Another Miele PR piece, but fascinating nonetheless. I'd have many more Miele appliances in my home, if the US repair network weren't non-existent outside of NYC and LA. They're fabulous, 'til they break down, or hiccup. Then, you're sort of on your own repair-wise if you're in 40-48 US states...

Fascinating peek inside the magical place where Miele dishwashers and vacuum cleaners are manufactured. Yes, it's a Miele puff PR piece, but still interesting to watch. http://https//www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9g7ZDAt9dg

All this being said, I'm going to reserve judgement on the intelligence of (our) swapping out our 1960-something era 15 CF Kelvinator chest freezer for a 2017 "Energy Star" rated Frigidaire 16 CF FF upright freezer. Both units were/are in a storage shed in the back yard. The Kelvinator unit...

I own a 2016 GE PDT845 and love it. It doesn't have the smart dispense option, but I wouldn't use it anyway. I doubt there's a liquid detergent that can do better than the Cascade Platinum pacs I use in mine. It's quiet, powerful, and has the silverware jets that do a great job blasting up...

Anything anyone ever wanted to know about credit - especially credit scores and the best credit products out there is at www.myfico.com Yeah, it's put out by the FICO folks, but the forums aren't run by them necessarily. If you're looking to repair your credit, or find a decent credit card for...

It was a "Premiere Plus", SCVi898, if I recall correctly. In 2005 it was Miele's TOL model.I still have those parts...now FREE to a good home, you just pay shipping.

I use Persil powder or Persil Pods/Pacs in my W1930 and have no sudsing problems. I use the smaller scoop which came with my Sears powdered detergent. It measures 50 CC per level scoop, to which I add a level TSP of STPP if I'm doing whites.

In Columbia and Charleston, SC: Kroger,Publix, Piggly-Wiggly (it's a Southern/Midwestern thing), Aldi, Whole Paycheck [Foods],Fresh Market, Earth Fare, "El Wal Marto", IGA, Sam's Club, Trader Joe's and Costco. Nothing is walkable, we Southerners like to drive our pick 'em ups...

Curious... Allen Brothers Milling is 2 miles from my home in downtown Columbia, SC, but we have a difficult time finding it in our local stores. Factoid: Adluh is "Hulda" spelled backward. Hulda was the miller's daughter for whom the place is named. It's good stuff, but not easy to find. I...

Bob, Thanks for that nugget of information, it is helpful. Good to know I can use the "Normal" cycle, and will see a possible benefit from sensors. I bob-loaded it up last night; Thanksgiving dinner for 7 with dessert plates, and serving accoutrements, and everything came out sparkling with...

The "sensor" cycle, with NO temperature boost, but with "power dry" added comes in at a whopping 3 HRS, 10 minutes, not counting the extra 90 minute additional power dry cycle (which cancels out if you open the door during that 90 minutes). So, dish-washing has definitely become an overnight...

The new GE was installed today, by the same man who installed the Miele back in 2006. I'm running an inaugural load in it as I write. What I can say, initially is, damn, it's quiet! It's SO MUCH more quiet than the Miele! I'm attributing some of that quietness to the 24" width of the GE -vs-...

Now, before you just check out the headline and say, "Put down the crack pipe, Dave..." there is a REASON to my seeming madness. My 10 year old Miele finally breathed it's last, as far as I'm concerned. It appears that the water intake valve has died (a relatively common problem on Miele DW's of...

Thanks, Coldspot and Askomiele, for your wise words. The problem seems to have disappeared...maybe there was some grit in the inlet valve that was keeping it from closing completely. We're back to normal now for the time being...no more water incursion. I don't know why the repairman, nor his...

My Miele 898SCI Plus (vintage 2005) has recently begun exhibiting an unusual problem. At the end of any cycle, the bottom of the DW is clean and dry, as one would expect. When I open the door several hours later/next morning to unload, the bottom of the DW is full of clean water! So it's...

You CAN walk into Chemistrystore.com, I do it every time I run low on STPP. The store/warehouse is about 5 miles from my home. No shipping either! Just sayin'...

My Miele (G 898SCi Premiere Plus) has started doing something intermittently, that I hope is not a harbinger of doom for this 2005 model unit. Twice, in as many weeks, at the very end of a "normal" or "normal plus" cycle, I'll open the door to find a larger than usual quantity of water in the...

My brother wound up buying a new Speed Queen top loader. Not sure of the model, but knowing him, it would not have been a TOL model. He commented on how comparatively "noisy" it was, compared to the front loader it replaced. I reminded him he replaced a TL Speed Queen with that front loader 7-8...

Yeah he did. He ain't heavy, he's my brother. I told him to buy a Miele, but he ain't down wit' dat. So, keep the reasonably priced suggestions coming!

My 2005 Miele Premiere Plus is beginning to get a little long in the tooth, though it still works very well. The hinged filter assembly in the sump has broken it's plastic hinge twice, but still fits together and does the job, and last week the "blocked spray arm" sensor went awry, and won't...
