    What is your favorite washer of all time?

    ASKO Miele Maytag-either orbital or Pittman driven. I love the turquoise agitators but the simplicity of my orbital.

    Putting dish soap in a washing machine

    Waaaay back in the day when we nurses had to wear the white uniforms we would occasionally use cascade or some dishwasher detergent in the load to keep them white. But that was when the powders were all chlorine based.

    Putting dish soap in a washing machine

    I keep a spray bottle with diluted dawn dishwashing liquid in my laundry cupboard to spray in grease spots that get in my clothes. If that doesn't, lestoil usually will.

    Mattresses aargh

    Just give me an old fashioned hard side water bed and I'll be happy. We have a memory foam mattress I bought off eBay several years ago on our king bed. It came rolled up and vacuum sealed in plastic. It has held up fairly well. I need to put a pillow topper on it. Sleep number beds are fabulous!

    Manufacture year for this Hotpoint Gas range?

    Remove the igniters or just remove the gas valve under the bottom. Or disassemble everything you can. Spray paint a big red X across the top. If that doesn't get the message across they are too stupid to breathe.

    What’s the best detergent for a Vintage dishwasher?

    I buy premiere chlorinated powder in eBay or from Zoro. Works great in my 94 KitchenAid and my 97 Maytag.

    what would be your dream vintage dishwasher to own in 2025

    I have one of mine Kudi23 just like my mother's. She got hers in 1994. Mine was also built in 1994 but I acquired it just a few years ago and it was still brand new unused with the energy tag still hanging in it.

    1973 Poppy Frigidaire trash compactor

    My childhood friend Scottie's parents had one like this. We used to love it when a bottle would explode in it.

    Good Electric Cooking Burner

    I set mine on the gas cooktop. A while ago I special ordered a custom solid black plastic cutting board from a seller on eBay that completely covers my stove top. When I need the gas I just pick it up and set it on the table. Otherwise it gives me extra counter space. I took a heavy duty air...

    New Production Vintage Incandescent Light Bulbs

    I like warm white LED bulbs. I really don't notice any difference in the light quality and I can use brighter bulbs without the heat of incandescent bulbs.

    Good Electric Cooking Burner

    Duxtop 1800 watt portable induction cooktop. I've had one for about 10 years and it's used regularly. Got it on Amazon back then. Shop around for best price. I only use the gas when I'm heating multiple items like for a holiday meal. It doesn't heat up the kitchen and it is FAST! I liked it so...

    Cooking with gas burners

    I've heard people say gas dryers yellow clothes but in my 30 years of using one I have not experienced this. I can see if there are smokers in the house maybe, but not in mine nor my mother's houses.

    Cooking with gas burners

    Min and both grandmother's had electric while I was growing up but mom switched to gas in 1992 and now says she won't go back. During the ice storm of 1994 we didn't have power but we could cook, we had heat and we could take showers. It influenced my sister and her husband to have all gas in...

    Thermador brand question

    I remember when I was in highschool I worked in the library. I'd look at architectural digest and southern accents magazines for all the high end appliance ads. Thermadore had a new star burner gas cooktop. Those magazines are where I first heard of Miele, ASKO, and AEG.

    Finish Ultimate... Anybody tried these?

    We use finish ultimate alternately with the chlorine based powder in the kudi23 and it has worked fine for us with a water softener.

    Could I live without my Stand-Up Mixer?

    Good old American manufacturing at its finest. I'm about to open my KA Mixer up and change the grease. I got a new genuine WP gear for it just in case I find a lot of wear inside so I don't have to do the job twice. It's a Hobart so it's pretty old. I got it cheap off eBay a few years ago. It...
