    New Dishwasher ordered

    Initial Observations I have been using the new Maytag for about a month. Here's what I like: Very good washing using the Auto cycle. The Quick cycle is not as thorough. I do not mind the long cycles. I am rinsing the dishes but not as much as I used to. Two times there was food in the...

    P&G Raising Prices on Tide & Other Laundry Products

    Coupons Proctor and Gamble the maker of Tide has online coupons. I use these to buy two Tide Liquid with Bleach. Usually keep a box of powder Tide on hand too but lately the coupons are not good for that. The site says you can only print one coupon but I just set my printer to print two...

    New Dishwasher ordered

    Too many models Maytag makes too many models. If I had taken more time I would have ordered a model with the fan for drying. So far this one dries as well as my old dishwasher. The washing is much better, removing lots of gunk that I used to scrub off. This model is alternating to how many...

    Meat Loaf Pan The glass Meat Loaf pan came out squeaky clean. Lots of residue on it before washing. Happy with that.

    New Dishwasher ordered

    Havn't had it long enough John Today is only the second full load. I put large spoons on the third rack. I am one of the "I do it every night" partial load users. But I actually do it in the morning because of cheaper electricity during the morning hours. Seems if I wait and do a really...

    New Dishwasher ordered

    I suspected I thought that might be the case. Another feature, miss-described in the literature, there is a small light on the front panel. When washing it glows blue, drying red, and when the cycle is done it glows white.

    New Dishwasher ordered

    Arrived and Installed My new Maytag Dishwasher arrived today. I am showing three photos of the old one, which I have had for 20 years. It stopped working then started working again. I still wanted the new one. You can see the three racks. I have only run the rinse cycle and short cycle...

    New Dishwasher ordered

    My 20 year old Sears Kenmore Ultrawash Dishwasher is not completing the cycles. Yesterday it was stuck in the rinse position on the timer and would only run for 10 seconds then stop. I thought it might be the heated water system stopping it so I deselected the option and tried other cycles. I...

    Good-Bye To Gas Kitchen, Hot Water & Heating & Laundry Appliances In NYC

    Finland handling Nuclear Power Finland is an example of how one country is handling power production. They have Nuclear Power and are building more. They also have planned for the disposal of the spent fuel. They want to phase out gas and coal since those are imported. I do not have a...

    A/C gone bad

    1946 Ranch House I moved here in 1990 into a 1946 Ranch with 1960 bedroom and family room additions. One window unit in the family room really did not cool the whole house. I designed and installed a new system with the gas furnace outside the slab on grade family room and ducts into the...

    Hotpoint dishwasher

    Similar This house had a similar one when I bought in 1990. It had about 4 rinses but was still ineffective leaving particles on top of cups in the top rack. I had to remove when it started leaking out of the front of the door.

    Number PULEAZE! Part Five:

    Don't like talking on Cell Phone We still have the Land Line here, stopped the long distance. I use a calling card for Long Distance which requires dialing an access number and a pin number. But then you get the excellent fidelity and comfort of a handset. It does seem stupid that the POTS...

    new fridge advice

    I like the GE I still have my 1996 Whirlpool S/S, but I have been looking. The new Whirlpools in the lower price range do not have adjustable shelves. The GE does. That is enough difference to make me want the GE. I kind of wanted the 29 cu. ft. Whirlpool but that has the in the door ice...

    Shopping for new washer

    My recommendation You will be very happy with the Speed Queen TC5 and matching dryer. These units will last for 25 years. I got my Speed Queen set in 2017, replacing a Maytag set. I enjoy having a matching set because it is in my kitchen and I see it all the time. The TC5 does have a...

    What is the best washer you have had?

    1980 Maytag Out of all of the washers that I have owned I chose the 1980 Maytag. Very smooth washing action. I did buy it new and had to give it up when I sold the house two years later, the new owners wanted it. I have had many Whirlpool/Kenmore belt drives, and a 2000 Maytag orbital. The...

    High efficiency Californiaquistan shower heads

    Standards can't go lower The shower head I posted is 2.5 gallons/minute. Probably not available to ship to California. I bought mine a few years ago. The newest Calif. standard is 1.8 gal/min. Maybe 2.5 is a good compromise. The federal standard is 2.5 so that's what a lot of people have...

    High efficiency Californiaquistan shower heads

    I have one of these I have the Delta low flow shower head and it works very well. The flow is limited compared to an old style full flow. I do think it is a lot better than some other shower heads I have seen in hotels for instance. We do still have our older toilets and do not always flush...
