    GE profile filter-flo

    I want to know! Lmaooo this obsession with oil. Well guess what, you’re NOT gonna know. You’ll have to find an old GE engineer from the project. From the mid 90s. Good luck with that. They’re all retired or probably dead. Drain pumps at 1/2 hp? What a colossal waste of energy, weight...

    dishomat dreams and ideas

    Enlightened PUHHLEEEZE Nobody out there that has a full functioning modern dishwasher is complaining about it. My mom did at first when their new GE took 3hrs to wash. But all the new machines are 1.5-2 times larger than old ones”fast” standard tub machines. And everyone’s dishes are clean...

    Frigidaire Dishwasher OrbitClean Spray Arm Issue

    Heh, forgive me for chuckling about this but your dad who insisted it must be the same design, is ok with a generic, non-oem part? Ok….. Who knows! The quality on the oem orbit arms is so spotty, this generic might outlast the old one!

    Comparing Available Powder Detergents

    Michaelz Did Elmhurst used to be on any municipal well water at that time? That would make the most sense since northern Illinois well ground water is typically 20-40! grains per gallon of hardness. And Lake Michigan water is around 8-12 grains. They could’ve made a lake water switch over...

    Comparing Available Powder Detergents

    NICE, your 2nd hard water rankings basically match my experience. When I stopped using pods, I got more consistent results when going back and forth between Cascade Complete and Seventh Generation. It's important to consider what John says, about varying results. In one aspect, I find it...

    Frigidaire Dishwasher OrbitClean Spray Arm Issue

    Oh my, I don't know why they keep making that silly OrbitClean arm. Electrolux is frustrating. I have their washer/dryer left over from previous homeowners, and they're actually amazing machines. A friend of mine swears by her Elux washer/dryer set. The microwave over the range I got a couple...

    Comparing Available Powder Detergents

    Seventh Generation has really improved over the last few years. It has worked exceptionally well in both my current Chicago tap water, and my past softened well water. Cascade Complete is my 2nd runner up and I’ll still get that when I can find it. Most stores around me now only have 1 spot...

    Countertop Dishwashers

    They’re all pretty much made by the same Chinese factory. So you could just get the one that has the features you need for the price. Danby is a leading brand. I’ve heard good reviews about the Farberware brand too.

    2024 Holiday dish load!

    Christmas dinner dish load 1. KUDS25. Not quite a Bobload, I wanted to keep some water circulation space. 19 guests. Normal wash, Cascade Complete powder. Squeaky clean in the end. Happy holidays to all! Onward to 2025.

    I really like the look of the new Whirlpool Front Loaders

    #64 Mark You could be very right. The soap residue could still be in some clothes, just not with the evidence of suds whipped up by recirculation. It's hard to say though without a comparative study. And I do enough of those at work LOL, so I'll continue to just select Extra Rinse.

    GE Dishwasher filter question

    As the past owner of a filter-cup GE machine, a KA filter-cup machine, and my parents had the GE filter-cup machine also. One common theme is that GE dishwashers are not very good at "self cleaning" their filter cups. But here are the differences: - My GE was in my house with a water softener...

    AI in laundry...

    Honestly this stuff in appliances, at least for the time being, is just extra fancy "fuzzy logic" algorithms. True AI needs many more inputs than what current companies are putting in their machines, as far as sensors go. If they're to get real AI to work, they need a way to "see" the dirty...

    I really like the look of the new Whirlpool Front Loaders

    Count me in as someone who really likes their Elux laundry pair. The washer has been running strong for 7 years now, since the w/d set came with the house. All three pumps work just fine. I won't say I "love" the Elux sets, that's a strong term. But they are excellent, and I do think they're...

    Dumb Question, But Does Anyone Know?

    Since Whirlpool doesn't make the majority of their parts themselves, that could be an indicator from the molding company, that the part is for Whirlpool Corporation. Like earlier stated. But since that would be for the molding company's own sorting, I'm surprised they put it so close to the WP...

    I really like the look of the new Whirlpool Front Loaders

    Whirlpool corporate has been particularly terrible in documentation the past several years. On all their appliances. There must’ve been a changing of the guard in the technical documents dept, with deep cost cutting. Many are even riddled with typos or errors from what I’ve seen.

    New Dishwasher: GE GPT225SGLWW Portable

    Individual parts and raw materials are also subject to import tariffs. I’ve had to fill out forms for them before. But the rates are likely different.

    New Dishwasher: GE GPT225SGLWW Portable

    For the past decade or so, traditional brands have farmed out their portable dishwashers and ADA compliant units, to China sourced models. The dead giveaway is the rear bump out with the external upper water feed. I don’t know who makes all these. Midea? Candy? Haier? Nevertheless they’ve...

    What's Your Floorcare Routine? Mop and bucket? Swiffer? Broom?

    The Robot Age! Slightly off-topic, but I've been following robot vacuum products for a few years now, and I myself just got a 2nd Roomba for the basement (1000sq. ft. finished). Both are J7 models with the obstacle detecting camera. Upstairs unit has the self-empty base. They are....AWESOME...
