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

    I smeared four tall glasses and one small one with peanut butter on Saturday morning.  I let the glasses sit and then included them in a load I did Sunday afternoon.  The load was dishes from Friday night thru Sunday lunch and included dishes soiled with stuck on mash potatoes and steak, broiled...

    Just Me... Or?

    I am not sure on gas ranges, but I think the entire oven is of self cleaning material not just the sides and back. I have a dual fuel range(gas cook top which I now wish was induction, and an electric oven with convection fan if I want) and it has a self cleaning cycle. The entire oven-minus...

    Are you a Sudsophobe ? A Rinsoholic ?

    Several years ago I developed a detergent rash.  I switched washers and detergents and the rash problem resolved.  With the new washer I always did 3 rinses as a precaution, but two years ago I switched to only using 2 rinses.  My wash water spills into the laundry sink so I can see what type of...

    About Persil ProClean & Froth

    Back on October 23 I mentioned that I would try to take some pics of a white load using 2n1 liquid even though I normally use the Perls on whites.  Yesterday I washed a white load of underwear and a few socks and took pics of the wash, two rinses, and also of the water that was pumped out and a...

    Let's Talk About Heating Shall We?

    IIRC honeywell and other system makers still can utilize an outside sensor that is connected to the inside system and is used to help determine what flame size and so forth is required when heating a house.  Nowadays the outside temperature will be displayed on the indoor thermostat as well as...

    About Persil ProClean & Froth

    Top loader Do you mean a 1/2 cap full or 1/2 cap plus 1 cap full.   I noticed someone mentioned a normal load.... but I think dosing by load size will cause one to use too much.  I would rather use soil level, and then factor in load size, in my dosing.   For me, unless I see a lot of clothes...

    Which dishwasher is the best for cheese enchilada and guacamole removal?

    I have a Miele DW and regularly wash a burned on, stuck on potato Au Gratin casserole  along with cheese covered plates in it.  My model has a cheese cycle especially designed for it.  I think the newer ones have replaced this with the cycle to wash exhaust filters and stove grates but it will...

    Cold-Water Washer by Whirlpool

    Well with the amount of water this thing uses where is the savings?  My water costs more than my electric and this thing is using 26 Gals per cycle.....promoted in CA?   It is warmer in CA than where I live so perhaps CA cold water is higher than 38F in the winter, but I can't see how 45F...

    Let's Talk About Heating Shall We?

    Second what Gusherb says I am gonna agree with this, because when I was talking about replacing my system one of my neighbors walked over and mentioned to be sure the contractor understood about the duct sizing in the house.  My eyes glazed over.   It turns out that it has commercial size ducts...

    About Persil ProClean & Froth

    Wow such variations.   For me the Persil Pro Persils smell and act exactly like the German version of Persil for whites.  Some suds but not too much and the first rinse is milky but not a lot of suds.  Here are pics of a load I did this past monday.  It was 4 queen sheets, and 8 large pillow...

    Let's Talk About Heating Shall We?

    It might be critical depending on the size and characteristics of the rooms.  When I took my first apartment it was heated by hot water radiators in the rooms.  Every room had a 13 foot ceiling and the living and the one bedroom was 25 feet by 25 feet.  On top of this there were many tall...

    Let's Talk About Heating Shall We?

    It was 35F around here Monday morning, so I turned the heater on and let it run once just to test it and make sure it worked.  Looking at the forecast it seems like it will be in the 60's every day until November 21, so I think that in the second week of November I will start to run the heater...

    What Determines a Dryers Spin Rate?

    I wonder about weight.  I have never had a wet towel stuck to the dryer drum but have had wet lightweight undershirts initially stick to the drum  when there was only one or two items being dried.  In this case there was nothing to move them off of the drum so they spun around stuck to it until...

    About Persil ProClean & Froth

    I've been using the Pro clean liquids and Perls since it's been released.  I also have a bottle of the German liquid and the stuff smells the same and suds the same.   For me the German Persil liquids are sudsy compared to the powder and the same is true with the Persil Pro...more suds in the...

    Whirlpool Plans To Take Over The World!

    The problem I have with Whirlpool acquisitions is that they destroy the technologies of the companies they buy.  Look at many of the DW made in the USA that are Whirlpool owned companies, such as KitchenAid and Maytag.  Underneath the wash arms  frames of the machines you will find the same...

    CR: New SQ Front-Loader Leaps Up Ratings List

    Agree with suburbanmd about washers that won't temper hot water.  This seems to be the way He washers in the US control energy usage, buy mixing cold with hot water, so the booster may not work with that unless you can manually pour hot water into the machine or do one of those y connector...

    Let's Talk About Heating Shall We?

    When I was born, i lived in a single family home with steam heat that was delivered from the local steam plant via pipes into each home into the neighborhood.  Several years later my parents moved and that house had hot water baseboard heat that was zoned into the three...first floor, second...

    Persil Color Powder

    I have used the color variation of Persil powder and the Miele detergent for colors.  Both of these lack optical brighteners and oxygen bleach, but one thing they both have that the detergents for whites do not, is an ingredient that holds any color transferred into the water - in the water.  It...
