good news! Frederico, please check your inbox. Joe

alright Frederico, I am gonna call them tomorrow. Having skimmed through all this: I will call them tomorrow and find out if the set is still available. Next point on the list will be whether it is a 220v/50 hz unit just as they used to have them around the Frankfurt area during the 80s and...

Germany Has To Be One Of The *Worst* = the US as well Launderess, perfectly true what you say. But getting stuff from the US is just as troublesome. A very friendly member of vacuumland was offering a nice Hoover to me for a perfect price. But mail services there probably blew that deal by...

or rather: help with talking to any of them I re-read the thread and found out, your spoken German won't do and that they haven't answered yet. Well ok, Frankfurt is less than 1 hour away from me and I had been living there for more than 7 years. It is typical for those ads (worldwide) that...

Bahnfracht or iloxx Frederico, here we have had this problem over and over again. There are two options: 1) Freight company in Frankfurt -> train to Italy -> Italian freight company to your home. That will be the cheapest, but it will take the longest and you have to arrange and plan...

oscillate feature Whoah, this is a fantastic machine, congratulations! (I love ironers anyway, but this one is really something). What is behind the little door on the front side of the right-hand "standpost"? Oscillate: I can only guess, but when it is what I think, then ABC did a marvellous...

Miele I really couldn't care less. Of course, they feature good quality (or have, until recently). Of course many like them. But I find them simply boring. Any decade you might look at: They just work. They just look simple. But that's about it. No mind-bending mechanisms (such as the...

here is the link look at "Essenszubereitung" ( = food preparation) http://braun.com/de/home.html

just buy French and you will be happy. Having tried out several brands (in Europe, that is) I might say you might want to stick to Robot-Coupe or their respective household brand Magimix. I do know for sure that there had been some severe to-and-fro going on in the USA, businesswise...

linen INVENTORY? Did I get this right? Amazing! I've never thought of this! Honestly: The only way I take care of this is as follows: Do they still do what they are supposed to do? (dry up, cover up et al) - keep Don't they do what they should do? - motorbike rags. Don't they do what they are...

Having seen them on trade fairs for years, I finally made the step and bought myself a Woll pan. Man, I wished I had done that years ago! Ok, admitted: I liked them because they are located in my home place. Still, I usually do not trust things on sale on trade fairs. For years I had been...

Petek! so true and as I had heard, the Cuisinart thing had just evolved from some "good-things-gone-awry" brothers' fight between the Robot-Coupe manager (originally from France) when his sales-twin in the US was starting to sell these veritable machines under the "Cuisinart" brand, remaking...

correction: piece = peace not a native speaker here, so fighting my way through. I hope you can excuse that. Joe

so pleased about this thread! hey all, This is more than I could have hoped to be true. I LOVE the Ronson Corporation. Thank God someone is willing to picture-proof all those things I had been assuming but had no proof at all about them: Bosch: Claiming to be the first to have invented the...

the only place you can buy it here is... ...in downtown department stores like Kaufhof-Galeria (major cities only, mostly close to the "pink Bermuda triangle" where people get lost overnight). Not a single person I know uses it for baking or cooking. It is 100% unknown to nowaday's housewives...

oh and that evaporator tray on top of the compressor Sure, that is where all the liquid will land in the end. Take it out, rinse under a tap (you can see how the black fungus stuff will fly off after a Javel's "bonjour Messieurs", click it back in and that was that. Residual water will be gone...

3 ways to use the chemical bomb Didn't even have to read it: Have seen it myself here (just coming from those pictures): We buy a lot of used fridges here, so these occurences are pretty common and nothing to worry about in the first place. Sure you want to have them out of your life. Just...

unbelievable! Seamus! What have you done?! I remember repairing those a hundredwise, thus I DO remember the price for refurbished units with a shortened guarantee. Goodness, what a bargain! Congrats ;-) NICE!

I love that specklestone pattern Not only the drum, but the porthole door itself! Porcelain all over! That rubber gasket wrapped around the moulded metal makes the appearance even stronger. A thing that has never been around here at all, so I am even happier to have snagged that old GE Filter...

just great Hey Kevin, thanks for the vid and the recipe, it just adds to my collection. I practically grew up with that stuff, only 6 mins from the French border. There are zillions of local alterations but the main thing is THE onion soup. Just great, I am addicted. Besides: "It helps old...
