Twin D0S maintenance: I would buy a cleaning cartridge and try that a few times to see if that will clean the lines. If your detergent lines are clogged water won't do it. Caps: I've used the down caps which worked very well. Haven't use the wool caps yet since I haven't had my wool out of...

My W1 860 has the Express program. The manual says it is for about 8 pounds of items without stains. The regular program is 30 minutes and light soil is 21. It still does 2 rinses and the last rinse is a high-level fill, but you cannot add an extra rinse and the water temps are 85F or...

Henene, This is a nice looking dryer; a heat pump model is that correct?

With those cycle options selected how long does the wash and dry take? If you get a chance it would be great to see the actual inside and bottom spray arm.

lakewebsterkid What model Bosch do you have and when was it purchased?

USA Miele DW I have a Miele 6987 and for the Normal cycle, the majority of the time the prewash water is used for the main wash also. According to the app on my phone, it takes about 1 gallon and uses that for the Prewash and the main wash. The first rinse uses .7 gals, and the last uses .8...

I think Europe requires a higher fat content in their butter than what is required in the USA. As for drinking milk- I stay as far away from that as possible. I don't mind butter but I really can't stand the sight of milk. What does UHT mean? I see this term in the posts above.

I use KerryGold unsalted. This butter is from grassfeed cows and I find that there is a big difference in taste from cows fed with corn or whatever they are being fed. It actually has a great taste without the salt. I used to use Presidents unsalted but it is hard to find probably because It...

More water option on GE This option allows more water to be used in the wash and rinse. I read the owners manuals and I only see the option on the 2 lower models. The TOL model appears not to have it.

Logixx Thanks for the video explaining the Recirc tecnique Miele is using in Europe.

I think Kirk Rivas used some of these type of these washers on his youtube channel. I think the motor stops in the middle of the spin and the tub just coasts for a bit, then the motor starts up again later; something weird like that.

I read most of this patent and it appears it is from Electrolux. The Miele doesn't use the recirulation during the fill period so it is not the way it wets the clothes initially as all of the water runs into the bottom and is mixed with detergent during the first few minutes of the wash. It...

Why reverse a motor instead of using a drain valve? Growing my parents KA had the drain valve and everything seemed a lot smoother and quicker than the stop/start method.

My MIele Model Uses a pump that looks like a second drain pump to me. It sits right before the drain pump and there is one line that runs from the bottom of the tub across the back of both pumps. The recirulation pipe runs up around the door to the center top of it. The amount of...

More water in a wash is not good, but I think slightly more water in a rinse is good, since you need the water to dilute the detergent.

Washer I like the looks of that washer. Too bad you have to buy both. I would rather just have that washer as long as it does not have a tilted drum.

You are right about Youtube mark. I look at the videos and think "no I don't want that that, well maybe that one is not too bad, but it doesn't spin after each rinse." Or "where was the water in that rinse?" In a way, Youtube helps us see what's out there.

Tom Does the Downy calming lavender have a strong vanilla scent. It seems like every thing Downy makes has some type of artificial smelling vanilla scent to it and that is something that makes me gag. I love vanilla but only when it has the sharp intense scent that real vanilla has. I might...

I don't feel strongly about this since I have a Miele, but I wonder if both of these models are in the same category? Is one of them an entry/mid-level and the other TOL? Could the bosch adjust the height of the baskets to accommodate taller items--no one knows.

My washer will sometimes spin like that in the middle of a normal spin, sometimes it does it two times in a row, other times one, and still other times it doesn't do it at all. I don't know what is going on with that.
