Austin, a Bosch Axxis cannot hold 23 towels. The tub on mine is 1.9 cubic feet. Great machine though. I think you're referring to the new full-size Boschs that just hit the market. Pete

I'm watching it right now! I'll have to check it out.

Out of nowhere, an 18-oz. box of Axion detergent booster showed up at a local convenience store near me. It was the same version from the early '90s, before it disappeared (at least here) - bright blue box, orange/yellow lettering. I scooped it up at $3. The box smells like the store it was...

Beautiful pictures! My aunt had a very similar model in the '70s, also gold. There were a few differences though. Only the left half of the main timer dial was exposed on the control panel. The tub was gray-speckled, and the vari-flex was gold. Perhaps this was a slightly different model in the...

I've seen new versions of those on European sites, and would like to purchase one. However, these sites are not set up like American ones, and there is no purchase/delivery available. I'm leary of E-Bay, so probably won't check out these particular machines. Does anyone know how to order from...

By the looks of that fabric softener dispenser, I doubt any of it actually made it into the tub! It looks like water was not added with softener to help flush it out...rule #1 with softener dispensers! Pete

My two cents: I have a Bosch compact which has hot and cold hose connections, and it's own internal heater. I think these machines are useful when a home's water heater is located some distance from the laundry, as is mine. You can be assured that you'll get the proper wash. I've used only the...

These have been sort of a novelty to me since I was a kid (anyone else?). If my aunt happened to go to a laundromat, she would bring me a little box of Tide. She knew I watched my Mom's Kenmore all the time. To this day, on rare occasions when I need to visit a laundromat, I'll pick up a few...

Persil Steve, The link below will direct you to Persil. If it doesn't work, simply do a search on Persil, and click on the link that mentions "factory direct". http://www.factorydirectsuperstore.com/Persil.htm This is how I made my purchase, which arrived only a few days afterward on my...

Launderess, I'm thinking that the new Tide with a Touch of Downey must contain a similar formula as the old Bold detergent with fabric softener (I used this in college, and loved its clean mild scent). I do think there must be differences between softeners used in the wash cycle vs. the rinse...

Launderess, Here in Michigan, Ariel was discontinued in the major grocery stores about six months ago. I bought a few of the small boxes on clearance at that time (I think they hold 10 or 11 loads worth). The only places I can find it now are dollar stores. Where in the U.S. are you? Pete

PeterH770 and Jeanne: Yes, my Bosch Axxis machines are the compact ones. I just measured them, and the cabinets are the same size: about 23" wide and 22" deep. I left 8" of space behind them for hose connections. I have the vented dryer model, which has an exhaust cap in the rear, and on either...

Pulsator, I don't have a scanner, so unfortunately can't provide pics. I have an Avanti Eco Egg and a Cyclone Washmate. They can be purchased on the web. They are both very convenient, small and easy to store. The Washmate is simple as it requires no hook-ups. The Eco Egg is as close as you...

Pulsator, I don't have a scanner, so unfortunately can't provide pics. I have an Avanti Eco Egg, and a Cyclone Washmate. You can buy them on the web. They are inexpensive, very small and convenient! The Washmate is very easy to use because there are no hook-ups involved. The Eco Egg is as...

Try Bosch! Jeanne, I own a set of compact Bosch Axxis+ models and would highly recommend them. They are two years old. The washer is very quiet, but the dryer is somewhat noisy (you can hear the airflow and reversing drum direction). Still, it is no worse than some other dryers. My set is...

Agitator Cap Yes, that's the cap my parents had in their model. Also, the words "Super Roto-Swirl" are molded into the gold plastic in one spot near the edge of the agitator skirt.

WOW! That's the EXACT Kenmore 800 my parents had for 16 years, beginning in 1971...down to the gold color. The tub was white, with a gold Super Roto-Swirl. This takes me back! Pete

Has anyone tried this yet? I'm curious, but wouldn't use it in my Bosch front-loader since it's not a low-sudsing HE formula. I do have two small countertop models in which I could test it though. Pete

SmartDrive Videos DADoeES: Thanks for the in-depth descriptions! This sounds like a very interesting, unique machine. When I moved two years ago, I was considering a Fisher & Paykel, a Bosch front-loader, and a Kenmore Calypso. I settled on the Bosch and couldn't be happier with it (from what...

SmartDrive Videos I downloaded and watched the F & P wash video. Interesting machine....I've never seen a near 360 arc before, and it seems really quiet. However, please tell me that the machine was set on a handwash or delicate cycle when the video was taken! That action seems too mild for any...
