Dishwasher This actually looks a lot like the newer Whirlpool rotating filter design. That would make for one hell of a deal.

Ariel pods My absolute favorite detergent. Yes, they have a strong scent, but it smells better than a majority if US detergents. Plus the Phosphodiesterase does wonders. I have considered ordering more but the cost is just crazy. 

French press with fresh ground Meijer organic Columbian blend. Not much better than that. Plus, much less plastic waste and toxic stagnant water from a Keurig. 

tempting I think I would have to find a new place to live at this point, as someone wouldn't be happy about the purchase. The Duet dryer is a little slow now, so I am not sure I could deal with the extended cycle times. 

cavitation Does this just happen during the main wash, or does it occur during prewash and rinses?

I disagree In our old house we had severely hard water. This product saved our laundry. I do currently use it on fleece blankets, sheets, and other loads of laundry which I use powder on. The difference is actually greater than you would think. Items are softer and fluffier. But take my...

To be honest... Depending on what is wrong or going on with the Neptune, it could be worth fixing IMHO. However, I also recommend an LG set, though they aren't perfect. The Speed Queen FF7 would also be a great choice. If you don't need a dryer, it is worth considering just buying the washer...

Loading That is some great loading in the Miele. Though, the racks are one thing that did steer me away. It does seem you can hold quite a bit.  As previously mentioned, the newer KA and Maytag machines with the 3rd rack hold lots of stuff.    I have always liked the deep menu settings that...

Interesting Very cool to see this in practice. I had imagined a dishwasher design that used vacuum insulation to reduce running costs. Of course, that may be a potential design in the near future. 

Overhyped The restrictions are annoying, but consider that they are for the Normal or EnergyStar Tested cycle with no/low soil. My new KA KDTM604 has the MicroClean design and uses 1 gallon per fill, but using Normal cycle with no options, and no/low soil sensed, that cycle will use 2.4...

SQ FL I really like these machines! However, the lack of a built in heater ruins it for me. I have been pampered with one and I am not willing to give it up! Sanitize with Oxi is just a 'hot' wash with the added power of Sodium Percarbonate. However, if there is no bleach activator, it may not...

Update Sorry to keep bumping this thread, however a few updates. The machine is still performing flawlessly. Pros:   -The 3rd rack noise has not occurred again. We love how we can place a minimum of 10 glasses up there to save space on the 2nd rack. Far more useful than the 3rd rack on the...

OP The Permanent Press cycle is actually a good one. If you do not dry clothes, from what I understand, there is a greater chance that the 'pills' are not fully removed after washing. If you even dry the clothes once, I would expect a noticable difference. However, a detergent with Cellulase...

Fridge The Samsung that came with our house has given us issues since the start. Thankfully, insurance is going to 'assist' us with buying a new one. We ended up buying a new KA because of our success with our old Whirlpool SxS from 2009. We never had an issue with it. For the reasons you...

Maytag Correct, to an extent. The Maytag does have a small removable filter, but will only catch large items. For instance, I have never had anything found in my filter. So a majority of items are pulled right through to the filter. The Maytag does have a '4-Blade Chopper', but won't really do...

suds Even with low sudsing detergent, with the residual wash water in the sump, the relatively high speed of the drum with rinse water should still produce some suds. Just shocked to see how there were hardly visible suds even with the rather anemic spray and spin combo.  The LG Towels cycle...

Fan Yes, the fan runs constantly for the 8 hours after the cycle is complete, except on Express Wash. It does not run at all, AFAIK. However, if heated dry is selected, the fan does click on with about 5 minutes or so left in the cycle, and proceeds to run for 8 hours. Selecting Sanitize...

Rinse The machine not draining enough after the interim spin is a big issue for me. Not to mention that the spray rinse sequence is pretty short here, but also it looks like the spray nozzle doesn't have the wide and fine spray pattern that it formerly had. Kinda disappointed. I really like...

PinkPower4 No, you read Combo52's post backward. Lol. He prefers that the heating element is separate. After owning the KA for around a month, I will not hesitate to recommend it. The Maytag versions should be great as well, though I know the 'chopper' has been a point of failure for those...

Doubtful I highly doubt that would happen. Whirlpool wouldn't have the ability to have true drying cycles as John said. Though, I'm sure if they raised the final rinse to 150ºF and used the fan to assist in drying, the machine would dry better than most Bosch machines, not including Crystal Dry...
