Trader Joe's has existed in California since the mid-1960s. It was acquired by Aldi (either by Nord or by the pre-split combined Aldi) in I believe the 1980s.

I have a friend in Stockholm whose family owned one when they lived in an apartment that could not be modified. As the family grew, they bought a 1930's era house and remodeled the kitchen, and installed a GE built-in DW (c. 1970).

Neff Very nice. I like the fact that one may either hide the door or leave it sticking out, depending on one's needs. The house in which we lived when I was 2-5 years old was brand new (built 1958) and featured builder=supplied GE French door gas wall ovens. Most of the residents in the...

As it was explained to me by a salesperson at Williams-Sonoma, 5 qts is the upper limit for tilt models. In machines any larger, the motor is heavy enough to make the whole machine tip over if it were tipped up in tilt-head configuration, so above 5 qts the only option is bowl-lift. As a result...

IKEA Most IKEA stores in the USA include a food market. The one in OC sells Swedish style herring in glass jars.

when I owned a now-deceased Rhodesian Ridgeback dog, we had no raccoon problem: he killed dozens of them, just for fun. Now that he died, they are coming back. ps to Panthera; aus, ausser, bei, mit, nach, seit, von, zu brauchen immer DATIV..... ;) Amis müssen ihre Präpositionen auswenden lernen.

we had a phillips canister in Nijmegen. They had some dogs that shed a lot (Chows) so there was always vacuuming.

1. When I lived in Lent (Nijmegen) as an exchange student, we had an AEG Turnamat, in the garage. 2. All those ads for stores in Leeuwarden. Were the customers allowed to make purchases in Nederlands (Dutch language) or were they required to speak Frisian? ;) 3. Growing up in USA, I knew the...

Mazda CX-5 My Mazda crossover (2016.5 model, Grand Touring trim) has an auto-dimming mirror, as did my previous VW Passat TDI (sold back to VW under settlement). They work fine. If either car had a manual override, I never figured out how to make it work. Both cars were the highest trim level...

people ask me for the name of my dry cleaner/laundry agree with johnrk In college, my freshman dorm had commercial Maytags with only Warm or Hot wash options. I had darkly colored items that bled and ruined other clothes in the load. From soph year on, my fraternity washroom had machines with...

My Elux 60 series can handle an entire week's worth of work clothing (khakis and no-iron cotton dress shirts from LL Bean) in a single load. It takes only a bit longer to process the Elux load (loading/unloading slightly longer since there are more articles involved), and thus cuts my laundry...

I had three Badgers in a row (home bought new in 1988 came with a Badger) and none lasted more than three years. BUT they cost under $50 back then, so every three years I'd pull out the old one and pop in a new one. On my fourth try, put in an ISE 333, which had a SS chamber/blades; I think this...

oops While extolling the longevity of my 2001 Bosch 300 series DW earlier in this thread, I mentioned "no service issues ever". This is true, but I had to do one "repair": had some tines and crossbars on lower basket that began to rust through, so I replaced the lower basket via...

here is a 2008 photo of the laundry area in the garage, showing the 2006 Frigidaire 2140 with matching dryer stacked on top. To left of dryer is a sliver of the hot water heater. Not visible on right is the forced air furnace. Former washer space hosts folding tray tables for baskets. White...

Exactly. Stacking my machines was the only legal work=around for the bollard. I have neighbors who cut down the bollard, and installed a FL pair side by side, but the modification is not likely to pass inspection if/when the home is sold. And the last thing you want to do is drill into a...

I have a 15 year old 40 gallon gas heater, Bradford-White brand. Still works well, but to have my ducks in a row, I check out current models online, in case I need to make a quick decision. This is the third WH in 30 years and has lasted longer than the first two combined. I'm thinking it may be...

yes, but.... my current (Elux) and previous (Frig 2140) were both of necessity in a stacked configuration, so more or less one is confined to machines of similar make, so that the stacking kit works. The Frig pair will be twelve years old in a few months and has never had a service call. I gave...

This is the Elux model that replaced the model I have (purchased 2014, 60 series). http://laundry.reviewed.com/content/electrolux-efls617siw-washing-machine-review if you scroll to the end, the reviewer states larger machines exist from Kenmore and LG, but if you are trying to keep within...
