    New Bosch 800 series has adjutable zones

    Bosch updated their website for dishwashers I’ve noticed they simplified the control panel. There doesn’t seem to be as many options- but I see that most of those have been integrated with their new power control wash. It reminds me of my first Bosch from 2011. Only had like 4 buttons- at first...

    Kitchenaid KDPM604KPS0 autopsy

    I’m so sorry you are dealing with this! I purchased my Bosch November 2020. The KA had just come out with their new line up. Almost purchased the 704 and really loved the third rack design. I went with my gut and went with the 878 Bosch with extra scrub. I’ll be honest, I don’t use it as much...

    DCS/fisher paykel dishwasher issue

    I have a friend of mine who is having issues with their DCS dish drawer. They start it, blue light turns on. drain pump starts and then it stops. Red light turns on. They said it will only work if they pre fill the dishwasher with hot hot water before starting the dishwasher. Sometimes it takes...

    HE Toploader Water Usage

    I’m going to go with 38 gallons. If I remember right. The rinses are more to help get the dirt out. I personally think the Neptune TL is the best high efficiency top loader out there. They cleaned really well, especially on big loads. It’s the best washer for comforters as well. The...

    Death of the W4842

    I’ve had this washer for 2 years now. Washed tons of towels in it and has been a good run. (Probably did 7 loads a week) I did buy another dispenser but it broke in two washes. I’m not sure if it’s a software thing or if that second dispenser I bought used was already on its last leg. I...

    LG 6700 AI 2.0

    I got to see this new LG washer in person today, they even had it plugged in. My initial thoughts were, having a screen in the middle and not having all the labels right on the washer- I would feel lost or wouldn’t know how to navigate though it all. This in comparison to whirlpool, was very...

    Miele w4840 series

    And two loads later.. Same problem, leaking just like the old one did and activating the flood proof system. Do you guys think this is a software issue? Or I just happen to buy another used dispenser that was on its last leg?

    Miele w4840 series

    I finally fixed it! After a year and a half, I finally found a dispenser for a decent price. In the mean time i had bypassed the dispenser water path to the spray nozzle. Initially I was concerned for the spider corrosion and didn’t want to spend money on the machine. It never saw cold water...

    Maytag Pet Pro Washer & Dryer

    A good friend of mine just sold his house in town left his GE front load set and bought his late grandmothers house. It’s a 2015 speed queen and he says it washes out all pet hair like crazy! He said, he upgraded big time! I agree, it’s a joke with all their marketing.

    Opinions: most irritating-sounding washer ever?

    Ha, this is fun GE hyrdrowaves did sound pretty bad, all the creaking and the pump was so loud! My MIL had one and hated the sounds of it. Whirlpool in general is annoying. The calypso and early duets were actually decent and quiet. Out of the whirlpool family, kitchen Aid were the best...

    I have a Bosch 800 series. I bought it in December of 2020 Yes, I have noticed too, when I open the dishwasher mid cycle. There is a lot of foam. I have read on here, some people think foam is hard on the dishwashers.
