Someone on YouTube has one... ... and this is one of the 3 clips he posted http://https//www.youtube.com/watch?v=d4EaCnuphus

My 2 cents Hi! I've been using the Italian version of Somat Gel Tabs for some loads by far but I'm not so disappointed: it cleans dishes, pots&pans, silver and glasses very well - and I run my dishwasher on the 3rd day of loading. I don't prerinse, just scrape off large residues and usually but...

Mostly Finish, now I used German Somat 1 for about a year, but I went back to Finish Quantum, Finish All-in-One, Finish Gel: they seem to have improved the formulas together with changing the style of the labels. Another very good product, which is available here in Italy, is Nuncas Dishwasher...

My parents' first dishwasher, which came with the kitchen furniture they bought just before getting married, was a 1974 Rex (Zanussi) Special S2-85 more or less like the one shown in the YouTube video I'm providing below my post, although ours was a higher-end machine without central feeding to...

A gimmick returns Frigidaire's Orbit Clean is just the same gimmick featured by the European Electrolux and Zanussi's dishwasher range and is named FlexiSpray: . I know that Electrolux own Frigidaire in the US, but according to me Orbit Clean/FlexiSpray is just a redisign of the washing...

Hi Folks! I bought this magazine ad on eBay together with some other stuff for my ad collection, thought it could be cool to share! Enjoy :) Ivan

Hello Mike, let me get this straight... this eBayer is not even sure if the Mobile Maid he/she wants to sell will actually work, but he/she want to earn the same amount of money you'd probably spend on a new and nearly TOL dishwasher. My grandpa used to say "You know, Lunatic Asylum is written...

Congrats! Congratulations for your successful bid on ebay, Rollermatic! Can't wait to see the pics of the "maiden" wash here in this forum :) Ivan

Cool design, but it stops there for me. @dj-gabriele: I would NEVER trade my Miele for one of these washing machines!

Wow! Hi Mark! Congrats on your wonderful finding! If you have the means, please save it: I'm sure it's much better than the new A++ machines at cleaning dishes and pans. This dishwasher wasn't made by Zanussi: the exterior may recall its machines of the time, but the interior, washing system...

Madness! I know this applies to the US for the time being... but I hope manufacturers in Europe won't start to follow their respectable American counterparts! We've recently had an Energy Label change here, but the timings of the programmes used for the EL evaluation have not changed so far. I...

DWs and softeners - the way we were Well Joe, I'll try to answer to best of my knowledge, thougts and considerations. Speaking of Italy, we must start by considering that every useful appliance or home equipment - such as dishwashers and water softening systems - has always been considered by...

hot water vs. water softener in DW Hi Joe, yes you can use a DW with a water softener even on the hot water supply: when the salt in the tank saturates the water in the tank after it refills salt stops dissolving regardless of water temperature if I remember well from my Chemistry classes when...

Miele 7kg Hi Hass, I own a Miele W6566 featuring a 7kg drum. The advantages, for me, are being able to wash all my underwear, beddings, towels, tea cloths and everything that can/needs to be washed with Cotton or Hygiene programmes at 60/75°C in one go. And of course, as you have already said...

@ronhic & the others Napisan is just another name for the sanitizing additive Dettol. In Italy Napisan now comes with the same illustration as Dettol in other countries, but with different colors as the image below :) Ivan

Congratulations for your finding, Richard :) and for owning such a beautiful kitchen - mine just looks like some schizo's nightmare, the Bree Van DeKamp in me is SO ashamed... @Chestermike: thanks for sharing the User's Manual :) Ivan

Hoover Auto-Jet's Italian Sister Hi Peter and everyone! Thx for posting these ads! I'd like to make my own contribution to this thread: you can find below the partial scan (the original page is bigger than my scanner) of the advert for one of the first automatic dishwashers ever made and sold...

Same issue here Hi mrx! I have the very same problem with my Bosch dishwasher as well. Althoug the Fairy Platinum caps for the Italian market look different from those who are marketed across the USA (Cascade) and seemingly in Northern Europe, I must say that I experienced this issue with all...

Thank you Rudin1969, in the end I decided to give the 2 dish detergent pacquettes to my mom: she'll use them for soaking very dirty or burnt-on casserole dishes and the like before putting them in her dishwasher. Thanks ;) Ivan

Hi guys! Some days ago, in a fancy department store in Milan, I bought a bottle of Signature Detergent (for laundry) made by The Laundress, NY. As a gift, I was given a small bag with some free samples of other products made by the very same company, and one of them is a dish detergent which -...
