Blond-ish question Did the Westies have hidden dispensers somewhere or did the user have to open the door and risk a small flood to add bleach or softener?

Tuttle & Kiff? Please elaborate.

Marvelous! Just marvelous. Aferim!

No enzymes; pro or con From previous discussions on this subject in this forum I've been looking around for effective detergents without enzymes in the formula. It has been said that enzymes might be responsible for skin irritation from residue. I have used Ariel detergents from many different...

Hear, hear!! And furthermore... Dishwasher racks should go back to being blue! (or pink, or orange, or turquoise {I'm getting tired of monochromatic dishwashers[ I think we have Miele and Asko to thank for that]}).   Here's my idea of appliance beauty:

Aferim! Congratulations on the machine and thank you for the great pictures. I peeled the fake wood-grain plastic off of my KA 17-A too. I wondered if it was the same stuff they used to line drawers. Not only does it look great but the wood-grain  dated the machines.   IMO the 17-A series was...

Merde

New Fangled Brazilian Top loader?? Looks like we have an Antipodean rip-off of the old, doomed Hotpoint Duo-Load.   I want it.

Aferim! Use and enjoy your new machine in good health. One piece of advice: set the Silverware basket that came with the machine aside and use a conventionally designed GE silverware basket that has an open weave mesh on all sides. Silver Shower or not, you'll get better cleaning results for...

IMO one of the best I agree with Tom about the buttons on the edges instead of the backspash where they belong for lots of reasons.   Eventually this stove evolved into the J757, which was one of the best electric stoves ever made at that time. It was the same stove as the Americana without...

Thanks for posting this Neat top loaders and I would love to be able to buy and ship that Whirlpool built-in; I always wanted a top-rack like that which has vessels in extreme lean position plus the wonderful silverware basket mounted on the inside of the door.

Does anybody make an old-style Dishwasher Detergent that has Lye, phosphates and other non-enzyme surfactants in the mix?

Thanks for posting this Phil! ...and I'm going for this one!   It would be great if it were one of the first series with the two pumps and the weird detergent dispenser, but I'd like another working WP-600 just the same.   I'm going to try to read the serial number on the rating plate to...

Chambers, another great, extinct American Brand I live near the Thimble Islands on the Connecticut shoreline. One of these islands that is now owned by the State Parks department has a house on it that was built by a Yale architect in the very early Sixties. The kitchen had the same Chambers...

Yes! Totally agree with Bob and it's yet another reason I'd like to add some Rollermatics to my collection.   I thought about this a while back; with a Solid Tub (no or little outer tub water) and a Rapid-Dry spin the only thing missing would be an internal water heater which I would fake...

From what I've read The whole "Lint-Away" chazerei was just as you said, a marketing ploy to compete with Filter-Flo and the Ken - pools with built-in lint filtration.    When we had a 1958 Unimatic, I switched the yellow ring with the bigger Circus-Peanut colored ring to see if it improved...

i'm on board If there's a Medical term for someone with a fetish for weird dishwashers with crazy colors...I have that.

Off of Pinterest I'd love to have  a whole room for Laundry with a huge ironing table for sheets. Some of my favorite vintage machines: <ul> <li>      GE 1250 A pair (has anyone EVER done that kind of flush installation with the bath-tub valves?)</li> <li>      Whirlpool MarkIII pair for...

They are indeed wonderful machines I've used these machines my entire career as a chef; we refer to them in the business as "undercounter machines" or "Bar machines". They're more about sanitizing than about deep cleaning. Some of them, like the one you posted are High-Temp machines, Low-Temp...

If only... I have a retro Pink American Standard bathroom that I want to keep with some revisions. If a Genie of the Lamp gave me three wishes, one of them might be for these:
