Thank you; don't I feel rather silly now... Been reading some Bosch/Thermador stories lately (pissedconsumer.com) and really am puzzled. It seems like BSH is nothing like the European stuff here; yet my Bosch condensing dryer was absolutely fantastic. Upgrading my clunky Frigidaire dishwasher...

Seems like the Thermador is a bit more powerful, probably due to alternating arms. What is that little three-holed mushroom on the bottom of the bosch? My Miele Pro had a similar device and it had always been puzzling.

Ran into worse ideas Favorite reviews include: " I am confident that my two boys' mud-covered clothes are being properly laundered, and I can rest assured that they aren't absorbing any toxic chemicals or lab-created fragrences in the process. My toddler's cloth diapers feel so much more clean...

I made the liquid version once, was using *way* more than the suggested 1/4 cup - pouring freely until a layer of suds appeared in the GE Spacemaker. Biggest issue in my opinion are those bored moms with ***IDEAS*** that decided to write blogs and pinterest posts. It also shows how detergent...

@mamapinky, I'm afraid its one of the nameless independently-operated stores.

@mamapinky, not a trace of enzymes. Surfactants, bleach, phosphates, china protection agent, and fragrance; only got one box to try it out and keep for collection purposes. They want $3.50 a piece and monies are a scarce recently. @launderess, a nearby store near Bronx Park East; am new to the...

In a local dollar store; they had a shelf full of those pristine-looking cartons. Would usually stay away from P&G however this should be an exception as it's an almost historical product.

Looks impressive! Was considering the washer but lack of dedicated "Hand Wash" decided against. Ended up with an E-Lux that doesn't have one either, but that I found out *after* it was delivered and running LOL. Pays to read about each and every model in detail rather than assuming that since...

Never read CR but heard very unimpressive opinions. It can be quite rough if one starts "Sanitize" with max soil level - it's 1.5h of aggressive tumbling in *HOT* water. Even normal goes up to well over an hour total with higher soil levels. Stain Treat as true profile wash proven...

Seems like we're dealing with 3 completely different baffle designs. Mine looks just like CleanteamofNY's one, just thinner C-shape. Frigidaire is S-like. Have noticed laundry also tumbles front-to-back and vice versa, depending on the direction of the drum; improves washability on smaller or...

Am just mostly surprised at the ridiculously sudden change, among *all* manufacturers. It might be a gimmick but worked on me, would prefer the 5 years on transmission over nothing after all!

The article seems to be in good cause, wrong editor though. My Dad changed his old and rusty gas furnace to a newer, "efficient" one 8-10 years ago. Chose a smaller unit thinking lower BTU means more savings. One could run that poor thing on Power Ranger, it would not bring the two-story house...

I would second the Target on 117th St, my primary source of household items. Take 2 train to 116 St, transfer to M116 bus heading east that would take you to 1st Ave. You can download their Cartwheel app and get discounts, they currently have 10% off on Honest detergent, 5% off on Tide and...

Just noticed each and every manual now states they only cover 1 year and thats it. A month ago manuals would still list that e.g. transmission would be covered for 5 years(excluding labor) and basket for 10 years, etc. Also, GE added a "truth or myth" page that covers valuable summary of...

@cleanteamofny, your baffles look a lot deeper, don't think you ran into issues with lack of tumbling on smaller loads. And the Hand Wash! Honestly, two main reasons why the Electrolux seemed so perfect was the heater and Hand Wash. Was disappointed to discover they skipped it on a higher...

Keurig would make some sense if it was an espresso machine - the time of brewing is way too fast to make a drinkable cup of coffee considering lack of pressure, coarse grind etc etc. Grandma likes it, so I tried probably each and every pod they have. All taste like hot water with 1/4 tsp instant...

Lux Family, sounds like we're ready to advertise! I think our machines differ a bit. Currently they have two models, I chose the higher only for the profile wash ability. Both call it "Stain Clean" but mine claims to gradually heat it. "Stain treat uses a special 10 minute soak/pretreat...

While it could be irritating to have a washing machine run longer than 30min, it usually means cleaner clothes. When using TL machines had to resort to long soaks, sometimes overnight. Dishwasher only bothers me when speaking of a portable (unfortunate current setup). However, previous Maytag...

Call me modest I like LEDs. Call me modest again for not being a fan of multi-color LOL. Love white or red wrapped around curtain rods while sipping on espresso martinis, a bit of kitsch hasn't killed me yet.

@gelaundry4ever, the machine remembers options selected for each and every cycle separately - link will take you to a manual that beautifully explains default settings. Apparently the rinses depend on recirculating water from below the drum - kinda like the Whirlpool Combo. Anything more sudsy...
