    Dishwashers losing popularity in US Homes???

    Jon, the matter is not the usefulness, which is largely subjective, but it is the manipulation and profiling I haven't missed that you have disregarded my point, so I repeat it here: have you ever wondered why do you need an app to use additional programmes? And now, do you wonder why you...

    Dishwashers losing popularity in US Homes???

    Just as an example, you have never asked why you need an app to use additional programmes that could be directly on the machine, and probably are. Instead you have passively accepted that the app is needed to use those programmes as they told you, and maybe you haven't even thought that of the...

    Dishwashers losing popularity in US Homes???

    Admittedly, this can be useful, but the last thing that I want is to wait to be told that the laundry is dry, but here to each his own, as they say Which you could also do with a simple timer on the machine, and forces you to spend your time waiting to be told that the free electricity time has...

    Refrigerator Emblems of the world

    Welcome to the forum, Richard, and I see that from the Netherlands you have collected also some Italian emblems (and a Radiomarelli fridge it's actually a rarity)

    If you have to change your washer dryer set front load washer and topload washer modern and vintage what would you need in term of features?

    That's exactly what I do with my "modern" electronic washing machine (actually, I do the same with my "modern" electronic dishwasher): am I the only one?

    Dishwashers losing popularity in US Homes???

    This it not true, it is just another of the many lies spread over the net. Assuming that "oxygen bleach" means sodium percarbonate, it works also in cold water, the agitation is sufficient to dissolve it and make it to do its job, which is to decompose into oxygen and sodium carbonate. For...

    What’s your favourite washing machine cleaner?

    I strongly disagree, this is just conventional wisdom. It is true that washing habits may make the issue better or worse, but any cleaner needs to be cleaned every now and then, and just to name the most obvious, for civilised washers equipped with the mandatory heater, descaling is necessary...

    What’s your favourite washing machine cleaner?

    Same here, and I do regularly wash rags at about 50 °C with dishwasher powder, so in one go I clean the rags and the machine

    Bose buys McIntosh (audio equipment)

    Does it? Really? And since when? And what "control" do you mean'

    Bose buys McIntosh (audio equipment)

    It is easy to reduce harmonic distortion: you just have to add lots of negative feedback, which is exactly what the Japanese manufacturers used to do when audio equipment was assessed based on their specifications, and when some manufacturers were trying to use the specifications as a selling...

    Why Modern Cars Need Master Switches

    Here I am lost, Chetlaham: I am sure you have a quite accurate idea of how many cents such a mechanical device would cost. But I am also confused because this is a mechanical device while, if I am not wrong, we were talking about electronics. And I am pretty sure that the old mechanical...

    Why Modern Cars Need Master Switches

    I will not annoy you with the details, Chetlaham, but believe me: the matter is much, much, much more complex that this, and it takes really a lot of knowledge and expertise to master it. And is case you wonder, you have just raised the most complex and fundamental problem of "safety", and when...

    Why Modern Cars Need Master Switches

    First: electronics can be made very, very, very, very, "safe", but it is expensive and requires competence, experience and skills which are in very short supply on the market. Second: cars are meant to be cheap, not to be safe; even the standard of automotive safety, the ISO 26262, is the most...

    Cigarette Stale OLD smell on comforter not coming out in wash

    Try ammonia, it is a good deodoriser, does not need too much effort to rinse, and it is generally safe for fabrics. As an added benefit, it will also remove residues of detergent and fabric softener

    ATTENTION ALL MEMBERS - Please Read This...

    I miss that too, but I have found a "solution": I open the list the forum in one tab and from there I open the forum I want to see on a new tab, so that the first tab always shows the lists of the forums. I hope this is understandable and maybe it also helps a bit

    GE UltraFresh Vent System actually works!

    "It allows us to keep the door closed when the washer is not in use." What's wrong with keeping the door (and the detergent drawer) ajar?

    GE Monogram DW - Is it getting enough water?

    If this is of any comfort, I have the same issue with my European AEG/Electrolux dishwasher even using the 70 °C / 158 °F "Pots and Pans" cycle with the "Extra Clean" option, which increases both the time and the water pressure. At least in my dishwasher, the problem is that there isn't any...
