Love the Octoplus-sized stack!! Wonder if they are ever going to bring these to the US? The PW6080 hasn't made it here near as I can tell...not that I can afford one.

That's the ~exact~ dishwasher we have! Not a bad unit performance-wise, however we're on pump #2 and chopper assembly (?) #2 in 5 1/2 years of at-least daily use. It did also develop a very small leak on the left side that was a hose that finally went bad. Considering how many 1000s of loads...

2tbs here I was most our clothes here with 2tbs Persil Megaperls (Universal or Color) + 1tbs STPP in our Bosch Nexxt 500 and everything comes out clean, fresh-smelling and stain free, in spite of the filth my 7 and 5-year-olds manage to inflict on their clothes. I do pre-treat ketchup and...

I have a Bosch Nexxt 500 set (circa 2005) that's been pretty reliable since we got it. The only two issues were a moldy boot shortly after we bought it (probably my fault!) and shortly after that the replacement boot retention spring broke and the boot got "eaten" by the drum. Since then, 100%...

I have two... ...one for work and one at home. I ended up with two since I had a Bed Bath and Beyond gift certificate + discount, so #2 was like $20... couldn't turn it down! I tried the whole variety box of K-cups and ended up settling on Tuly's Kona and Green Mountain Dark Magic as my...

Neptune - the washer that killed Maytag. At least 3 (or more - lost count) rubber boots eaten up due to mold issues, wax motor failure, then bearing failure on the washer and electrical death of the matching dryer ON THE SAME DAY. And that day happened to be day 2 of when we started potty...

Ours did this about a month ago. THANK GOODNESS it was just a faulty thermostat inside the house that was not turning the compressor on (just the fan.) Once a new one was popped in, everything was fine.

71 downstairs, 73 up. That 2-degree gap seems to make both units run at about the same rate since the heat naturally rises instead of making one work harder than the other.

I think this issue came out a little later than usual, but mine arrived in all its glory yesterday!!

I used to use blue Dawn for my pre-treater and it worked pretty well but oil-on-cotton (and concentrated tomato) stains would have to sit, treated, basically overnight to dissolve enough to be washed out without using excessive detergent. I switched over to using Persil Color Gel as my...

I think the phrase to look out for is "exclusive of decoration" on what are otherwise supposedly 100% cotton towels, since all bets are off what "decoration" actually means or what they're sewing with.

SRSwirl, How's your water there? My second biggest issue (after basic cleaning) is hard water buildup on everything, which is especially visible on glasses and cutlery. I was having to add Lemishine to every load when I was using Cascade All-in-One Gelpacs but when I switched over to Finish...

One criteria... ...is, can they take a hot water wash without "pooching" in? For example, some towels I have have decorative trim that must have been made of some non-cotton material that really seized up when washed on hot, leaving the towels very irregularly shaped. Others I have could...

"-no window-cannot check suds,dirtiness of water,or watch -boot retains water and gunk " And right there, you've hit on two of the biggest design flaws of the Neptune. Because it came out at the beginning of the FL wave here in the US and had no window, folks (myself included) tended to use...

Way to go P&G!! They also sent the Tide Loads of Hope semis to Nashville last week to help out the folks here!

Sherwin-Williams lists a couple of oil-based exterior paints on their web site, but there may be some local laws restricting their use in your area. Checked with Porter?

Here is another one This fellow's approach to Bach is just stunning: <object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value=""></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src=""...

Brilliant video from Dr. Bronner's!! Love the quote "Lousy drug test. Great soap test." Makes me wish I'd taken Organic Chemistry since that guy really knows his stuff. Interesting too to see how many things calling themselves "Organic Soap" are, in fact, neither!

Great news... ...and thanks for the detailed reviews too! Is your water there hard or soft? When you run low on your current selections, I'd be interested to see a similar wash-off with the new Finish phosphate-free tabs too. I've been very impressed with their Quantum Powerball tabs vs...
