Had a 2002 9-3 and a 2004 9-5 wagon. Really liked driving both cars, but the service issues did become tiresome. We have two Volvos now, a 2008 S60 and a 2011 XC70, and my perception is that they are built much better than the Saabs were. We bought them each as new cars and have yet to have a...

movie or TV show with GE Filter Flo's in them M'Lynn Eatenton (Sally Field) in Steel Magnolias has a Filter Flo set.

Have not had any issues with cloudiness or residue. Usually I use Ecover tablets. Water hardness here is only 1/2 - 1 grain which precludes the need for the salt softening system. That said, I was under the impression that the salt doesn't actually enter the washing chamber of the machine...

Bought that exact set in 2000 or 2001. Both washer and dryer were good machines. The dryer does reverse tumble but still a very full load from the washer is a little more than the dryer can handle without wrinkling everything horribly. The dryer doesn't get baking hot like an American dryer...

We have a KitchenAid Ensemble washer and dryer, which are Duet clones. The delivery people didn't leave the original shipping bolts when they installed the washer so I cannot attest to whether they are resusable or not. However, when we moved last year I ordered replacement shipping bolts and...

Here's what I know. Last I heard, Costco's Kirkland detergents were made by Huish, which is now known as Sun. I believe this is the same company who bought the North American Unilever brands and now makes Wisk and our version of Surf. As far as it being Tide in disguise, it's not. Funny you...

O'Keefe & Merritt?

I'd happily pay that for the set if I had the space for it. Unfortunately I live in downtown Portland and space is at a premium. In the late '90s I had a WW front loader similar to the model shown and loved it, but something went wrong (maybe the timer?) and at the time I didn't know any...

Gordon wrote: There was one difference in the control panel I think the last LK model like this that I saw on the showroom floor in 1986 had a different control panel cap than the machine pictured above. While the top cap on Drew's machine pictured above has a textured-look print to it (kind...

Temptation got the best of me Ugh, thanks PassatDoc! I need more detergent like I need another, well... let's just say I don't need more detergent. But I just ordered the 3-pack of Gain anyway. :) At that price I couldn't refuse! Haven't ever used any variety of Gain before, liquid or...

My guess on the first one is a Canadian model BD Kenmore.

I went to cake decorating school and actually did okay, but constructing an agitator cake would be a challenge. My first thought is to rule out fondant. That just seems a recipe for disaster, pun intended. So which agitator design would translate most successfully into a baked good? Figuring...

I think everyone deserves a second chance. Well said, Robert. Welcome back, Bob!

I've been upgraded to Zipdang 2.0 Talk about the best deal on the Internet! Robert, I know you hear it all the time, but you do amazing work. Cheers! David

Calling Ralph! Back-up parts machine?

That's totally cool. I don't think I could own one and not wear it all the time, though.

disappearing phosphates First off, no I don't pre-rinse. I'm far more interested in making the mess than cleaning it up. Now, on to the subject of phosphates. I've actually had very good experiences with the phosphate-free detergents I've used, namely Trader Joe's, Whole Foods 365, Seventh...

I liked the almond milk & aloe sensitive skin version (not that anyone in our house has sensitive skin...), but I think it might have been discontinued. Worked just fine as a softener, and the scent was a dead-ringer for UK Comfort Pure. The last time I bought it I think it was $2.99 at Target...

In North America I know it's true for Miele dishwashers. When I bought mine it came with a standard one year warranty, but by having Miele install it (or an authorized Miele installer) it extends the warranty to two years.

Looks very similar to the old GE-made Eaton's Viking models (Canada).
