    Consumer Reports: Dishwasher Brand Reliability

    @ Jim : thank you so much, was not aware of that ! @ Eugene : you wrote you usually cook for SIX person, it makes a lot of sense to run the DW after each meal. In my household we're in 2 and we run the DW every 3rd meal. I guess you have very big pots (two loads of pots...) otherwise you don't...

    Sanitizing Laundry Without Chlorine Bleach

    Paulo is right, most of the colorfast garments (undies,socks, towels, sheets, towels, bathrobes ...) can be washed @ 140°F with proper detergents without optical brighteners. IMHO Asko manuals give a nice advice : they say that every garment that comes in contact with skin has to be washed @...

    Is Miele Fading Away?

    Doug, yes that's right ... after the last rinse drain you can't ever think to handle dishes without scalding yourself Residential mieles have a *concealed* element (it is a coil winded up on the outlet hose of the wash pump- check the shot in the next link) while semi commercial G 8000 series...

    Is Miele Fading Away?

    a Miele with exposed heating element Doug, the commercial model G 7856 has very fast wash cycles (round 10 minutes) with optional drying step (further 10 mins). Two downsides - it draws round 7000 or 8000 W - its price is round 3330 € (twice than a La Perla....)...

    Is Miele Fading Away?

    Stainless tub Jim, the stainless tub has very little to do with the hidden heating element. Stainless tubs appeared in early seventies, people was tired of enamel that chipped and rusted ... we had stainless tub dishwashers with exposed heating elements for almost two decades. The first...

    Custom Pedestal for Miele W3033 / T8003

    Is that pedestal safe ? "Condolences, he was a big, nice kid ..." LOL Sorry Andrew, I know you put a lot of work in it ... but can't resist : your pedestal, as it is raised on those trestles, actually looks like a white coffin for big kids *LOL* Seriously talking, I have a concern about...

    Cold Water Washing: The Debate Goes On

    Keven true ... someone may be a bit germ-o-phobic .... but why are you so unfair with those peoople who **actually** are allergic to dust and dustmites? One has to try to deal with an ashma attack. They aren't paranoid ... they actually suffer and they have to follow particular...

    Cold Water Washing: The Debate Goes On

    Not only the Medicwash/Allerwash does boilwash ... but whatever other Miele and whatever other european frontloader, even the 200 € el cheapo one Keven the very only differences in that machine are the neverendig "cottons hygiene" and "easycare hygiene" that have a longer holding time of the...

    Latest Electrolux dishwashers ProClean/RealLife

    another vid of the AEG Favorit Pro Clean They seem have gone back to their good old suspended wash pump system ... last pumps they used weren't this way and were obviously noisier than 10-12 older AEG DW http://buve-vanroy.be/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/silent-dish-music_0001.wmv

    Bosch VT 596 Washer Dryer

    Chris ! Listen to Henna, please ! Henna, your mid eighties Bosch is built like a tank, it is comparable to a Miele. Current Bosch washers with their plenty of plastics can only dream about that stainless steel doorframe. It is rated 6 Kg washing / 3 Kg drying, despite it has a 65 litre drum as...

    Cold Water Washing: The Debate Goes On

    Induction water heating element in a frontloader theoretically it is possible with a stainless steel outer tub : the magnet induces a current in the tub that generates heat because of Joule effect. Actually a regular heating element is cheaper and far more vibration resistant than a induction...
