Yes I know they are Whirlpool and not what they used to be, but does anyone have a current Maytag? The features they have that I like are: hard food disposer, nylon racks, silverware not in the door, no towers. I want a decent dishwasher in black in the $400 range or so. Steel tub is not a...

Love my Kenmore canister A friend recently bought a Miele and no way would I pay that much for a vacuum. I've bought cars that cost less than that. Got my Kenmore about 10 years ago and it is great. It has a tool or a setting for any kind of surface in my house. Works great in my car too.

Aldi US I have used the Reeva hand dish detergent, and it seems to work fine. The Reeva machine gel is not that good and left things too filmy. I have not seen Reeva powder in quite a long time. Have never tried their laundry detergent (Tandil) it is not that great of a deal price-wise, and...

keep us posted on the A/C Is it LRA074AT7, 6500 BTU? I have been in the market for a unit of that size, but was hesitant since my 12k btu Frigidaire is wicked loud. The 5.5k Frigidaire I want to replace is a dirt and mold factory. However there are lots of reviews on the Lowes website that are...

Mean Green + Magic Erasers I had a bit of an OCD flare-up on Friday, and cleaned my entire kitchen floor on my hands & knees mostly with (non-bleach) Mean Green and generic Family Dollar Mr. Clean Magic Erasers. I had been meaning to do this for some time. It is old cheap vinyl, and I want to...

I was wondering if anybody had any experience with these? I read elsewhere a claim that these are very similar to the Panasonic models that Panasonic ceased marketing. I had heard that Panasonic were good A/C units. I want to make the right decision on a circa 6000 btu unit. The Frigidaire unit...

family dollar I use another Mean Green product. Generally, I am happy with most off-brand cleaning products there. Its also one of the few places with a decent selection of powder detergents.

Local Hardware Stores A local Ace Hardware has a good selection of laundry accessories, so check local hardware stores. I have seen a DIY clothsline similar to this made from the innards of a former "market" style patio umbrella. The wood frame makes it easy to drill holes and run cord thru...

Question for Laundress Could you please provide additional comments on your Friedrich? Size, model, etc.? I am interested in one, but I would have to order it, and no local dealers in my area carry them. Is it quiet? I'm looking at the Chill series 5450 or 6000 btu models for a bedroom. I...

Toastmaster Breadmaker's Hearth Attached photo is a stock photo of what I have. It is a combination toaster oven, convection oven, and breadmaker. The bread pan (pictured) removes, and a metal cover goes over the mechanism. There is a bottom pan that slides in, and a wire rack. It is the...

Chromacolor, I don't think the current model was available in November. Your friends most likely have the DD ATW4475VQ or XQ. $229 was a good price. I got mine for $269 I think, delivered and installed. It does not use a spray rinse, and fills to the top or at least near, however it does have...

fabric softener Pulsator, The unit did not have a fabric softener dispenser. I have the predecessor ATW4475VQ and it doesn't either. Of all the low end DD (Admiral, Roper, Estate) I don't recall ever seeing any of them with a dispenser, just a cap at the top of the agitator.

I saw one of these at Home Depot yesterday but didn't have my camera/phone with me. There was a lot of descriptive information on the inside of the lid I wish I'd gotten a photo of. #ATW4675YQ Anybody know anything about them...

Love it! I grew up in Delaware near where one brand ("RAPA") is produced. I have heard that other brands are better, but I have not tried them because availability is so regional. RAPA makes a beef scrapple. Not a fan. Likewise Turkey. It is too "wet" and doesn't fry up well without falling...

great info I hope to buy a TV sometime in the next year, so I will definitely comparison-shop when the time comes!

i was out and about Wednesday and personally witnessed Inglis, Roper, Whirpool, and Admiral DD machines in several stores, so they're sure not gone yet.

I've steered from GE I do love my MOL circa 10 yo GE Gas range, which was well rated by CU at the time. I much prefer it to my moms Whirlpool gas range. Mom had a GE DW for a short while, til it got replaced with a Whirlpool. Otherwise I have gravitated towards Whirlpool-made products and have...

still finding a favorite I have to say I probably like Gain HE powder the best. I've pretty much converted to only powders though. No more liquids in my house. Right now I have boxes of Oxydol, Fab, Surf, Era, and "1 cup formula" Sun on the shelf, all bought cheaply at discount stores, which...

insulation, good question This is a great question I was thinking about too. I suspect I may need to replace a dishwasher in the next 6mo or so and my budget options will probably need to be sub-$400, not the quietest of models.

very nice I'd love to have this set. I miss a true two-speed washer and if I buy another TL (vintage probably) its a must.
