My parents recently replaced a Hotpoint electric range with the upper auxiliary oven, electric coil cooktop, full size lower oven (like the GE Americana), because their repair service could no longer find parts for it. The cooktop was lower than counter height by about two inches. Growing up...

When my Frigidaire 2140 was delivered in March 2006, for the first load I ran "clean" clothing, hanging in my closet, which had been washed in my previous GE TL. I ran the load without detergent, and could see suds from residual detergent left in the clothes by my single rinse TL. The 2140 had...

I vote for front loaders. Use way less water and energy (and detergent)---water will always be a perennial issue here in California, in spite of this winter's record snowfall. My current (Electrolux 60) and last FL (Frig 2140---given to my neighbor, works perfectly at 11 years of age) get...

I had a 2006 Frigidaire FL (2350) set which was working well, but my neighbor's washer broke and he was between jobs. I was looking for an excuse to buy a larger machine, and got a new Electrolux pair. My neighbor inherited my Frigidaires, still going strong after 11 years without a service...

Good find. I have a 2001 300 series with no service calls ever, going on 15 1/2 years of ownership. The lower rack was showing a lot of rust a year ago (I had repaired some tines with a kit, but horizontal bars were starting to rust) and I bought a replacement rack for $200. They no long make...

Breville 800 Smart Oven. Makes six slices of toast at once. Can bake pies or pizza up to 13". Accommodates a 13 x 9 roaster/dish or quarter sheet baking pan. I've done two large loaves of banana bread at once, thanks to the convection fan. Just as good as in the big oven, with five minutes...

Lebe modern mit Miele ;)

Is it the Bosch "Extra Shine" cycle? My Bosch 300 series from 2001 gets everything clean. Never any service calls. About a year ago, parts of the lower rack began to rust out, so I replaced it. They no longer made the 300 series lower rack, but there was a size-compatible mid-range rack with...

My favorite is an "ID case" from Coach. Got it for $40 at an outlet center Coach store. Has an ID window on the left, plus a pouch behind the ID sectionwith room to tuck cash (folded in half). I use the ID section for driver's license, plus my medical and dental insurance cards. The opposite...

How about a stack of 24" FL Electrolux or Bosch?

I own a 2004 Frigidaire counter depth side by side (yes, with icemaker/dispenser). It has had only one repair issue in 12 years: the intake solenoid valve that fills the icemaker broke and needed replacement ($65 from RepairClinic.com). Otherwise operation has been flawless. Very pleased with...

LOL. Saw an ad on Amazon yesterday announcing the release of Season Two. Can't wait.

Other issues particular to USA: 1. Large parts of the USA, particularly The South, are hot and humid during the summer. This issue is partly obviated if the washer is inside the part of the house that is air-conditioned (as opposed to basement or garage). In California, the garage has been an...

ps had I purchased my 1983 Revere Ware with the sandwich bottom, I would have had no issues with sparks flying out from the bottoms. But with the copper bottoms (stupid choice: tough to keep clean, plus I always stowed them in a cabinet, so no one appreciated the copper color), this was a major...

OK, good. I meant 1-2 teaspoons (5-10 ml) salt thrown into 4 quarts/liters of cold or line-hot water and then placed over a high flame on a gas range. Perhaps that explains why i have no pitting after four years of unintentional "misuse".

I have a 12 piece set of Multiclad Pro from Cuisinart. I paid $270 for it, a number of years ago, and noticed this week that Amazon is selling the same set for $200. I have augmented my original set by adding a couple of woks (one All-Clad, one WMF) and a 5qt casserole (basically, a 5 qt sautee...

Not much winterizing needed in SoCal, but I did change the furnace air filter and changed out the (rechargeable) AA batteries in the thermostat. We had some 40 F/5 C mornings in late November/early December, so the furnace (a Lennox installed Setp 2015) has actually fired up maybe half a dozen...

I have an Elux 60 series pair, as far as I know delay is available only on the washer....though I can see how it would be useful on a dryer as well. Can't quite fathom the reviews on reviewed.com. The older 60/70 was rated #2, the site seemed to love them. Neither the new model nor the 60/70...

Nice price. I bought mine at W-S when it was on sale for $225 (rather than the usual $250).
