    How often do you run your dishwasher?

    We own a Siemens, which is also a Bosch I hear, we run it every day, weekends more, when entertaining sometimes 5x a day. So this is the first time I have heard a Bosch's that wash performance is not as good on the third consecutive cycle. And the Siemens have not skipped a wash. It really is...

    Odd new usage by BSH washers

    What would the impact of all that extra time in the washer mean on the impact of the clothing's fibres? Surely it must have a negative effect, meaning your clothes will get worn out more quickly??? Can't be good for them. Regards

    LG Flagship TL Fail

    What terrible performance!! We were at my parents house for the Easter weekend and had to do some laundry for the children (two of them now, one 4 and one 14 months). (they have very new LG TL) What abysmal performance, firstly it uses litres upon litres of water in a very water scarce country...

    The Miele is back

    So glad that you have come to your senses. A superb machine in every which way. We have been enjoying the luxury of a MIELE for the last six years and would not have it any other way. And I agree with tomturbomatic - the benchmark for which you will always compare all other machines too...

There has also been reports in newspapers and the like that our major cellular providers wants to curb the usage of Whatsapp due to the fact that it...

    Which Miele Washers Are Best?

    I can recomend our Miele, it is a Miele 5740, it has been running flawlessly for the last almost six years. I know that it is not really a long time but during that period our family have doubled and it keeps up with our daily loads of laundry. The machine really cleans deep and good white...

    Creme de la creme...

    Well congratulations on a very neat set of machines!! As stated in previous posts of mine on this forum, they are really excelent in cleaning!! We have two children and these days they generate a lot of laundry, but the Mieles just take it in their stride. The condensor machines really does...

    Volksgate: The Volkswagen 'scandal'

    Well they designed the DSG so.. anything is possible. I had the 2011 Euro Passat with DSG box, and I can honestly say it is a box of crap!! They had to change the cluth system two times in the two year period that we had it, first one on 25000 km, next one on 55 000 km, and it would have gone...

    Your Opinions Please: About To Purchase Maytag Or Samsung Laundry Pair

    I can't really comment on the Maytag as we do not get Maytag in South Africa, but regarding your post about the availability of spares of the Samsungs, I think I have figured them out, they were never disigned to be repaired, instead you can just throw them away at the first hint of problems, so...

    Industry Firsts, appliance brand heritage

    @ Jkbff, I cannot agree with your statement regarding the Samsung appliances more, I cannot take it when people, customers, friends or family think that they now own the best of the best because it is a Samsung!! I have had my share of Samsung experiences which was pi@@poor to say the least...

    Thoughts on LG TurboDrum washers?

    My Mother had the exact same one, by looking at the picture. Well it uses a lot of water, does not really clean clothes properly, sometimes can't even disolve the detergent, does not heat the water and the spin action is rather slow and will develop balance issues. After we visit her and we...

    New Kitchen Aid Blender

    @ foralosius, I had a look on the web at the Thermomix, but it seems to be extremely expensive!! And at the end of the day would one really use it that much, it just seems easier to chuck everything in a pot and put it on the stove. Anyways to rich for me. cheers

    What is the worst dishwasher you've ever owned?

    LG!! Very unreliable, It had the small wash arm that was fixed to the lower wash arm, that thing constantly fell off. Had issues with the latch as well, as in it would not lock the machine, constant error codes. The Led setup died, so you had no idea whether the machine was switched on or on...

    New Kitchen Aid Blender

    It maybe a bit off topic but since we are discussing mixers/blenders that are rather expensive, what about a Thermomix? http://thermomix.vorwerk.com/home/ Apparently it can do almost anything in the kitchen. So if one wants to take gadgetry to the next level I think this will do.

    My New Dishwasher :)

    Really good looking machine, congratulations on your purchase, I think you will have years of trouble free dishwashing. As stated in previous posts that I have made, we have a Siemens, but I think it is the same thing as the Bosch, and we have not had one problem for the past seven years, we...

    Window Air Conditioners Good and Bad

    We have bought a portable/mobile airconditioner, as the house that we once rented did not have any A/C. That was our second portable, the first one was something out of the Orient, was terrible, noisy, not very efficient. And I bought a new one Olympia Splendid PIU, they are an Italian Heating...

    Window Air Conditioners Good and Bad

    Have you ever considered a split unit system? http://www.airconditionerinstallationbrisbane.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/LG-diagramatic-split-system.jpg They really are very efficient and quiet. Actually it is kinda weird that there is not more of the split units going around in the...
