    New Speed Queen front loader video!

    I've never seen a vid of a Speed queen FL so I really appreciate you sharing it with us. I think towels are a special case for most washers because they tend to hold a lot of water along with suds, but your machine did a good job with them.   It would be great  to see a vid of a load of...

    Life with the GE Profile DW, 2016

    Cascade with Dawn is nothing but a marketing thing.  People associate Dawn with liquid Dawn dish detergent that is good on grease.  P&G knows this so they make Cascade with Dawn that must be good on Grease because it is Dawn...except it is not.  I wonder if the container says with the power of...

    (Lenor) Unstoppables made it to Germany!

    Unstoppables? Does this mean you can't stop the scent from oozing out of everything washed with this?   I guess I just don't understand why people want to walk around offending everyone they come in contact with.  The last thing I want is to meet someone who is wearing scented clothes.  This...

    We're using way too much laundry detergent, and here's why

    I bought my FL in 2002 and started using it in February 2003.  At that time there were no low sudsing detergents made for FL in the USA, so I started using German Persil.  I got use to the instruction panel provided on the box.  The panel gives you different dosing levels for soft normal and...

    as any us and canadien members notice on there store local shelves the persil laundry detergent

    The detergent is now priced the same as it always has been in Germany and other EU countries. They never paid anything like what we did through 3rd parties.

    What do people think of the new Persil available in USA?

    There are several existing threads on this forum regarding this detergent,so I would do a search here and they should be found. I have been using this detergent and have had good success with it in my front loader. I also have been using the German formula since 2003 and they both work equally...

    We've acquired an Elgin grandmother clock.

    Big Congratulations! I think Grandfather clocks are beautiful pieces of work as well as functional. As a boy I always wanted one and over some years I ended up buying two.  Agree with Whirlcool that people need to have a clock repair person move the clock.  When I moved mine I had the "clock...

    Continued Adventures with the Whirlpool TotalCoverage DW

    Why? can't the accumulator screen be something a user can clean once a month or so instead of the machine drawing extra water several times during a cycle to clean it, something  that has nothing to do with actually spraying the dishes?  If this screen is not cleaned does it impact the rest of...

    Continued Adventures with the Whirlpool TotalCoverage DW

    Tea stains remaining in mugs Isn't this more a function of detergent effectiveness than a brand of DW? Or is it the water temperature being used?

    New SQ FL AWNE9

    I have a 6K Miele washer and sometimes it does the spin as you described.  Other times it will do a burst spin(quick ramp up then slow to stop, then flip the clothes back and forth, before slow ramp up to spin, and other times it will do two sets of quick ramp up and flip back and forth, before...

    Life with the GE Profile DW, 2016

    Nice KitchenAid test vid.  I would like to see more of this. I found it interesting since all of the KA my family had  and even the ones I had started to pump the water as soon as the first drops hit the sump even though all of the water had not entered.  So I guess the newer models waited until...

    What is everyone's favorite laundry detergent?

    I have been using German Persil in my Miele washer since 2003.  I bought a box Persil Universal last year and noticed that the German dosage instructions had almost doubled the recommended amount to use.   I used the same amount  I always did but the results were not good.  Everything was clean...

    White Bread

    Not into it Not into eating bread, so when I do eat it, it is going to be pumpernickel or something made out of whole grain.  I probably eat bread once every two weeks at a resturant.  It just seems like some type of filler thing and not really satisfying to me.

    Nice SQ TL Overview Video

    So the blurb P&G used to spout about their Tide He formulas being formulated to hold dirt in suspension in low amounts of water better than their regular detergents is not true then?   18 years ago you could use the same detergent in a top and front loader - my grandmother did it - heck even I...

    Water Temp Issue

    I don't like this core exchange thing.  I bought this board when I bought the machine.  NO exchange.   I am keeping my bad board unless they are giving me money for the bad board, or giving me a discount for the new one.

    Nice SQ TL Overview Video

    So these are marked He and the guys said to use half the amount of detergent.  I thought these machines filled with a bit more water than a front loader.  If you use half the amount listed on the He detergent directions this is enough detergent to get the clothes clean?

    Dryers and Towels

    A tad damp <a style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode'; font-size: medium; font-weight: normal; line-height: 20px;" name="start_63944.866110"></a> "Now, with the plain EP setting, towels are just a tad damp and need to be removed immediately after the cycle ends due to the lack of a cool...

    GE Sells to Haier

    There is not much point hoping that appliances will continue to be made in the USA or any specific country. The product will eventually be made in whatever country is most economical for the company to make them and they may or may not continue to be called GE.  Most likely they will be called...

    Life with the GE Profile DW, 2016

    I don't know exactly how the sensor on my machine works but since I have a countdown display on the front of my machine I can tell when it modifies the cycle.  I think the sensor varies the water temperature between 105F and 150F depending on soil.   First the alternating spray arms.  My...

    GE PDT750 Takes John's (combo52) Peanut Butter Test

    The usual cycle I use is auto or sensor cycle--the one that uses the soil sensor.  When I tried this earlier the glasses were included with other heavily soiled items and it was a large load so I decided to try this again with a smaller moderately soiled load - nothing else burned or stuck on...
