sudsmaster Thanks for the suggestion! I will have to read that! I recently had blood work done and was diagnosed with high triglycerides. I started using Avocado oil for the first time, and I am actually impressed.

Flakes It might be worth running a tub clean cycle and seeing if that helps. Add 1 cup of citric acid and it will clean very well.

Fancy My Duet probably was considered fancy for its time. However the Kenmore isn’t considered fancy now. The Duet had very useful features that were big selling points at that time, and the Kenmore just had options and cycles I preferred. I think the features and innovations are what I would...

Cold water washes I generally do 1 load of dark colors a week in 75°F water. I have noticed that detergents do clean much better at this temperature than they did 10 years ago. However, after many washes I find that my clothes can have deodorant and oily stains on them that is removed in one...

littlegreeny Is your machine set to hot and cold fill, or cold fill only?

LED We had quite a few LED bulbs make it past 5 years, though we rarely use lights.

Cleaning DW I highly recommend using citric acid. It cleans like you wouldn't believe.

suds Agreed! Persil does create some suds under certain conditions that Tide HE Turbo doesn't. For now, the GE doesn't mind, however the Kenmore likely will hate it! It's too bad since it really is a good detergent.

Duke’s I have noticed that the stuff is everywhere now! I’m gonna give it a try here soon!

Wow That is a new one! I didn't think it was all that stable in a liquid form, therefore it was never produced. Although this does not have an activator, it might do well in true hot water.

Costco Platinum Clean I have been using them for the first time and I actually really like them! No odor issues here. Every now and then the top rack will squeak when pulling it out, thats about it.

*drool* Considering the cycle name and intent, I would imagine it is to keep the fibres wide open to allow for greater removal of dirt and grease in the rinse vs cold or warm. I can't think of any other reason. I'm sure if you washed whites with that combo that they would come out blinding...

bleach Yes. I have never used as much bleach as I do now. The Kenmore and LG sanitize cycles babied me for years. The GE just can not compare. A lot of loads end up having a little bleach added. I actually really like the Clorox bleach pacs as they are not very strong and seem to not cause any...

jeans odor Someone else just posted about this on ths.gardenweb . I had a pair of jeans that had a different kind of wash. They always smelled. I tried ammonia, vinegar, washing in warm and hot, dried them on high, extra rinses, EVERYTHING, and they still smelled. I would actually smell them...

odd It is kind of funny you mention this. Our Kenmore DD smelled worse than our Whirlpool Duet ever did. We always used warm washes and either Tide powder or Tide Coldwater liquid (still washed in warm). Lid was always left open, and was in a first floor laundry where it was dry. We were not...

PowerWash Can’t you disable PowerWash in the settings?

Suds No issues here. It never was an issue in our Duet, either. I do use less Persil than I would Tide. As others have stated, it is more concentrated. Now the Pods? They were horrible. You might want to make sure your towels are thoroughly rinsed.

Pacs We have hard water here, but we have used Cascade Platinum pacs in the KA PowerClean without any issues even when I add 1T of STPP. The 6 minutes is enough to dissolve and clean well when using the Normal cycle. Though, I have experienced major suds issues with them in other machines.

Rental property? Sounds like you need a PowerClean! No filter to maintain, bulletproof, and somewhat fool proof performance.

Andrew Glad to see you posting again! Even more glad you wrote this review! Is the silverware basket able to be separated? It seems rather large!
