I use Mesh Like Joeekaitis, if I get plastic bags, I just knot them when the get to the trunk. I use extra-durable mesh "Giant Market" shopping bags I bought from the stores in Leesburg, VA & Bear, DE back in 1993. They are THE BEST, and very strong for groceries and for Costo, BJ's, Trader...

IF you MUST have a front-loader... Welcome to our club, Michael! I would recommend a Samsung front-loader(higher in height than usual and extremely fussy with spin-balancing-see my pic I have one,) or Whirlpool NEW-style Duets. They are direct-drive and fit under a counter, so they are...

Corian & Linoleum Phil, get whatever pleases you! I am not one to judge what "class" one's choice of counter top material may intimate. Hans, my apartment kitchen and dining-area floor is linoleum, the rest of the place is hardwood and tile in the bathroom. All I can say is that linoleum...

REVOLUTION! We should start a revolution to overthrow our antiquated government agencies and their over-controlling nature! I couldn't agree with you guys more!

Allen is absolutely correct! I would never use TSP in my washer or dishwasher, it is very caustic! It is similar to sodium carbonate in "base". Put some in your bare palm, add a few drops of water, and PRESTO-feel the heat! That guy Ludwig has some of his facts incorrect. Bring back the...

Never mind... Thanks for the "heads-up" David! of course the phosphates were removed, too. Now I won't waste my time trying to find a bottle somewhere in my travels.

PeterH770's 1955 Frigidaire Condenser Peter, the photo of you with the 1955 Frigidaire condenser dryer is the exact one we had in our old house! Dad bought it new back then, Mom & Grandma were SOOO happy! The clothes that went into it first were from the stupid Bendix Economat, until the 1957...

Has anyone ever noticed... If anyone has ever been out looking to purchase a brand-new house, what I have noticed for years is weird! My sister's house in an Atlanta suburb, for example, had been set to have every appliance/heat/water heat with gas, EXCEPT the dryer! it cost them 200.00 to...

Gas Dryers are the BEST! We've had four gas dryers in the house since we moved-in in 1962. None of them ever(even the 1954 Caloric)burned or yellowed the laundry. Electricity is so damn expensive here in suburban NYC, that you can dry 3 loads using gas, for the cost of just one electrically...

Fabric Softener Dispenser If anyone needs one of those Kenmore white, agitator-top fabric softener dispensers from my 1995, I have mine saved unused/"new".

Sorry, Dave... After actually looking at your dryer's control panel, it does not have the electronic sensor dry that both my sister & I have. Yours is the "Auto-Dry" with soft heat, ours are the Electronic Sensor dry with Soft Heat.

Post# 557139, Reply# 7 11/16/2011 at 23:29 by DaveAMKrayoG Dave, you have a GREAT PAIR of appliances! Those are the exact models from 1996 I bought for my sister and brother-in-law in GA when they bought their brand-new house. I had the 1995 washer version, and still have the Lady Kenmore...

Cleanteamof NY and MaytagA710 Larry, I see you moved from "the land of soft water to the land of hard water"! I have friends in Monroe. Kevin, I wouldn't call that spiral-ramp agitator a "dual-action". I cannot ever remember seeing these up in Canada all the times I have ever been there from...

Venting a "portable dryer" indoors My brother has a client who own a number of NYC properties. I was in one of the totally remodeled mid-level apartments. Much to my dismay, I saw a "combined" stack GE(Eletrolux-made)washer and dryer that was vented into one of those stupid "vent-pots"! The...

Post# 558790, Reply# 3 11/23/2011 at 14:23 by turquoisedud I sure do remember the Baycrest, how could I forget?! (: I do remember, that the earlier Baycrest washers & dryers in 1974(first trip to Montreal)were made by Westinghouse! GE's Hotpoint did make them until discontinued-I remember...

Post# 556885, Reply# 51 11/15/2011 at 19:55 by turquoisedu Paul, I love the new laundry set-up! I wish you lots of luck with it. That Frigidaire is a gem, wish I had one. In the referenced post above, the Whirlpool's dryer heat control said "HOT-Wool & Rugs". WOOL-HOT??? Something's wrong...

Combo52's Demise of the WD;s I know that the early Duomatic was well-rated. I also am aware that the whole 8-10 lb load for combos was able to go through the full cycle interrupted. I don't EVER use the heated dry on my Tragic Chef "elCheapeepo", I just open the door, and let the steam...

Which Wisk, Sudsy? Sudsy, what "Wisk" are you referring to, the CURRENT liquid(YUCK!) or the several-years-ago old liquid, and then again WHICH scent? I have a 100 oz jug at home of Wisk Sport that smells the BEST of all, except the old Power-Scoop powder that I loved.

Combo's are not so effective I know I may get some flak about this post, but while I loved the original "combo concept", I would never have bought one of those products. It is understood that cycles of current front-load washers take at least an hour & upwards to complete. With the current...

Post# 559016, Reply# 15 11/24/2011 at 22:03 by peteski50 Hi Peter! I wonder, and am pretty sure, that the "automatic" control on the Fridgette you remember, meant the washer went from wash-fill to drain, to fill to rinses with no intermittent spins, of course.
