Can't really help with anything else but Miele recommends that those with soft water deactivate the "add salt" light by: opening the lid pulling the floater tube towards the opening removing the yellow cap removing the floater using pliers replacing the yellow cap. Am guessing that dark water...

Technically you could make ice cream even with skim milk alone, but that would greatly affect the texture. Fat and sugar act as emulsifiers to prevent crystal formation and regulate how hard the finished product will freeze. While ice cream is lovely I find myself mostly making gelato, with...

Wow I envy you that pair. It seems like they corrected most of the bugs of EIFLS60 - rinse levels below the drum, just recirculated, on all cycles; spins between all rinses only on Allergen and Sanitize; fast redistribution; redundant "touch-to-open". How does it fill for warm? Hot first...

Makes me wonder how do they maintain stock and inventory... There has to be someone who sits down and creates orders - do they just tick off anything out-of-stock on a list provided? How do they know which parts to carry and which are unnecessary?

Well why so harsh? People buy what they're told to buy, if they have no technical knowledge in what they're after. After all, not every human in the world has a degree in laundry. If one goes to a store and sees an item called a washing machine, one would assume it would actually be a washing...

How about Ikea? Most of my duvet cover sets come from them. Although ridiculously inexpensive and seemingly low thread count, they starch wonderfully, wash beautifully, and last years. They've recently added 100% linen sets and I will be visiting their store to feel them.

@paulc, we seem to be sharing very similar approach. Recently found out Frosch started distributing their products here; only a limited number of items but they claim it will expand. I have to admit to missing their laundry powders and dishwasher tablets, they were close to perfect back in...

Not entirely sure how much it differs from my current Electrolux. The machine would fill with a bit of water, start the recirc pump and continue filling. Guessing it's just a marketing trick.. Major improvement I'm looking out for is the ATC. Figured out that on warm setting, it would fill...

As good as it seems like It all comes from the simple acidity of the vinegar. It will cut through soap scum, dissolve mineral buildup etc. Claiming it's anti-bacterial is an over-statement. Full-strength (not-diluted whatsoever) regular vinegar will kill *some* bacteria indeed. While dealing...

The lovely people from NJ never bothered to reply. Since the broken-softener-Miele was an auction, and nobody bid/used the buy-it-now, I got it for $20. The softener had shuttered into little bits and pieces. According to Google, there was plumbing work done and nobody thought about bleeding...

I thought about a truck when I saw it too, but the lowest quote was over $100. Uber wanted somewhere between $150 and $200. One of those moments when you feel like going to craigslist and getting a used car just to get to NJ LOL They haven't replied yet though, we'll see what happens. @richnz...

Sent them an e-mail, thank you! Problem is there's no car at my disposal, and a cab from NJ would be more than the DW itself lol The broken one apparently stopped working and the tech said it needs a new softener. I'm wildly assuming there's a leak that tripped the floater, but it seems a bit...

That's the problem - if it's something minor it would be too good to pass. Gentlemen, we're speaking One Hundred Thirty American Dollars. Speaking of a Miele, feels like someone forgot about a zero.

Got a ridiculously cheap offer of a Miele dishwasher. Seller mentions however, the softener needs to be replaced and claims he doesn't know why. Couldn't squeeze a piece of information whatsoever. Do you think it's worth it? Never heard of a damaged softener unit other than it bursting into...

While searching for a "new" dishwasher to finally trash my Frigidaire, came across a pristine-looking KitchenAid. Hope someone can save it! http://newyork.craigslist.org/brk/app/5552397487.html

@vacerator, If you stretch it, you could call SS a carbon steel product, as it does indeed contain carbon; however speaking of cookware those are two completely different materials. Plain carbon steel pans that Julia talked about a number of times require seasoning. It adheres very nicely and...

Stainless Seasoning It seems what's being referred to is carbon steel actually - fantastic and cheap professional material that requires seasoning and should never be washed in a dishwasher.

I'd look for All-Clad at TJ Maxx, they usually have plenty of those at ridiculously low prices. Anything non-stick will peel at one point or another, so as long as it distributes heat evenly it's good to go. The Ikea ones are pretty inexpensive, cook very evenly and actually withstand...

Bosch Universal was covered by America's Test Kitchen in the video link provided. It's a fantastic machine for large quantities of white and whole wheat bread dough. Unfortunately it's completely incapable of kneading anything that's either dense, like rye bread, or runny, like baguette dough...

Always felt Cuisinart should limit themselves to food processors and this video proved me right. Their cookware imitates All-Clad but is thinner and less convenient to use, their blenders lack power and torque, and their espresso machines choke on any grind that's slower than 10s/shot...
