The salt brand doesn't matter, as long as it's made specifically for a dishwasher. The brands I know of available in the US are Somat, Miele, Finish, and Soft Spring. I buy Somat salt and Somat dishwasher powder from productswithstyle.com. Miele from Amazon is easiest. Finish is sourced from...

Fortunately, growth hormones are outlawed in poultry in the US, as well. I may be incorrect, but I believe we have the likes of McDonalds, et al. to thank for the extraordinarily large breasts available through genetic modification. I don't blame the EU for outlawing the import of US meat and...

Make sure you keep the package. Costco will return it, without question. I had to return the regular powder, as it was too sudsy. Performance was fine, not great enough to try to work with it to keep sudsing down. I was just in the new Lexington Costco the other day. Beautiful store, it's huge...

As I was picking up something else at Rite Aid, I noticed that Church and Dwight are introducing Oxiclean detergent, here's the liquid. Saw a big bag of pods at Target yesterday. Didn't pick up either, just assumed they were rebranded Arm and Hammer stuff. Which I've never really been that keen on.

Tide Ultra stain release I found this at my local Ingles the other day. Looks like the roll out for the new line has begun. Couldn't resist a 5 load bottle to try. Lol. I also bought bleach alternative and coldwater clean. Haven't tried those yet. They also had Sport and Downy. Scents are...

Now that's a garbage disposer! If Paul and Mary Bland had had one of those, they wouldn't have needed hire Raoul to get rid of the bodies in "Eating Raoul". Lol! That's exactly what I'm looking for.

I really liked the builder grade Kitchenaid that this POS badger replaced and would like to find one that is similar. Thanks everyone for the suggestions and the background. I'm going to look for an older new NIB Viking or Kitchenaid before buying new. Sent you a reply to your message volsboy.

It looks like Viking has discontinued their disposers. That's too bad, I would have paid extra for quality. I hope someone else buys the Hobart patents from them.

Thanks everyone! You've convinced me that ISE is the way to go. This board such a great source of info! Its off to Lowes to see what they have to offer. Looks like the Excel and the Esteem are most what I'm looking for. I'll also look at the Evolution, it's 3/4 HP but from what everyone says...

I was thinking that Insinkerator was over rated after this pos Badger 10. It shook a glass off the top of the sink the other day. But, now after these reviews, I'll give the higher line models a look see. Are these units US made? Who makes the Sears disposal, I'm not a Sears shopper, but will...

Yes, I am as well. It's seems I remember several resident disposer experts.... To add to my above post, I would also like to know which disposers are still manufactured in the US.

Hello all, we are looking for a new disposer. The Badger 10 that was only installed 4 yrs ago is getting progressively louder, so I finally have my excuse to ditch this POS. I was looking at the Waste King L8000 and the Frigidaire Pro 1 HP, though they seem to be the same unit. Is this a good...

That's a great looking fridge. Wish I had room, it's the next town over from me

I know what you mean about the spin being finicky on the Affinity! The countdown on the display can stuck at "6" for 10 minutes. I learned with the Bosch Nexxt, which was even more anal, that if I set the spin speed to Medium it will spin. Then, if need be while still in the machine, I reset it...

That is unfortunate. I have the 2011 TOL version and use 4 of the 5 features they're discontinuing, frequently. As a clinical massage therapist, I use the Allergy option frequently in the Heavy cycle, to dissolve the oils. It's the only way to get hot enough water to this machine without using...

I would have that happen in the Bosch. It would look fine in the wash, then when it would try to spin, it would go into sudslock routine. Even with reduced amounts of soap. Towels absorb the water and soap then release as foam in the spin. It happened with all detergents, Persil is the best at...

Malcolm, That's just what I'm looking for in a faucet! Thank you for the link. Those counters are beautiful. I like the black, white and grey. Still in the what materials I want to use vs. budget phase. You'll love the induction, btw. We are going on two years with it. Much easier to regulate...

Stunning!! I love your choices. We are planning on putting in new counters and sink. Quite a transformation. Your faucet is just what I'm looking for. What company is it from? Is it a pull down spray? If so, I like how it is concealed. What material did you pick for the counters. They're beautiful!

I like zoom spout sewing machine oil. It's much purer than wd40, etc, and pretty inexpensive. I like new uses for stuff too. I'm going to try it in my shredder when it starts to dog from the pile that stacks up on top of it, so you have to spend a half hour shredding. Lol

Ryan, with your modifications, your machine sounds like the 2000 era frigidaire I had. Did a good job cleaning with plenty of water and 4 rinses. Productswithstyle.com or persil store both have single pkts of persil with free shipping, you don't need to spend their minimum that way. I buy my...
