As one one of the few who still uses a portable full-size dishwasher that get's parked in front of the sink, I appreciate a machine that finishes in a reasonable amount of time.  My 18 year old Maytag Jetclean portable runs for 51 minutes on 'light wash' and does a fine job.  I dread the day...

Of course there will be loads that are a bit much for 'medium', yet a bit light for 'normal'.     As I see it, the main design flaw on these machines is that, with the lid switch operating, the owner can't learn to load the machine because they can't see what it's doing.   I wish you the...

A Maytag does not need to be underloaded, it needs to be properly loaded.  That said, the machine in casciomichael's video appears to be a bit underloaded.  A full load that turns over slowly will get cleanest. [this post was last edited: 4/12/2021-06:03]

I'll take #11 please, in white.

Wow, he can stop by here any time!

I use chlorine bleach for two wash loads, white underwear, and kitchen rags.  For the underwear load, I add 1/2 a cup to 18 gallons of water, and the elastic on my Hanes briefs lasts for years.  For the kitchen rag load I use 1/2 cup of bleach to 8 gallons for kitchen safety.   Bath towels...

If I wash a large 40 gallon load in my Maytag with it set to warm, it uses about 9 gallons of hot water.  Figuring that it costs about 2¢ a gallon to heat hot water, my cost is 18¢

Those appear to be Dickies work pants.  I know for a fact that my Maytag long-stroke A606 will wash 7 of them without breaking a sweat.   That agitator was designed the that machine.  You will not improve the machine's all-around performance by replacing it with anything else.   I'm very...

My goodness, there's more wires in that thing than you could shake a stick at!

We had a Vornado that looked very similar to the Handy Hannah.    

I'm curious what CR's #1 top loader is.

Here in New Jersey, leaf blowers are banned in some areas due to noise, and the fact that the dirt and refuse often gets blown to the middle of the road, only to end up in someone else's yard.

I thought the reason California was doing away with gas appliances was due to the danger of earthquakes breaking the pipes.

Perhaps the pork came from Anne's side of the family. :-)

There was a block of Gold Medallion all electric houses in the town I grew up in.  By the 1970s, they all had gas lines run to them due to the high cost electric heat.

Regina changed hands a few times, but the name still exists. https://reginavacuum.com/

My partner uses half Crisco and half butter.  He cuts the cold butter in with a pastry cutter, leaving small chunks of butter in the dough.  The dough must stay cold, and it's a good idea to pre-chill the mixing bowl.  The Crisco makes it flakey, and the butter adds flavor.   Pie crust is...

Looks very nice.  This machine is going to be a honey!

I've been running a 1972 Maytag A606 long-stroke high capacity machine, with the stock pulley, for 16 years.  I have the lid switch by-passed for two reasons, I want to see what's going on, and I like to add bleach while it's agitating.   I find that the clothes get cleaner when the machine...

It was a long time ago, but I don't remember a large hot load in the GE Filter Flo being a problem, just when someone took a super long shower.   When hot water was called for, the oil burner would cycle on and off to maintain hot water.  If this happened long enough to make steam in the large...
