    about cascade complete and separate rinse aids

    Cascade rinse agent was around in the early 2000s when I bought my Bosch DW. Normal price was about the same as Jet Dry, but sometimes on sale it could be considerably cheaper. I noticed no difference in performance between the two.

    French Door Ovens Are Back

    My concern is that some consumers will see this as a must have item, without considering the venting requirements and heat generation.

    The Inevitable has happened - No more WP agitator washers...

    I bought my parents this model http://www.homedepot.com/p/Whirlpool-3-6-cu-ft-Top-Load-Washer-in-White-WTW4800BQ/204307117 and it still appears to be available for sale. Parents are very pleased with it. It has selection dials for water level, temperature, and second rinse, in addition to the...

    French Door Ovens Are Back

    My parents' first (purchased) house had a built in GE gas wall oven with French doors, circa 1958. This was standard builder-grade, nothing fancy. I think it was 27" maximum, and possibly only 24" (which today is the "standard" size for the few gas wall ovens still made in USA). Thinking back on...

    I recall an interview with the CEO of Big Lots who said that well over half their clientele is comfortably middle class or higher. And that a sizable minority (like 30%) was upper middle class or higher.

    Agree re: why I don't shop Walmart. In addition to the deplorable manner in which the employees are treated, they have a history of running the smaller stores out of business, then raising prices when they are the monopoly. As said earlier, there is a hillbilly/white trash atmosphere in our...

    Having brought back Persil in the plastic bag containers for so many years, I am accustomed to emptying the packets into a sealed container (usually a Glad sealable plastic container, intended to store food) to avoid spills. I did break down and violate my no=Walmart pledge by purchasing an...

    I won't set foot in Walmart, but I will and did order a bottle of Persil pearls from walmart.com The Amazon price is outrageous, but less than what one used to pay at Miele retailers.

    Pressure Cookers

    I used to be terrified of them after having watched an episode of "Lassie" as kid in which the pressure cooker exploded and nearly killed Lassie.

    Frigidaire Strips Features From Their TOL Appliances

    FYI gas ranges I looked on the Frigidaire website and noted the following: 1. Their TOL single-oven gas range still has third element convection cooking with conversion. Further down the line, they still seem to offer an entry-level convection model, with fan but without third element, but...

    Pressure Cookers

    Amazon carries the WMF pressure cookers. But I subscribe to their website and get notices of one-day sales. I really like the idea of the set because you don't have to buy two separate cookers of different sizes (the 6.5 lid is interchangeable with the 3.5 and 4.5 sizes, I have the 6.5/4.5. I...

    Pressure Cookers

    WMF I bought a WMF set and it arrived this week. I waited for a sale and paid $150 (one day special) for a 3.5 and 6.5 quart set---they use the same pressure lid, and it also came with an extra glass lid, which enables either pan to be used as a covered sauce pan or stock pot. However, when I...

    Frigidaire Strips Features From Their TOL Appliances

    Does the new TOL Frigidaire range have a third heating element around the fan? Or is it the Speed Bake version, with a fan but without an additional element? For over 15 years, they offered Speed Bake (fan only) as an entry level convection model, and "True Convection" (with additional element...

    My bottle of Persil Power Pearls powder arrived Wednesday from Walmart ($4 shipping beats a trip to the store, which is a 20 minute drive each way for me). I think the spout design is terrible. As others have mentioned, powder accumulates in the neck. I'd much prefer German-style plastic bag...

    I live in an upscale area, but very near to a military base, where many of the dependents come from rural areas where Walmart is often the only game in town. Consequently, there is very high brand loyalty in this consumer group. On the rare occasion when I set foot in the store (last time about...

    Has anyone tried it in a front loader yet? The PowerPerls bottle has the small HE logo on the front, but I wonder whether this is copyrighted. I think Costco's powder detergent, which it bills as being suitable "for all machines", also has the HE logo, and knowing the difference in sudsing, I...

    I agree the powder packaging looks like it was designed by an intoxicated person. Since up to now all of my Persil was brought back from Germany in small packets, for years I have simply emptied the contents into an old OxyClean container with a resealable lid to keep out moisture. My FL needs...
