    Scientists Conclude We Don't Load Dishwashers Correctly

    scientists conclude....my A___ After having skimmed through the first few lines (until I reached this godforsaken lame "..following the rotating sprayer arms") I have no other "conclusion" myself that this must have been one of the "ACH so many" needless and pointless, ever self-repeating...

    Great day to do some baking

    Thank you so much! Sam, I tried the recipe and I felt so sick afterwards (litterally): The cream is so yummy that I could not resist eating 2 portions / cups of it. Which resulted in having too little to spread it on the cake, which resulted in having to make more of it. A friend who tried the...

    Anyone recognize those washers ?

    Nicht ganz sicher hi Stefan, das ist schwierig, weil damals alle Maschinen diese "Flügelbullaugen" hatten. Ähnliche habe ich gesehen auf einer Ausstellung im letzten Sommer hier im Technoseum. Auch hatte meine Oma eine solche, die ZET Zimmermann "Zetomatic". Allerdings hatte diese nicht wie...

    Me selling 2 vintage percolators and the stuff of a house

    Sold. Moccadur pressure coffeemaker still to be had The Rowenta unit (on the right) is gone now. The one on the left (Moccadur, former East German Republic) is still to be had. Note: This is not a regular percolator but a steam powered pressure coffee maker, very much like the contemporary...

    Blenders

    Any of them Hey Brian, lucky you (a sporty hubby frankenblending around in the kitchen with protein powders....) But blenders: What was said before (glass or metal jars) seems precisely what I have observed here: My older Waring and the Osterizer (they had been bought on a trade fair here)...

    Me selling 2 vintage percolators and the stuff of a house

    A dear friend of mine is clearing 2 large appartments full of antiques and vintage stuff, as her mother has died some weeks ago. I have known the old lady for years, she was an antique dealer for decades. We created a web gallery for all to look at what is to be had. Especially interesting...

    Instant Coffee?

    Instants? Have drastically improved here While some 5 years ago I wouldn't have trusted anyone offering me an instant coffee, I do tend to think differently now. Penny's "Sofortwach" (= instantly alert/awake) just got me grabbing the jar just by the name. Jacob's "2 in 1" (milk + coffee = café...

    So..I splurged and bought a Maytag Bravos XL

    Thank you so much for explaining all this Andrew, thanks for having done such an elaborate job on outlining all those cycle sequences to us. Now it is deffo: I do want one! But I cannot make out whether it can be transformed to Euro current (coming from the service diagrams I have here). I am...

    Loudest and Quietest washing machines

    US washer not loud / sounds pleasant or not? Owning just 2 American type toploaders and 3 Euro front loaders I cannot speak for the crowd. Here are my modest observations: My GE Filter Flo was somewhat loud, now it is not anymore. I once have packet the outer tub with rubber foam/heat...

    Making Coffee Custard

    Thanks so much for getting me hooked on this Kevin, once again a recipe to redo and to get hooked on to. This is yummy and I regret to not having left more coffee over. And finally (thanks to this video) I am well informed about the differences between custard, German "Pudding" and Dutch "Vla"...

    How does your washer handle Sudslocks?

    depends on the manufacturing decade My older Lavamat (1960s water hog) will do nothing but stubbornly follow the mechanical cycle sequence (which is no problem at all since the only programme overrides are an overheated motor or a clogged drain filter: The thermo cut out will pop and the...

    Are we aware of our knowledge?

    Sorry guys and gals, been absent for some weeks due to a hospital break away from "normal" life. Once absent you have a lot of time to think: What came to my mind is this: All product information, all company ups and downs, all detergent flavours: It is all gathered here, yet in a very random...

    The electric household

    Mike, a Z55 suggests... ...an Electrolux (as far as I know). (and sorry for the delay, I had a busy weekend) No, this is a Progress vacuum (a Stuttgart company, they were strong in the 30s to 80s, later they were swallowed by AEG, who in turn was quickly absorbed by Electrolux (while being...

    The electric household

    Please join me on my visit today: I went to "TECHNOSEUM" (technology museum of Mannheim) to the special exhibition "the electric household". Unfortunately, I discovered this only yesterday while it will end on Sunday. So I hopped in the car to see it! Here is the original link...

    All about lighted console.....

    my 2 Lavamats Some 1964 Lavamat Regina and some model of the successor line from 1969 Lavamat Nova L. Doors ajar, timers off. That is why the timer lamps are not on and aglow. Model on the left has an indicator disc type timer with rapid advance setting(position 14 on the selector knob, all...

    What makes you Happy for a Doller =1.00

    nothing to be had here, but... Food- or drinkwise you cannot get anything here under 1.50 (rural) or 2.50 (smaller cities) or let's say 3.50 (major cities). Yet, here is my list: 1. A 5-litres canister of chlorine bleach, no-name brand from France (€ 1.15) 2. Some "Summer Freshness" no-name...

    AEG Lavamatic 64SL

    hey Louis! Of course the pics must have been yours, as you own several versions of this machine ;-) (just did not take the time to mention you personally - slamming in "of this forum" instead. But WHO does NOT know that you are the king of "Wackelwürfels" (wobbling cubes, as housewives here had...
