Dirty Labs powder actually worked really well in my KUDS25. But I needed to use 2 scoops for good results. And at that rate the Dirty Labs was just TOO expensive compared to the 7th Generation I typically use and get pretty much equal results.

GE macerator Yes GE dishwashers had a “soft food disposer” which was a little spring wire that spun in front of a metal screen that had HUGE holes. The metal screen was then changed to plastic. And this is the style GE used up till the early 2000s when they came out with actual metal blades...

What’s missing here? Oh yeah, nuance. I’ve had various tower machines in apartments. If they’re loaded carefully they do wash very well. Even in the upper corners. But the second you put plates too close to the tower, or a loathe pot that is too tall and shadows the upper corner above it...

I’ll just note that depending on the model, when Hot is selected for front loaders, it’s not uncommon to get a cold or warm fill at first. And then its internal heater takes it the rest of the way. Often higher than 100F. Just fyi.

Color me surprised and shocked but yes I agree with Chet on this one. And Laundress. My own tap water will fluctuate from the mid 60s in the summer, to damn near 50F in winter. Sometimes colder when we get our January deep freezes. My own tap water pipe is only 5ft under ground. That’s where it...

Reply 53 Bahahahha!!! That would be his personal hell, because the arms alternate wash action. Reeeeeee!!!!!!!

Since I usually wear my jeans to work in an office job, I’ll wear them the whole week. If they get a little wet or dirty from a rainy day or if I’m doing dirty stuff in the lab, then they’ll go to the hamper, or I’ll save to the side for other dirty things that week.

100k Maybe Jerome will physically turn into a Filter Flo! lol.

There was a brief moment of time where cleaning in the upper rack of Point Voyagers was weak. This seemed to correlate with the time when detergent manufacturers were eliminating phosphates as reformulating their detergents. I think PV dishwashers might’ve been harder hit in this time frame...

You’re a liar Jerome. So you’re telling me your Kenmore Bosch is just smearing dirt and grease around your dishes? How can you eat off that? Why don’t you go out and get a vintage dishwasher like many of us here? You’re all talk and no action.

Uhhh I’m sure the Bosch engineers know what they’re doing with the spray patterns. Your feelings about water spray do not matter in sound design or sales decisions. Thank goodness for that.

Why don’t you start a podcast Jerome? My favorite engineering quote is from a programmer; “Programming today is a race between software engineers building bigger and better idiot-proof programs. And the universe trying to build bigger and better idiots. So far the universe is winning. And...

Hmmm. I’m going to do something John, that certain people here don’t do. “I stand corrected!” Very interesting to find that these appliance valves are indeed mini versions of pilot valves. Right from the RobertShaw catalog.

No. Nope. Nada. Nein. Nyet. Non. I’ve lived in a dozen apartments over the years. None of them had any 80s GEs. They were all early 90s at the latest. And yes many of my apartments were old. I stand corrected. I toured one apartment that has late 80s WP pre- power clean dishwasher. But that...

Water fill valves Regarding water fill valves there are no diaphragms in the RobertShaw/Invensys appliance valves. They use a rigid plunger that can be clogged with mineral buildup. Same for their inlet screens. Irrigation valves like I have in my yard, use pilot channel diaphragm valves...

Naw. I’ll second what John is saying. I know I might be considered just a kid here, but I was a little kid in the late 80s. I remember relatives and friends having 70s and 80s appliances repaired ALL THE TIME! And then the grandparents would say “they don’t make em like they used to!” And...

Jerome. Who are you trying to convince? What is the point of all the ranting and raving? Why do you not have a podcast or a YouTube channel if you’re the self-proclaimed laundry messiah? And why is it so unacceptable to you that because you had a bad experience with ONE machine, but many...
