I rarely see Frigidaire dishwashers recommended. They look to have a simple chopper system. Is it price, reliability, design, or something else that keeps them from being recommended? I know the Maytag 4949 is roughly the same price as one of the mid tier Frigidaires. Is the Maytag design...

Show Her Some Videos I’d show her some YouTube videos on the wash action of the new HE top loaders. Then show her some videos of the wash action of the TC5 Speed Queen top loaders.

Miele 7000 series? The new 7000 series Mieles look nice. 3rd rack for silverware with a dedicated spray arm. The 3rd rack is also adjustable so you can place tall cups/water bottles on the middle rack. They look to have an updated system this year with the bottom spray arm is directly...

Thanks for the suggestions Right now my favorite scents are: Mountain Fresh Tide powder and Cool Cotton Downy. I sure do miss those 80’s and 90’s scents.

Are there any 80’s and 90’s detergent/fabric softener scents still out there today?

Nice John! Nice John! I love the stainless! I’m definitely leaning in the direction of speed queen. Thanks for reporting back Jaums. Tons of great info there! Something people can index for reference many years down the road!

Thanks! I appreciate all the help and insight. The reason I ask is that I’ve come to the realization that I’m going to have to go with stacked units. My laundry room is the size of a closet and I’ve tried to make it work in a 9 x 4 room with a top loader, dryer, 100 gallon water heater, cat...

Would the LG TurboWash jets prone to getting gummed up with gunk over a period of time or do they self clean? Also, when the TurboWash jets run rinse water, wouldn’t some of the residual dirt residue from the wash get mixed in with the clean wash water? Also, if the water is set to warm do...

Thanks! Being stainless steel, I’m sure it keeps itself exceptionally clean!

What material is the filter inside the clean water wash system made from?

Congrats! Great Machine!

RE: Why Some Have Had Odors Left On Clothes That’s a good question. My take on why others may or may not have foul smelling laundry from a front loader is that there are many different variables at play. It’s not a one size fits all as each family and machine is different. How many family...

I had a Whirlpool 4000 series front loader from 2009. Hardly any options. I now have a 2017 speed queen top loader. My Whirlpool removed stains better. However, it left a locker room smell on some of that under armor type fabric. This is the reason I went to a Speed Queen top loader. If...

KitchenAid with the clean water was system is a revolutionary leap for dishwasher systems and would easily be my pick.

Update So, after about one week of use on Normal with a heated wash selected, I have zero stains! Yesterday was Spaghetti night and everything came out immaculate, including the tub! I basically use the 4 minute prewash as a prerinse. I only use one Cascade Platinum tab in the main wash...

Kenmore calls it Micro Clean. KitchenAid calls it Clean Water Wash. I don’t believe branded Whirlpools offer the new system.

Congrats on your son’s first house! If I had to do it all over again, I would live by the old “ buy once cry once.” You can always take your appliances with you. That being said, I love the new advanced clean water wash system dishwashers. I’d get the KitchenAid KDTM704kps. As far as...

If you are looking to get commercial grade longevity from a new top loader, my first option would be the Speed Queen TC5.

Are purges hard on dishwasher pumps? Would it be easier on the machine just wash and drain? Particularly, I’m asking for my PowerClean and would like to get as much longevity out of my 2006 machine. Thanks!

I’ve always liked the look of those machines. Unfortunately I never had the chance to get one new. I do see them for sale on the used market once in a while though. What makes them so good performance wise?
