SLP98V Update? Hi There: I am considering replacing our furnace and AC unit and looking at Lennox. Any updates on the performance of the SLP98V? I am considering that one or (since we live in San Diego and don't have harsh weather) the SL280V. Either would be way more efficient that our 18...

Miele in White... I just went through the issue of what colors are available from Miele. Although it appears that white is an option from the pictures on their website, in reality it is not the case. They have very few models available prefinished in white. I also really wanted the two...

Questions answered... @ henene4 Most of the cycles I have run I used Somat Powder. About 1 tbsp or 15 mL per cycle. I have used the Finish Quantum tablets on very heavily soiled loads. Both worked well although (not sure why) I am leaning towards the Somat powder. I do use the water...

We installed a new Bosch dishwasher (Model SHE7PT52UC) about a month ago replacing an ailing KitchenAid tall tub we had for about seven years. I have to say this is the best modern dishwasher I have ever had. Great cycle options, loading flexibility (love the third rack), capacity...

Just got a new Bosch Installed a new Bosch (model SHE7PT52UC) last weekend (replacing the five year old KitchenAid tall tub). So far, I am very happy with it. I love the third rack and the loading flexibility. I am amazed at how very, very quiet it is. But, the thing I love most, is how...

Phosphates = Unknown I wondered that also and looked for any indication about phosphates. The labels did not disclose anything about ingredients (that I could read) other than "contains enzymes". Bob

So we made our way from Sri Lanka and are now in Muscat, Oman. The very large supermarkets here always seem to refer to themselves as Hyper Markets. I stopped by one today and took a few pictures of the detergent aisle. Lots of Tide (Jasmine scent), Omo and Ariel. A few boxes of Persil...

Different store ... Detergent Aisle Was near a different, larger store today and ran in to check the detergent aisle. Lots of Surf Excel varieties, Tide and one type of Persil. One product was named "White Power" and several others touted "White Power" as one of their benefits. An amusing...

Hi Everyone: I'm on vacation in Sri Lanka. As always, I have to make a stop at local grocery stores and supermarkets to check out their offerings of laundry and other products. I saw many varieties of P&G products (Tide with Jasmine and Rose scent) and a fair number of Unilever products...

Love our LG I have a similar model that I have been very happy with. However, mine has a heater. It washes great but you need a heater if you want a truly hot wash. It also rinses well and is very quiet. Bob

Hi Everyone: The KitchenAid tall tub has continued with nagging issues of unclean silverware, film, etc. I am to the point of being done with it. So, I am strongly considering a Miele after reading the great feedback here. My only issue is I want one in white. I really want the G5675 SC...

Hi Everyone: We have a KitchenAid tall tub dishwasher (Model KUDK03ITWH3) that had had recent cleaning performance deterioration. We have been very happy with this unit up until now. Glasses and silverware are coming out filmy where they used to come out spotless with only occasional spots...

Hi Everyone: I am getting ready for a fundraiser for a non-profit I volunteer with. We want to be able to accept credit card donations at the event. I am looking at different point-of-sale card readers like Square or PayPal. Per transaction pricing is similar. Any opinions about either one...

So I was looking thorough some old KitchenAid (Hobart) Service Manuals. I saw that there was a specification for RPMs for the wash arm. How was this measured when in the field? Curious, Bob

I'm still using up a stash of old vintage Cascade (with chlorine) as well as Cascade Complete with phosphates in the KDS-22. I have also used the current formula of Finish which works well. I always fill both cups for a normally soiled load. I never pre-rinse anything. Bob

Hexol @twintubdexter Isn't Hexol made in SF or the Bay Area? Growing up there I remember how it was used copiously at our Catholic elementary school for cleaning bathrooms, etc. I also seem to remember some people using it for first aid or feminine hygiene related issues. I can't imagine...

Installed... Hi Everyone: I installed a 4 gal Stiebel-Eltron. It is the ideal size for this application. It is on a switch so we only turn it on when needed. The KDS-22 is in place. I ran a load last night and there were no issues with power when both the dishwasher and water heater were...

Interesting how the ingredients don't mention any chlorine based compound. I would imagine (since it is a pack/separated product) they have the enzyme component in the portion that dissolves sooner then the chlorine component would dissolve later. This would allow the enzymes to do their...

Hi Everyone: A few years ago, I purchased the DiFi dishwasher water filter product. It has worked well and did a great job softening the water going into the dishwasher. (I tested the water pre/post filtration and it definitely did what it was supposed to do.) I never had a problem getting...

Finish/Jet-Dry Color change... I went and looked in the rinse agent dispenser of our KitchenAid tall tub (rinse agent replenished about once a month...last fill about two weeks ago) and my spare KitchenAid KUDS22 (used infrequently). Rinse agent in the dispensers for both showed similar...
