    Newer Kitchenaid dishwasher see-through in action, opinions requested

    It's a very brief clip because I haven't gotten around to editing together a more detailed shot, but here's a close up of the X-arm in the KDFE104H model. I can't remember why I had the filter removed...I think I was trying to see where exactly those downward jets were aimed and actually...

    VMW WTW4930XW1 Trouble

    This poor machine has been treated like crap. I’ll disagree to my grave that VMWs like this one are poor performing or poorly built. The 4800 model I had that was bought in 2012 is a fantastic machine both build and performance-wise, and since giving it to my aunt whose ‘98 WCI-Frigidaire...

    New Dishwasher Shopping

    Not sure where the misinformation is coming from, but the smaller magnetic motors that Whirlpool and KitchenAid dishwashers use do NOT run for 20 minutes and sit for 10. Whoever thinks as such has clearly no actual experience using these machines. Once past the prewash, these machines don’t...

    2018 Maytag vs. SQ

    With all respect, there is a HUGE difference between a DirectDrive and the VMW belt drives. This Maytag Commercial model is the first to use the short quick strokes for long periods of time rather than switching to the longer wide strokes at the beginning of the wash portion. The shorter stroke...

    2018 Maytag vs. SQ

    The most fascinating part of Speed Queen’s logic behind this machine is that whenever they show their own demonstrations of wash action, the tub is filled with what can’t be more than a half tub of dry clothes, yet a full tub of water. I’m sorry, but where is the improvement from the past design...

    What drive mechanism does this use?

    This is the VMAX platform, which uses a BPM rotor/stator but it's coupled to a gear box that essentially serves as a torque converter, providing a ~2:1 ratio between the agitator/washplate and the motor. It is still able to adjust stroke length and power on the fly and can still sense load and...

    whirlpool global wash system

    I'm not sure I have much information regarding details, but I have found a few tidbits regarding the Global Wash platform laying around the internet. I believe the GW was launched around 2011 or so, when the Point Voyager platform began to be phased out. Of course it was launched first with...

    Finally the full wash video of the new 2018 Speed Queen washer

    That Frigidaire Immersion Care contraption had more zest than this thing. I'd rather have a Cabrio to be honest. At least the clothes move uniformly and I'm not wasting 50 gallons of water a load.

    New Maytag commercial top load washer video.

    I love that the video of my Whirlpool (the one with the orange fabric softener in the dispenser) has been making its rounds, haha. :P But I LOVED that 4800 model. Four water level selections that ranged from the top of the lower agitator, to the top of the basket where it's shown here. And no...

    PROOF That H.E. Washers DON'T Save Water!

    People only want to gripe for the sake of griping. It doesn't matter how much logic they're presented with. This is especially true with our current political climate. HE washers of both types work perfectly fine, if the user has enough common sense to operate them properly.

    Maytag Jetclean Plus Dishwasher issue resolved!!

    This is a video of a Voyager platform dishwasher surging. You can tell after a few seconds of full force spray. This machine either has a clogged chopper inlet screen or may not be filling properly.

    KM/WP DW losing water during wash after sensing

    Have you tried removing the wash arm and filter assembly and checking the inlet grate? If not, it wouldn't hurt. Not only can you make sure it's clean and free of debris and large objects like bread ties and tooth picks, but there is also a small rubber flapper valve, almost shaped like an army...

    The Three Phases of a Powerwave!

    The water pressure is quite pleasing. :) In my Whirlpool I'll occasionally have some of my smaller bowls clink together if not spaced just right, and have even had plastic cups in the TOP RACK that will "bump" when the lower arm is active because the jets are able to hit it just right, even...

    Life with the GE Profile DW, 2016

    This.... is absolutely gorgeous! The lighting and everything is excellent. I've watched it through twice now mesmerized because it looks like a water feature in a fancy hotel fountain. This is excellent work! :D And I have to say, I still think the S-arm looks much more effective at throwing...

    My Kenmore Laundry Center Lives!

    Most all washers of the last 5 to almost 10 years, top and front load, have started using a lower spin speed in just the first spin after the wash to keep the load from plastering tightly to the sides of the basket, and to reduce suds lock because the soapy water isn't being as aggressively...
