Installed… first observations I got them installed today. Super happy so far. Here are some of my initial observations: 1. Capacity on both seems to be good. Stated capacity on the washer is 8 kg (17.6 lbs). I’ve weighed out a few of my normal size loads for the LG and none have come...

In preparation for our kitchen remodel (washer and dryer being moved to our detached garage), I got a new Miele pair. It’s arriving today so I’ll post pics once it’s in place. I didn’t want AutoDos so opted for the WXD160. Reading the manual, the heat pump dryer technology is very nice. It...

Hello Everyone: As some of you know, I do a great deal of humanitarian work in Haiti supporting several hospitals and clinics. The vast majority of my work is in the laboratories (that is what I do professionally) but I also get pulled into other projects / situations periodically. In the...

Thanks John. I’ll definitely look at KitchenAid and SubZero. Bob

We are progressing quickly on our kitchen remodel plans. We have decided on a built-in refrigerator. What are people’s thoughts on and experiences with the various brands? I’m ruling out SubZero because of feedback I’ve gotten about reliability. I’m leaning towards either Viking or...

I have a Bosch 800 series and I’ve only had to clean my spray arms one time when I noticed a bone fragment in one of the holes. Filter I clean once a month and I probably could extend that to every other month. Bob

I’m staying in an AirB&B with a pair of DishDrawers. I’ve been cooking a lot and have really enjoyed using them. I like the idea of running one while having the other one available for loading. We are going to be remodeling our kitchen and it is something I’d definitely consider. I...

We are considering a major kitchen remodel. Our washer and dryer are in the laundry room adjacent to the kitchen. (We currently have a an LG front loading pair with a gas dryer.) As part of the remodel, I’m thinking about getting a Miele pair. My concern is the heat pump dryer. With going...

Costco Packs For years we have used Finish pacs in our Bosch with a built-in water softener. (We never prerinse.) However, a few months ago we switched to the Costco packs because of a stock out on Finish and have been very happy. I don’t think I’ll go back to Finish and will stay with the...

We have had solar for 10 years now and have an all electric car as well as a plug-in hybrid. We have done what we can to conserve and make good choices for vehicles, appliances, solar, etc. However, this requirement is going to be a big burden for us as well as many of our neighbors. Our...

I have this exact same dishwasher in our garage. It’s the backup / second dishwasher for parties. I really love it. Congratulations! Bob

Point of Use Water Heater I have my KDS-21 in our garage as a second dishwasher for excess dishes from parties, cooking etc. We put in a small point-of-use water heater which works great. Stiebel Eltron SHC 4 Mini-Tank... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001OXX3RO?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share Good...

We have had corgi mixes with the double coat for years. They get regular brushing but sleep on the bed, etc. We have been through our old Maytag Neptune and our LG front loaders and pet hair has never really been a problem. Between washing and drying, it seems to resolve quite well. Bob

We have the InstantPot Sous Vide device. It looks like an immersion blender and clamps on the side of the uncovered InstantPot (you basically use the insert / base to hold the water / insulate.). We have been very happy with it. Practically silent and the set temperature is very accurate...

When I buy a loaf of sliced bread, I will put a few slices in a Ziploc for immediate use then put the rest in the freezer. My background is clinical lab science and I have taken a lot of microbiology. I never wanted to chance eating moldy bread so would throw the whole loaf away if I...

Powder Variety, Salt I see they don’t have any powder version detergent listed. Loved that Somat product in my Bosch. Also, no softener salt. Are machines with water softeners uncommon there? Bob

Alternating On all the cycles, ours alternates between the top and bottom arm. Bob

We had two Volts and last go-round changed to a Bolt. They have all been great cars. Bob

I came across this field study that people might find of interest regarding the sanitizing ability of domestic dishwashers. It seems like it was well controlled. However, I wonder how well the operators loaded the dishwashers? They mentioned "overloading" being more associated with failure...

Launderess... I’d love to see a show hosted by Launderess. Keeping laundry practices real, practical and correct. Bob
