    Lemon Fresh Tide

    We Canadians LOVE lemons eh? Pretty much half of all my cleaning products/soaps/detergents are lemon-scented. Heck, I even had Swiffer dry cloths that were lemon-scented!

    Kenmore Elite 13863 DW with TurboZone

    I have the same model as the previous poster, but in bisque. Jons1077, did yours come with a bottom insulation pad, packaged in the tub, that you had to put in manually? Thanks!

    Heat Pump Frosting - Defrosting

    Most people I know in Toronto have an air conditioner, and a gas furnace. It's not really practical for me to have a heat pump, as I usually like to get my house nice and warm FAST. Temperatures were like -15 degrees Celsius this week, and I don't think heat pumps could keep up with that load...

    Aqualtis equivalent?

    The Oasis HE uses more water than say the Duet, and I find it rinses effectively for my needs personally, as long as the 2nd Rinse is selected. I can fit my queen comforter in perfectly, and sometimes more. It has the largest tub of any washer (4.5 cF) HTH!

    Is Wikipedia Wrong Or Did I Learn Something New Today?

    Don't trust everything on Wikipedia; remember, anyone, and I mean anyone can edit it. Typos are a pretty common problem on articles as well.

    Kenmore Elite 13863 DW with TurboZone

    No, mine never came with an installation pad. Did yours? Mine was QuietGuard 7, the level below QuietGuard 11

    Leaky Oasis + Cycle Vids

    As most of you with this machine know, on the Sheets/Towels cycle, it mostly fills through the dispenser. The problem with this is that, when the tub assembly settles down and the water is landing in the catch funnel, some of the water spills over the edge of the funnel, and onto my floor. Short...

    Kenmore Elite 13863 DW with TurboZone

    I have model 17264, the previous version of this w/o TurboZone II and the optical soil sensor. It's quiet enough for me, and the noise level is great compared to other peoples' dishwashers I've hear operating. My active vent started to not close fully during the pre-wash, increasing the noise...

    Garden Web Laundry forum

    I was jon112, then I changed it to jonv112 to reflect my name here and on YouTube. I have vids of my Kenmore Oasis HE on Youtube, if anybody is interested. http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=jonv112

    Mega Miele?

    Miele @ The Bay I was at The Bay on Tuesday last week, and when I was browsing through the appliance section, I saw a Miele W&D set on display, plus a Advanta and Optima DW on display as well, but they are all so pricey!

    Ivory Soap Shocker

    Kenmore Oasis HE (Don't forget, I have one too!) The tub is stainless steel, with a plastic outer tub. There is no tub brake, since the motor is direct drive, and the entire assembly is hung from 4 corners, for superior vibration isolation. The FS dispenser in the HE model isn't removable, but...

    What would you buy today

    It's about the only TL that spins at 1000 rpm, I think. Actually, the Oasis HE/Cabrio HE spin at about 1050RPM. The lid also locks at the beginning at the cycle, but it has a glass-lid, and depending on the cycle you choose, also has a 360 degree stroke, and is excellent in rolling over large...

    What are these?

    They're dryer softening balls. You throw them in the dryer and they "beat" the clothes, softening them, like tennis balls or shoes. I hear they work well for large items like comforters and pillows.

    Kenmore Portable Dishwasher Question

    Yes, I was aware about the flappers, but I was worried since all of the pressure was being diverted to the top spinner only. Thanks for the help!

    Kenmore Portable Dishwasher Question

    Sprinkler thingy Really? My dishwasher never came with a "sprinkler thingy". I know the Bosch ones do, but mine didn't. Is it a separate item available for purchase?

    Kenmore Portable Dishwasher Question

    Bob, I was also wondering, I have a 2005 Kenmore Elite Tall Tub w/Turbozone, and adjustable top rack. I know that the top rack can be removed if needed, but will the added pressure on the top spinner damage the machine over time in any way? Thanks!

    Halogen Headlights

    True, I guess I never really saw the effects an older person might have because I'm only 14. I still think that HIDs are a must-have on any car, but thats just my opinion.

    Halogen Headlights

    HID bulbs do not cause any more glare than standard halogens if they are aimed properly. Most factory-installed HID systems have an automatic or manual-leveling system to reduce glare. Glare is usually caused when an aftermarket HID is fitted into a halogen reflector, and the light is not aimed...

    Cabrio or Oasis with agitator

    Most problems are caused by user error The Oasis (w/o agitator) is by far the best machine I have ever used. It's water efficient, cycles to suit every item of clothing, and it gets all of my dingy white socks clean. Problems like tangling/wrinkling/roping, are usually caused by user error, ie...

    iPod-dery

    I think iTunes is only Windows XP/2000 compatable, but I've never tried installing it on 98. Who knows, it might work!
