    Best dishwasher detergent/ additives for hard water?

    Our water here is rock-hard and we previously had to use Lemishine in every load of the KA to keep things from turning gray, and even then I don't think it was doing a very good job. When the KA to catch on fire and was replaced with a Bosch I made sure I got one with a built-in softener, and...

    Now I've Seen Everything!

    I just watched "Death and the Civil War" on PBS... it was informative, beautiful, haunting and surprisingly tranquil. Told through modern voices, period letters read aloud and incredible photographs, I recommend it to anyone who wants to know more about the human toll of the Civil War and the...

    Now I've Seen Everything!

    A friend of mine worked as a Mechanical Engineer for a big casket manufacturer in the area, and I'll always remember two things he told me. 1) The throughput from the plant for metal caskets was one every 30 seconds or so, from rolls of steel to assembled, painted, trimmed and boxed, ready for...

    New Frigidaire Top Loading Washers

    Would love to see some pictures, especially of the GE. Speaking of which, are their HE-TL washers another F&P licensed design (direct drive) or something else?

    NEW Fisher & Paykel Washers

    Interesting - the video is now flagged "Private". Wonder if that was not supposed to be public knowledge yet??

    NEW Fisher & Paykel Washers

    Wonder when they'll launch in the US? I really hope they keep their TL dryer in the mix - I'll be in the market for a new set around Christmas and that dryer was a major reason they were on my short list.

    Tide Pods

    Tried 2 1/2 big containers of them. They are really convenient and seem to do a very good job at getting out stains without as much pretreating in a variety of wash temps. I've never found anything better before or since at removing greasy stains from placemats, for instance. Unfortunately...

    Circuit Breakers or Fuse panel?

    400A residential? With plug-in hybrid and electric cars now being available, do you think we'll start seeing 400A residential service as a "standard" any time soon? If you're building from scratch is there any dramatic increase in cost to go from 200A to 400A, or is it just a matter of a...

    Stained Melmac Dinnerware / What the F&%# Clorox?!

    How long has it been since these were last bleached? Maybe the surface finish or plate material has aged to the point that the chemistry is ~just~ different enough to react badly with bleach (Clorox or not) this time where it wouldn't have in the past?

    Consumer Reports: Tide Ultra HE Plus Bleach (powder) Rules!

    Ultra Tide Plus Bleach HE is almost as rare as a unicorn down here. I saw it in Target exactly one time (I think) and never since, and both the local Kroger and Publix don't / won't stock it. Our Wal-Mart usually carries it at prices from $12-15-ish for the mid-size (~60 load?) box, which I...

    Recent opinions on F&P Aquasmart / Aerosmart

    Thanks for the updates guys...I really appreciate the continued feedback. Iheartmaytag, my wife had a late-90s Kenmore TL (non-HE) before we got married that was of the "Shredmore" variety - great cleaning but really REALLY rough on clothes. As long as the F&P is within the same roughness...
