Have not had the motivation or luck to look for much in advance, so just relied on press releases so far. Official start is Friday, with most press events scheduled for tomorrow. Miele has quietly changed their DW lineup. Even the cheapest model is now class A efficiency with upper end models...

Just came across this, only a few days old. Some rather current Hisense dryers have an issue with the wiring to the compressor potentially overheating. Thus, this recall. I doubt many on here have such a model - but better safe than sorry. This goes to the recall pdf from the Hisense UK website.

As I always say: SQ is not the be all and end all. If THAT is their service in a rural area, and they don't do the simple things that ANY service department should (like, have basically all small parts - boards, sensors, belts, switches etc. - on hand with every service tech), there's no wonder...

As of today, you are allowed to display the new label. There is a 14 day period for everybody to switch over the displays, so it'll take a few days for it to show up everywhere. Only exception is for the edge case that the manufacturer of an appliance has gone out of business and can't re-supply...

First post on the new interface - hope this looks ok in the end... Every few years I go on holiday with my mum. We usually rent out a flat in a costal town on the north sea coast where my family has been going since basically the dawn of time. I would lie if I didn't say I was drawn to this...

Out of the blue, this just showed up, ready to be shipped: https://www.lg.com/de/waeschepflege/trockner/rt18vt/ Now, it's actually kind of impressive. In the Eco rating cycle, the usage is pretty much linear. It's rated at 18kg (close to 40lbs!) so 9kg is a half load. At half load, it's pretty...

Saw some earlier this year - but now there's just a bunch that's really weird. When Whirlpool aquired Indesit/Hotpoint, they hybridizing was pretty straight forward - laundry mostly Hotpoint, with some Whirlpool holdovers (like the dryer drums). We have examples where a manufacturer churns out...

I guess this is one of these once in a lifetime purchases. Bought it in a WMF Outlet Store and got another 20% on top. Went with the 6,5l/7qt model - you only have a minimal fill quantity of like a cup or 2 and can "only" use 2/3rds - so rather bigger than too small. Have to say - these things...

At my partners place, we used to have a (pretty old) AEG T59800. It's pretty damn good as dryer - just old, noisy and not that efficient anymore. It's still running, but I shuffled some money around and bought something new. The T59800 is going to a friend of ours. So, a few weeks ago, we had...

So, that guy bought one of those. Was always curious - would be great for soups, stocks, sauces and herbs. But 3000$ really makes it not worth it...

I'll start out with saying some stuff straight out: - This car is WAY to expensive, and so is basically any electric car currently on the market to actually recommend. - This car is way to big for what I actually need, but if you want certain criteria to be met with EVs, you just gotta go big. -...

I tend to make bolognese in bulk, and so I did for my partner. It's really nice to just heat it up, boil some pasta and have a really nice quick meal. I usually freeze it, but my partners freezer really was to full to do that, but we already bought the stuff to make the bolognese. So I read...

I usually am pretty early on this yearly tradition post, but I wasn't abled to find much this year - until now. I'll make thise general post and the make responses for each manufacturer as I get to it. I thought this year was going to be boring, but it sure as hell isn't!

We recently had a whole slew of stuff arriving damaged around here and the things just get worse. Haven't seen such bad transport damage in ages, so I thought I'd post it even though this isn't a usual topic around here. My partner lives in a basically completely uninsulated house. He's the...

A few things I don't agree with, overall though, pretty good!

I stumbled across this specific dryer months ago. It appeared, then disappeared, then reappeared several times. (This a link to a similar UK unit.) https://www.aeg.co.uk/laundry/laundry/tumble-dryers/heat-pump-tumble-dryer/tr719a4b/ It's not majorly different - it appears to use the same...

I just had the thought to google once more when the new EU labels for dryers will become necessary, and the regulations have been released a few months back as I found out. Of course I did my typical back of the napkin math to see where we are and where we need to go. Some side notes: Same...

My partners AEG washer dryer combo died yesterday. Very bad timing financially for him due to some stuff around the flat having been done recently. It didn't do anything so I hopped in the service cycle and got the dreaded E5E error. That basically means the motor control board does not...

With energy prices - and my partners washer being a combo - I was desperately missing a way to quickly and efficiently dry laundry at his place. We had to drive a bit anyway to pick up some birds (my partner keeps a few singing birds) and this was on sale not to far from that place. Got it for...

Okay, they call it "UltraReverse" now. But still: The only home dryer with seperate fan motor on the market right now. That's triple inverter technology: drum motor, process air fan and compressor. I am SO close to selling my VZug dryer...
