Whilst cruising around Youtube I found a commercial for S.O.S. Dishwasher detergent. Does anyone remember S.O.S. making dishwasher detergent? Here is a a link to said commercial...... Chris

Cascase Complete Tabs Are the North American version of the Fairy Tabs. I have had the same issue you're describing with those things. I wasn't aware at first that the dishwasher was over sudsing but when my glassware came out with a heavy, greasy film on them I knew something was up. I called...

OMG!!! That was my moms first dishwasher! I remember hearing this thing run once, and it was a beast of a machine from what I can remember. This poor thing though looks like it has seen better days. Chris

Water Softener Setting According to the manual from Miele's website for your model, it looks like "1" should be your lowest setting. I hope this helps. Chris http://www.mieleusa.com/manuals_pdf/Residential/Dishwashers/English_manuals/Operating_Instructions/G572_us_1.pdf

HDA865 I grew up with that Hotpoint HDA865. It replaced the 1974 Whirlpool we had. I never really cared for that Hotpoint very much, it was very noisey and somewhat difficult to load. However, it did serve its purpose and it was better than washing the dishes by hand. Christopher

Miele regeneration My Miele regenerates at the beginning of every 10th cycle prior to the Pre-Rinse. With a water hardness of 7 grains per gallon and an average of about 4 loads per week, a box of salt will last me about 6 months. Chris

Junk.. My parents had that exact same washer when I was a teenager. Run away! Run as fast as you can! Chris

Finish Quantum I too have had good results with the Quantum tabs, both phosphated and non-phosphated. I think I will probably use them as my main detergent after I run out of my stash of Cascade. I have tried two versions of the new formula of Cascade ( Complete Gel & Cascade w/Dawn powder )...

In the Miele.... I normally always use "Sensor Wash". I find for the majority of my day to day dishwashing this cycle works best. The main wash temperature range is anywhere from about 115F to 153F depending on soil level and the final rinse I believe is 153F for sanitizing. This cycle includes...

Mysteryclock The fragrance of the Renewing Rain HE which I use smells very good to me. It reminds of shampoo actually. The scent does hang on to the clothes but I do not find it to be over the top. They just smell fresh and clean. In all honesty the first few times I smelled it, it actually...

Tide Total Care I recently (within the last 2 months) started using Tide Total Care for my colors and darks and have to say that I am rather impressed with it. My darks have not faded and colors seem, well, colorful. I have noticed that with sweaters that have had issues with pilling, that...

Up & Up I have found that Target's Up & Up Fabric Softener in the "Spring Fresh" variety smells very similar to the "old" April Fresh Downy. Just not quite as strong, but a pleasant frangrance none the less. I hate the new April Fresh Downy, it stinks. LOL Chris

Video Can we please have a video of this? This is the dishwasher from my childhood. My mom had the 5 button & knob Whirlpool version of this machine. I'd sure love to hear it again. It ran from 1974 when she and my dad remolded the kitchen until about 1983 or 1984 when it gave up this ghost...

Racing Stripes Indeed it does Toggs, indeed it does. Talk about airing your dirty laundry, lol.

Ummm.... yeah.... You have to see this to believe it. I am not sure if this video belongs in this forum or not, but it does involve a somewhat modern washer. Some people never cease to amaze me. Have fun with this one. Christopher

Love it! That calendar is awesome. Check with your local Miele dealer as they may have "extra's" for sale. When I bought my dishwasher last year my dealer brought me a Miele coffee mug and a Miele notepad as gifts for my purchasing the dishwasher from them. I was going to call him and see if I...

Ahhhh, That is our Tide Stain Release that we have here on this side of the pond. We have the liquid, tabs, and powder. I have used both the powder and tabs and I must say, they really do work. But I would think with your longer, hotter wash programmes you wouldn't really need these. But it is...

I don't know... Frugal or not, this just seems like it is more trouble than it is worth to me. I do know what it is like to have to get by on limited funds and literally live paycheck to paycheck. In those days one did make concessions and tried to purchase cheaper products that would still get...

I have seen these two crack-nuts before. Don't they realize that with the money they spend in supplies they could just buy a cheap box or bottle of dishwasher detergent and get the same, if not better, results than with this homemade stuff? And it would be a lot more convenient too. I don't...

Figures.. Miele would come out with a new dishwasher less than a year after I bought mine. But I love mine so it doesn't matter. :-) Christopher
