AEG-Telefunken The name of the German company that made both TV's, radios, stereos, etc., and home appliances was known as AEG-Telefunken(Allgemaine Electrische Gessellschaft). They used to be a subsidiary of Mercedes-Benz!

I have HATE for the Phosphate Ban! I always said, when the phosphate-free versions of many powder detergents came out in the early '70's, that the old-fashioned sodium carbonate used to replace the phosphate will wreak havoc on our clothes and appliances! It is SO CAUSTIC, if you put a bit...

For Ingemar... It's so funny, you and I are very much alike, as I have been into detergents since I was a kid, too! Every trip I've taken overseas or to Canada and Mexico, I have schlepped-home heavy loads of detergents and CD's! I got smart on my very last European trip to France, Holland...

Thoughtless Designs I am most certainly NOT a fan of most large items made in the "US of China"(as I call it). I simply cannot justify our paying "haier" prices for built-in obsolescence. For example, who thinks drop-down dryer doors are convenient? Let me tell you, I still have my 1989...

For Ingemar about Amway Detergent Ref.: Post# 551727, Reply# 36 10/25/2011 at 05:02 by gorenje (Slovenia) Hi Ingemar, I recently got a 33-load plastic "flip-lid" container of Amway's Legacy of Clean SA8+Bioquest powder detergent. One of my friends is a dealer. I would recommend...

Cold Water Washing Hi ZL! I've never heard of the new Persil Tablets, and I am usually "up" on British detergents. I would, however, never wash laundry in tap-cold water as you do, especially with powder or tabs, ans it is totally inefficient and impractical. The detergents are not...

To Dave-"Sudslock1" Hi Dave! I wish you LOADS of LAUNDRY with your new "Space-Mates"! It's funny, those were two of the only few front-load machines I never watched in operation. I sure hope you will consider making a video if at all possible, of those beauties at work! Jason

DirectDriveDave's question about dryer doors Hi Dave! Hi Dave! I see you're a fellow Long Islander, and I was about to give-up hope of finding another "neighbor" to relate to. While I don't have a valid answer to your question about the small dryer doors, I can tell you Norge had the...

To Peter-Wish I were there... Hi Guys! Last weekend I "met" Peter(peteski50)on the phone, we had a very nice chat. I only wish I were able to attend your meeting/lunch, it is apparent all of you had such fun! Especially, if a get-together is in Westchester or Northern NJ, I can get there...

Washer Photos, etc. I have both many, many OLD and newer US washer brochures in my collection. I also have MANY older, late-80's and before, European and Australian sales brochures and advertisements in magazines! I have that Miele ad that vacfanatic BOUGHT! It is in several of my French...

OH I Forgot... I also DO have a freebie little "beanie Snuggle Bear" from the fabric softener-it came with the 2-bottle special way back! Since those were finished years ago, I no longer use any fabric softener of any kind on my wash. I don't like heavy smells and it causes fabrics to...

Not Mugs... I sure wish I got some cool "laundry-related" mugs and promotional stuff like many people get. Samples, yes, but I am just not lucky at all with those types of things. I DO have, however, OLD 1950's Westinghouse plastic Laundromat and Dryer salt and pepper shakers! I love those...

The Frigidaire "Bed-of-Nails" filter Hi! I still have the bed-of-nails lint filter, agitator cap, and the bleach dispenser(NEVER used) from the Frigidaire! I also have the owner's manuals from the washer and I THINK from matching dryer. The dryer was given to a friend back in 1989 when I...

Dirtybuck & Bosch2460 Bill, I got one of those trial bottles of Wisk HE at my local Shop Rite for .99 and tried it. Joel, I agree Wisk stinks to high heavens! I cannot use it on any of my brother's laundry as he breaks out in rash also! I will finish it up and not buy it again. I sorely...

Angus, Mixfinder and Powerfin64 If anyone has ever read the ingredients of Tide HE powder, it has contained sodium perborate or percarbonate bleach since it came out! Although the bleach is probably in a small quantity, there's no wonder that they are not making/stocking Tide HE with Bleach...

My Favorite Markets I LOVE Wegmans and Shop-Rite. There's nothing as good as Wegmans downstate NY, but my Shop-Rite is great. Unfortunately, the(expletives wild)Unions prevent non-union stores like Wegmans to bring us the best in supermarkets on Long Island! Jason

Frigidaire 1-18 Lint Filter Post# 549605, Reply# 28 10/15/2011 at 18:26 by yogitunes (New Jersey) Hi Yogitunes, I had the 1977 1-18 Frigidaire WCD in Harvest Gold. I used to use a toothbrush to clean the lint filter-simple! Sometimes, I actually pulled an old nylon stocking over the...

The performance of this dryer I always wonder WHY Whirlpool Corporation still makes these style dryers to this day. How can they be effective, pulling heat from the back TO the back filter & vent? It never ceases to amaze me, such an antiquated design. I never liked the performance of these...

Westinghouse Portable DW & Sunbeam Mixmaster Jr. Post# 551062, Reply# 9 10/21/2011 at 15:44 by Ultramatic (New York City) We had the exact Westinghouse dishwasher when we moved to North Babylon from Long Beach, where we had no dishwasher. It did a great job, too. We still have Mom's...

A Fantasy Realized I am so fortunate to have found Automatic Washer. I was searching on the computer back in 2004(?) and found a link to the website. You cannot imagine the excited state I was in upon looking at all the work everyone has contributed. I, too, felt like I was shot into...
