G’day! While unloading my dishwasher, I noticed what appeared to be food residue and standing water. Is this normal? And if not, how do I fix this? I’m definitely not handy, so I’d like to know what’s involved…

@thomasortega "...New models to be released the next few weeks (Scirocco washer-dryer combo, Babysitter Washer, Babysitter dryer, WonderWash PRO, Special washer-dryer combo, and the twin tub Square-D and the dishwasher DishyWashy also don't have any discount other than the regular discount...

Truthfully? Never. I get that the government (both local and national) wants to put an end to pollution. But the fact of the matter, is that the technology is not ready for prime time yet. Don't get me wrong; Mrs. Volvoman and I have casually talked about replacing one of the ICEs...one day...

@ qsd-dan When you say that the fragrance is light and almost undetectable, please tell me that it's not that same, godawful sickly sweet scent that now passes for Tide original powder. I purchased a small box of that variety several months ago, and couldn't wait to be finished with it...

Re: Better Homes and Gardens April, 1970 I'd love to know what kind of machines are in that BH&G article....

Sooooooo?? How did you make out with your run up there?

@angus NuSoft!!! I completely forgot about that! Interesting that you’d bring up IGA; our local one used to carry both the liquid and dryer sheets, but no more. Thanks for the tip that I can order it online; I may very well do that!

...start to smell so nauseating? I ask, because a couple of months ago, I ran out of my wonderful Miele fabric softener. I live near the corporate center, and they did not have any in stock. They did, however, have these Keurig cup-looking things of softener - and the Mrs. and I really liked...

@qsd-dan My apologies. I actually meant the commercial for the dishwasher, or the exact episode it appeared on.

@awooff ...I hate to bump an old thread, but I've got a question. You mention that these dishwashers were advertised to handle an entire cake. Do you remember how far back this was? Someone mentioned that this commercial was challenged on an episode of "Fight Back! With David Horowitz"...

Interesting... ...how Amazon carries the European dosage, with the much smaller measuring cap, while the standard US-market Persil in the supermarkets comes with a gigantic measuring cup.

Damn! Valvashon - thank you so much for the generous offer! Unfortunately, I just ordered one yesterday afternoon.

John… Proving that I know nothing about electricity (Mrs. Volvoman finds this quite amusing), I have to ask - the lower the gage number, means the more it can handle? Also, would WP still have that sink aerator available? Or is this going to be trial and error with the hardware store, until I...

I just ran my first test load in it. This machine is a beast. It reminds me of the built-in Whirlpool that I had growing up, circa 1982 or 83. It did a wonderful job of cleaning. A couple of quick questions… 1: My kitchen has a very wonky layout. The nearest outlet, requires me to stretch the...

I have no idea how old this is, but it is a Whirlpool portable dishwasher. I believe it is one of the larger ones. Definitely not a beauty queen, but it is in decent shape. Total price was 90 bucks. The guy said that it ran, and washed great. Unfortunately, I need to run to Home Depot for an...

@thomasortega In a post from last year, you mention the following... "There will be a fully automatic version (800 rpm spin) and a washer-dryer combo version (1500rpm) with all the bells and whistles one can imagine". Are these still on tap? Also, I seem to recall you mentioning a...

"...Isn't someone here interested in these eco, low waste products?.." For me? No. I say this as someone that has tried various "eco" detergents - be it liquid, powder, or sheets - only to be underwhelmed by every single one of them. Sure, I'd love to do my part...but I've yet to find one...

Curious about something... Every so often, I see a post here and there about Aldi UK's "Almat" detergent, and that it's supposed to be pretty good, with a great scent. I know that there are various websites out there, where one can buy British and German goods, and have them shipped to the...

I've used Salvo dishwashing liquid... ...it's sold at some of the Hispanic supermarkets in my area. Cleaning-power wise, it's near identical to Dawn. I purchased the blue variety, which seemed to have a scent somewhere in-between a standard dishwashing liquid and blueberries. It was quite...
