Agitation during filling Hi, David! Do you know how to stop the following? You're right to say, that the timer makes the machine agitate while filling, which is actually not too bad as it helps to soak the dry washing better, avoiding a flowting of some items and helping also to dissolve the...

home-rew spin-mat Yesss....Rubber-Maid - weil's besser geht!! Slogan from ads of Rubber-Maid (R.-M. - because it works better/is better!) lol - Ralf

Uuuuuuiiiiiiiii!!!!! That's the American version of the machine I have: the Hoovermatic 3301L. The difference: yours does not have a heater element - the European has as well as a thermostat! So our machines do heat up to the required temperature (and keep it) and after that the dialed...

MRX Hi, MRX, that is intersting and is defenitely a proof for the theory of the scents as the elicitor of the skin-reactions! Yes, you are right in saying so about these modern "rinse cycles" that actually do not deserve the name rinse at all, do they? Best is: a good amount of water in each...

Hello Mike! Reallllyy? Didn't know that there have been gas-heated twinnies at all? How amazing! And how environmental friendly - ages ahead of their time! Yes, I would love to have that machine - but it's too difficult to organaize a transport from the UK to Germany... Made a good experience...

MRX Yes, MRX, you are right to say so! I fully agree with you concerning the enzymes! But I have also to disagree with you in the point concerning the tensides and the bleaching agents. If you go and ask dermatologists they tell you that they have the same problems with their patients if they...

Who's gonna save this beautiful twinny!???? http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290138831211&ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:DE:1

Mike! Yes, Mike, the machine first drains quite thorough, letting drip-dry the items before it starts spinning with a loud "clang!" I thought for long time that US-machines never spun faster than 500-750 rpm until I became a member here...! Rolls_Rapide, I never had any trouble with the...

Happy Birthday!! Happy Birthday to you my friend, Lawrence! Hope you feel better than ever? Always pleased to her from you! Big hug, Ralf

Hotpoint TL Automatic Hi, all there! Yes, I remember this machine in the house of my aunty's mother in Lymington near Southhampton/UK which was later replaced by the Modell 9403 after the other one was broken, two years before Mrs. Herrington died at the age of 96! I promised myself to get one...

AEG AEG, once Allgemeine Electricitäts-Gesellschaft Berlin, is no longer what it used to be! They closed the factory, kicked out the staff and now use the once famous name for their cheap built products as long as the reputation of this high quality product endures... Ralf

nuclear power dj-gabriele: you are sooo right!!! We pay millions of tax to substitute nuclear power of being competitive on the market!! And: nobody< on this planet has any idea where to store the nuclear waste! No thank-you!! Ralf

Temperatures... As I have already mentioned here a while ago, we do lots of coldwash as there's no hot water tap in the basement, for 2 years in our SpeedQueen TL with ARIEL Cold Active Powder meanwhile - and we do not have any problems! Ralf

Electricity cost in Leverkusen/Cologne We pay actually about 15,5 Euro-Cents which is almost 20,0 Dollar-Cents per kilowatt hour and they promised us to rise the price this year again! Ralf

Well done Keven!! Thank-you, I've learnt again something! Ralf

Yeah MRX - you named it! Would have taken me ages to write that in English...poohh!! Amylase comes from the word amylum which is Latin and means starch whereas Glycoidase comes from Greek and glycos means honey/sugar/sweet. -ase is the ending for the Greek word for destroying or breaking...

Well maybe that in American wash-powders there are higher concentrations of those enzymes...?? In Germany we have these in our detergents for about 10-15 years and I cannot find any difference in durability of textiles. For example: my mate uses to buy HOM and other high quality t-shirts, which...

There's that kind of enzyme (cellulase) in every modern washing powder (ARIEL, PERSIL, etc.) here - especially in detergents for coloured items/black washing and liquid detergents. They do not eat up the textiles as the concentration is too low to attack sound fibres. Only those tiny little bits...

I cannot understand why the modern TL from the US do not spin faster although they did once. My HOTPOINT TL from the UK does, namely 1050 rpm <br Ralf

same here on this side of the big pond.... and I guess as well as down-under or on the asian market... Ralf
