    New LG washer coming Thursday

    Towel with TurboWash As appnut said, it reduces time by about 5 minutes. Not sure how, because it seems to still use the recirculation even with TurboWash off. The cycle runs about 1 hour. IMHO, the Normal cycle with TurboWash is designed too much for speed anymore. BY the time you adjust the...

    KDTM604KPS

    ProDry There isn't really a need for ProDry unless the dishes are needed rather quickly. If I let the dishes sit in the Dishwasher overnight, the machine runs the fan and dishes are dry by the morning. It isn't worth the additional electricity or potential damage to dishes. I just ran ProDry...

    KDTM604KPS

    After 2 weeks of using the KDTM604KPS, I figured I would give a review of my newest purchase. As many of you know, stopmeister72 recently had his machine’s filter explode, which is seemingly common. However, murando531 and Lorainfurniture have had excellent experiences with their machines...

    New LG washer coming Thursday

    Nice! As I have mentioned a thousand other times, try the Towels cycle instead of using Normal. It does not have the option for Extra Hot, but uses a higher water level, good tumbles, and 3 interim rinses with strong interim spins. Plus the final spin isn't either 2 minutes or 30 minutes. Lol.

    I can't believe I've never thought to do this.

    Lift off toilet seats? I need those! I had no clue this was a thing! Our new house smells like pee in the bathrooms, and we have done everything other than replace the toilets. I will say, using a steam cleaner and cleaning around the bottom of the toilet does wonders! I think our issue is with...

    The unofficial cake test.

    PowerClean I, too, miss my Power Clean. KUDS25. An absolute brute force. Nothing ever came out dirty and no yibbles like some complain about. Plus, it would dry dishes like nothing I have ever used, until I purchased the KDTM604. I wouldn't dare try this test in it, but it probably would manage.

    Speed Queen 2024

    Capacity We recently moved. Installed in the new house was a BOL Roper DD. Capacity wasn't as bad as I expected, but we were doing loads of towels 2x a week. Now that we have the KenLG installed again, I can safely say that the 20 towels per load are completely normal for us, and not to mention...

    Detergent in so-called Eco Packaging

    EcoBox Thats horrible. I am on my 3rd EcoBox product, and I have never had an issue. Only complaint is that I find it hard to get all of the product out of the bag when it is nearly empty.

    Fabric Stripping: Amazing results with STPP and the Miele

    Sorry... Just now seeing this. I highly recommend using the Sanitary cycle because of the 3 rinses with higher water level, but also fairly strong interim spins. I am kinda shocked by the amount of detergent left in the clothes. However, the Normal cycle with TurboWash on leaves a lot to be...

    The Results Are In... And Its Not What You Think..! Miele T1 HP vs LG Vented Dryer

    Vented to HP I wouldn't. It seems like your energy cost is about double what mine is. However, the savings of ~$2 a month is negligible especially considering the initial purchase price. It would make more sense to me to start drying the work shirts and work pants at 'Less Dry' versus 'Normal...

    Fabric Stripping: Amazing results with STPP and the Miele

    LG Out of curiosity, what cycle did you use the most on the LG? Did you leave TurboWash on?

    Is there a future for dry cleaning?

    Dry Cleaning I highly doubt it, but it seems that the Tide Dry Cleaners in Southwest Ohio are fairly popular. I vaguely remember my parents having a few items dry cleaned. Though, they don't any more. I know my grandparents would take their couch cushions off and take them to the local dry...

    What Temperature Is Your AC Thermostat Set To?

    Whoa You guys like it warm. Our house is 71ºF during the day, and is turned down to 70ºF right before bed. Even that is too hot for my blood. It is fairly humid in Ohio right now, but has been bearable. I couldn't imagine living in the south right now.

    Miele "Jazz" Dynamic U1 Upright Motor Issues

    My used HEPA filters have always been dark after using them. Just was wondering if it was either black or covered in any material. I probably need to have mine serviced as well. Wish I could do it at home, though.

    Global Wash DW to Tahoe/Point Voyager Conversion?

    That's my point.. I would basically make the conversion on my own. Though I do not have all the parts.

    Miele "Jazz" Dynamic U1 Upright Motor Issues

    S7/U1 My Maverick is pushing 7 years old and has not had any issues. The clean air design should keep the motor free of any debris or potential restrictions of airflow after the 2 filters. Is your HEPA filter looking darker after using the vacuum?

    Global Wash DW to Tahoe/Point Voyager Conversion?

    Has anyone tried to complete a conversion from a Global Wash machine with a filter, to a Tahoe/Point Voyager? I happened to stumble upon a newer KA with the filter that is having some issues. Instead of having issues with the diverter disc, I have considered just taking the disc out, and using...

    Here we go again--the great overloading debate

    Overload We currently are using a Roper DD at our new house until the Kenmore is installed, and it takes 9 towels rather easily. For it being the smallest washer I have ever used, it actually takes quite a bit. Though, it could take 10 if the water level actually filled just above the top row...
