A while ago, I considered the idea of replacing our range, only because it doesn't have a self cleaning oven and using Easy-Off isn't good for birds. (Or for me) Then I started salivating over the idea of replacing it with an induction range. Supposedly, they have all of the advantages of gas...

I looked all over the Internet looking for how to remove the dispenser drawer on my Huebsch/SQ Front Loader, but I couldn't find documentation anywhere on how to do this, it's not intuitive. So, hopefully Google will find this and someone else can read my directions. I had to remove the drawer...

Long story short, when I bought these machines, Whirlpool owned the "Speed Queen" trademark in Canada. Since Alliance couldn't that brand in Canada, they used the brand name, "Huebsch" instead, which nobody can really pronounce anyway. (It is pronounced "Hib-sch") So, it's been five years since...

This home exists in Avon, CT. I'm not even sure if this is even the right forum to place this post, so I apologize if it might be off topic. I just want to know, have many of you have seen this style of interior design in other homes you've visited? If so, what vintage was it from? I have...

Hey, I'm just kind of curious now.. Now that Alliance has switched to using plastic baffles in their newer Speed Queen front loaders, are there any manufacturers left who still sell front loaders which still have metal baffles integrated into the drum? One of the reasons why I bought my...

Found this on youtube... Not sure how many of you have watched it.. Not sure how geniune this is.. but note how the salesman slams Whirlpool and Maytag. Your thoughts? http://https//www.youtube.com/watch?v=lFBwnbxYbJ4

Hello everyone. Currently, we use a Roper Range, which is basically a rebranded Whirlpool contractors special. I'm considering replacing this range even though there's absolutely nothing wrong with it. The reason being is that it lacks a self-cleaning oven and the kitchen gets quite hot when...

This POD is an interesting ad involving a GE Versatronic Filter-Flo. This is my dream GE Filter-Flo, although the Dispense All would come in second. So, I know that GE did a bit of "Solid State" trickery to get these machines to run at different infinite speeds. How exactly did the...

I found a new RCA washing machine for sale here. I haven't seen RCA branded machines for a very long time. It's a portable fully auto machine with a tub capacity of about 1.0 cu.ft. I have no idea who actually makes it, but my guess is that it is probably some Chinese manufacturer. Anyway, two...

Hello everyone. Before I start this post, I want to mention that my mother lives on a farm and she draws her water from a well. She has a cistern with a float. A pump activates when the water in it gets too low. The problem is that her Kenmore toploader is from the late 1980's and she's intent...

I'd like to know a few things, just out of curiosity. I apologize if some of these questions sound stupid... When did Speed Queen abandon and GE abandon their Solid tub designs? As well, why was the Solid tub abandoned for the perforated tub? Why do some people still swear on solid tub...

As per the topic... What made Norge VHQ washers better than their standard lines? Was it just all marketing or did they really do something which made their machines stand out from the rest? Just was curious as a result of the last POD. Thanks.

Hello Everyone. I have a Huebsch (aka Speed Queen) dryer and was wondering.. In some of their commercial models, their stacked dryer doors have a Window in them. They look exactly the same otherwise. Are these dryer doors compatible with the on-premises models without a window? If so, What...

I would like to file a bug report. > What did I do? Donated to renew my membership when I had 4 upgraded days left. > What did I expect would happen? 365 upgraded days would be added to existing upgraded days, resulting in 369 upgraded days left. > What happened instead...

Hello everyone. I've been a bit of a coffee geek for a while and I thought that I should share this with you all.. This is an Izzo Alex Duetto I. It is a double boiler espresso machine. I take my coffee very seriously, I just recently picked up one of these. It's manufacture date is from 2008...

It makes me wonder now, posting on another thread.. Would it be possible to build a completely "Brand New" GE Filter-Flo machine using parts found through EBay, Appliance stores, etc, etc? Considering that GE hasn't built a new FF machine for nearly 20 years, it makes me curious now. I know...

It's a shame I can't cross post this under Imperial. So, I'm curious now.. What do you think makes for the best washing action for certain kinds of loads? It was mentioned by one forum member who said that Denim washes better in a conventional top-loading center post agitator machine than in...

I apologize if this doesn't belong here... The Craigslist Ad for my TOL GE set is at the bottom of this post. I think these are collectable machines, due to their rarity. I researched the pricing of other similar machines and this seems like a fair price for the set. They're 2004 vintage...

Hello everyone. I was curious... On occasion, my wife and I like to wash those "oddball" clothes that you can't wash with anything else due to strange or oddball washing requirements. (ie. Delicates with cold water wash) Or, there is one shirt with a stain on it that must be washed NOW or...

Hello everyone. On occasion, when I want a nice strong cappuccino, I use my Bialetti Mukka Express. The only issue I have with it is that it can be a pain to clean. I have a 1 cup glass model which does the trick nicely. Now, a friend of mine purchased a Tassimo. It makes good espresso but...
