I really, really, really like the way that KUDS-25 looks! I kind of want to find one!

I definitely never rinse anything, the dishwasher was made to wash all of this off!

I would like to see a detergent with enzymes and STPP rather than bleach. In laundry I mix the Bubble Bandit and a heavy enzyme detergent called Rockin Green Active Wear. The combination of the two really gets things clean. I have bright white whites and I never use bleach. I only use 1 scoop...

I’d say I have to have much harder water, though I have not yet had it tested (testing is more for my own curiosity, as the water here is hard enough to leave deposits on everything it touches) but completely intend on installing a softener. But the water deposits were definitely collecting in...

I don’t think phosphates will ever go away completely, those of us who know what good detergent is will always be able to round some up!

Only a couple times really. The plastic cups held on to the reside for maybe a month before it totally disappeared. Bubble Bandit has been great, but I’ve also just recently discovered Cascade fryer boil out and I can tell you that it really is the Cascade of an era prior, it doesn’t smell as...

I know I’m dredging up an old thread, but... I remember back when the phosphates went away, and Mom was left dissatisfied with the Cascade powder after, and eventually settled on Finish tabs. Ultimately, I’ve not been satisfied with how clean dishes come since, and the dishwasher just got...

Absolutely not. My pampered candy ass requires too many of the modern conveniences that didn’t become common until the middle of the last century.

Interestingly, I’ve just recently started using Bubble Bandit... we have hard water and have yet to install a softener, so it’s been challenging. The dishwasher was getting coated in deposits and scale, and the washer was also. Both were also just full of dinge, and it was frustrating and kind...

Well, if someone installed the damn thing it can most certainly be removed! I’m not familiar with this machine, but I can say I think you got a useless plumber, might be good to call around and see about finding someone more knowledgeable with plumbing.

Our sleeping bags have all always fit in our Whirlpool DD, I feel like in the past not all of them did fit into the old belt drive. The tub in the DD is the super capacity, it’s rather huge. If one didn’t fit these days I’d probably be able to get it into a good friend’s front load SQ.

Well, I never did driver’s ed, and my mom was an absolute terror to try and drive with my permit and her in the car, I did virtually no driving before I got my license because of this. I ended up just waiting til I was 18 and didn’t have to bother with all the practice driving logs and such, to...

No, you do have to run water. The stopper does have to be inserted to activate the disposer. The stopper can be open or closed, basically it can be allowed to let water through or stop it. To run the thing you hav to have the stopper open and push it down into the disposal til it snaps in, then...

The idea of putting a batch feed disposer in that side of the sink has always appealed to me, for a couple reasons. The first being it’s the easiest type to hook up there, just plug it in and it has its own switch. I also find it convenient to dump all the food scraps in that side when loading...

The main difference in performance comes from the ripper blade in the center on the newer one, it lets it chew up things like apple cores and larger rind pieces much more quickly, the older one doesn’t have this, I believe the more expensive super hush and imperial hush disposers had them. Other...

Well, I changed it a bit, put an NOS batch feed model in on the left side to simplify things a bit...

Well, the other day I decided to upgrade the plumbing under the kitchen sink from the crappy 1 1/4 inch stuff with those awful cheap compression fittings to 1 1/2 inch glued ABS. I also decided it was time to put in both of my vintage Waste Kings. I have an air switch on the Thermador, still...

Sadly it’s too far away, has a perforated tub, and no matching dryer!

I think almost all modern disposers could use smaller holes and undercutters. Not many disposals can do what the old Waste Kings can!
