would make for one hell of a deal.

Ariel pods My absolute favorite detergent. Yes, they have a strong scent, but it smells better than a majority if US detergents. Plus the Phosphodiesterase does wonders. I have considered ordering more but the cost is just crazy. 

French press with fresh ground Meijer organic Columbian blend. Not much better than that. Plus, much less plastic waste and toxic stagnant water from a Keurig. 

tempting I think I would have to find a new place to live at this point, as someone wouldn't be happy about the purchase. The Duet dryer is a little slow now, so I am not sure I could deal with the extended cycle times. 

cavitation Does this just happen during the main wash, or does it occur during prewash and rinses?

I disagree In our old house we had severely hard water. This product saved our laundry. I do currently use it on fleece blankets, sheets, and other loads of laundry which I use powder on. The difference is actually greater than you would think. Items are softer and fluffier. But take my...

To be honest... Depending on what is wrong or going on with the Neptune, it could be worth fixing IMHO. However, I also recommend an LG set, though they aren't perfect. The Speed Queen FF7 would also be a great choice. If you don't need a dryer, it is worth considering just buying the washer...

Loading That is some great loading in the Miele. Though, the racks are one thing that did steer me away. It does seem you can hold quite a bit.  As previously mentioned, the newer KA and Maytag machines with the 3rd rack hold lots of stuff.    I have always liked the deep menu settings that...

Interesting Very cool to see this in practice. I had imagined a dishwasher design that used vacuum insulation to reduce running costs. Of course, that may be a potential design in the near future.
