what were they thinking? Doesn't seem like it was too popular, just saw it on sale online for $200 less than original. The manual claims there are three ways of connecting it - with hot and cold faucets like a regular faucet or an adapter to the faucet, or(!) to the supply of an existing...

Well I think that's slightly different. With a premature baby the immune system isn't developed enough to handle the exposure, let alone process it into antibodies; lack of what you did to ensure hygiene could be rather scary. A lot of people though continue their habits no matter the kids'...

I think certain hygiene standards should be continued. A lot of people take it to extremes, and I believe a child should not only be allowed, but also *encouraged* to play outside, pet animals, roll in mud puddles, you name it. Certain dishes however are, or can possibly be, contaminated with...

used one available? While searching for a Neptune, stumbled across what I assume is one of the Baby Washers. Already used, and judging from the picture, pretty damaged. http://newyork.craigslist.org/brx/ppd/4908258318.html

I'm very unsure what to think about it all, to be honest. Back in Europe, my Mom uses a Bosch, a middle-of-line model that's approximately 10 years old. It uses approx 11L(3gal.) and 1.05kW per cycle. No matter the detergent(Her being a fan of Finish, me being a fan of eco, non-phosphated) or...

Well, it seems like it's the only way. Currently hunting for an enzyme booster I believe might increase the performance levels. Just as an update, Seventh Generation dishwasher gel, as opposed to its powder brother, is one of the worst I ever used. It seems like running my portable Maytag...

There's a picture on Amazon describing how to connect it to a regular faucet - so maybe it is actually a portable. However, with 0.9 cu. ft. capacity, only three temperatures(hot, sanitize and super sanitize), four cycles(normal, quick, delicates and baby clothes, the latter kind of surprising)...

It does look powerful but that report also claims it doesn't clean angled surfaces well - the wall is completely vertical. Also, what happens if something decides to stick out? Regular arm would just stop and probably bottom rack would need to be rewashed but this mechanically-powered device...

As I am opposed to any animal testing, and as much as I can try to avoid certain chemicals in my household, majority of under-the-sink kind of products were substituted for their *better* siblings. However, finding a laundry detergent that would cope with one's needs is still in progress. Gone...

Henkel It's very unfortunate since products manufactured for Eastern European market are of much worse quality. Finish is known for damaging glass (sand used as filler, many housewives turned against dishwashers in general because of that), and one could also smell and see the difference in...

Polish Detergent "Formula contains water softening ingredients which boosts the power of E laundry detergent, even in cold water" E isn't a good detergent, it's considered as a rather bargain powder. Most Poles I know use Persil or Ariel, IIRC. But it is manufactured in Poland, or at least was...

rinse aid residue I stay away from store-bought rinse aid as well as all-in-one detergent. I'm all about rinsing, even more than the actual washing. Those rinse-aid-includeds are supposed to stay in the water until the last rinse - which makes me believe they're using highly adhesive or...

I would wash them in the laundromat too. Just make sure to run a hot cycle with half the dose of detergent and another cold one to ensure proper rinsing. I don't know about machine settings in other areas but in New York it seems two rinses with pulse-spin won't rid of all the detergent that...

I've been using a Bosch condenser since becoming an apt dweller and I absolutely loved it. It takes more time to dry a load compared to vented dryers, but let's be honest, you don't have to babysit your laundry so you can turn it on and go. At the end there for an hour it tumbles every two...

I'm renting a coop and the mgmt company did not allow me to make any changes. It's probably because there's something strange going on with wiring in this apartment. For example one of the 20A outlets seems to be omitting the breakers. Anyways, I saw a couple of those cheap, seemingly made in...

Well that was a desperate kind of thought. Quick look at the breaker box revealed there is only enough space left for a single-pole breaker. It would be too much, and I'm slowly adapting to the thought of selling it. All your answers are greatly appreciated! Time to hunt for a 120v thingy.

The wattage would be limited to 2100 by using the 2000W heater only (low-temp deactivates the 700W). In this case, should one cord be attached to ground and L1, and the other to L2?

I guess a transformer would work but either by limiting usage to 100W or having a 40amp line. It's a longe shot, but since there are two separate 20amp 120v lines available, may it be split between two cords?

And plate.

Thank you for your replies. Unfortunately it's the only dryer possible to use due to lack of venting. Long drying times don't make an issue, a separate spin dryer may also help with that. Unfortunately I rent the apartment, and don't think rewiring anything would ever be possible. Even if it...
