Wow - good thing those folks have never heard of an induction cooktop and how it works. They'd totally freak out....

Always wanted a nice pushbutton Maytag set - they reminded me of the "pushbutton future" promises of the space age. Hope it is in great shape and you're able to get it!

Yes, mine with Autowash and Sanitize starts out at 3:00 but seems to get done in 30-45 less than that, so far. Clearly my dishes must have less gunk than the ones the engineers test with!

What about this one? All-Clad's top-of-the-line cooker features a nonstick cast-aluminum insert that you can use on the stovetop to brown ingredients before transferring it to the base for slow cooking. Push-button controls and easy-to-read digital display eliminate guesswork. 7-qt. nonstick...

Update - the new Bosch is installed! This is the ADA version which was the only one with a built-in softener available from Sears (where we had replacement credit) so the tub is about 2-3" shorter than the old KA. Everything except our big pasta-cooker insert for the stock pot seems to fit...

Apparently that's what they used to clean up the conflagration that resulted from the jet fuel leak after the fiery crash under caution. (Link is on USA Today)...

Is that particular Whirlpool a true horizontal axis machine or a tilted drum one? If not, as an alternate question -- are there any true horizontal axis machines (other than the small euro ones from Asko and Miele) available...preferably ones with an internal heater? I know the Speed Queen...

Interesting thing is, this is the ~second~ control board to die. The original one made it until last July until it was just electrically dead, but it showed no obvious signs of burning, etc. This one only made it 6 1/2 months before doing this! Since this one came out of a more recent...

Our Kitchenaid Well....had a little problem with the ca. 2004 KA TT dishwasher again. Several actually. After having basically the whole thing (fill valve, pump, control board, dispenser) replaced last summer and then more repairs (some duplicate) again in the fall, I came out yesterday...

What's that work out to for cost-per-load? Wonder if these folks will branch into laundry detergent sales or if those really are more of a "hard ban" that doesn't have a commercial loophole like the one they're driving this through?

I was actually thinking about taking some on vacation for the portability aspect itself.

OK, setting aside for a moment discussions about dose control, liquids vs. powders, etc. could there be some actual, legitimate benefits to this kind of separated-compartment packaging? I.e. are there ingredients they are using that are both highly effective at cleaning but at the same time...

Little Giants for the win, apparently. How cool is that? I've always wondered how stars keep their stage clothes clean - did they have 20x of everything, some poor fellow staying behind waiting impatiently at the dry cleaners, etc. This makes perfect sense.

Just a style question - can the machine be operated or installed w/o the external cosmetic door panel? Or would that leave two gaping holes for the hinges? I'd prefer to see the porthole vs. having it covered up.

I know the machines are a bit smaller than most other FLs on the market. Do you feel the size is an issue? Is there anything you can't wash because of it?

Just the look of it made me smile! Thanks for sharing that!!

I thought I read somewhere that the sluice program was only available on gravity drain washers from Miele, not the pump ones, which I suppose would make sense if you don't want to send all that [ stuff ] through the pump. Somebody should double-check that however.

Interesting - seems quieter albeit a bit "whiney" at high speeds, but at low speeds actually seems louder. And both sounds are unlike my plain early 90s KA. Wonder how the reliability will be if they've significantly changed the motor design? I've replaced every single other appliance I've...

I have granite right now (for 10y) and if I had it to do over again in this day & age I'd pick one of the quartz products. They appear to be equally as durable as granite and are easier to match for replacement if you decide to do something down the road like replace an under-mount sink with an...

It would be very interesting to see the math on the investment in a retrofit vs. return. Perhaps up north where heating days are numerous (and oil furnaces are common) it makes more sense than down here in the south where we're just burning up the AC the majority of the year. I would suspect...
