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...

Miele launched their entry line machines with their sealed, plastic tubs a few years ago. These models used to be the Wxx0xx models, all 7kg. Now Miele launched the 125th anniversary special models for washers. They are labelled with "8kg" and SteamCare - which used to label only machines with...

This box has been sitting on my partner's machine for weeks and I just noticed that something is really wrong about the design. The print reads "Washing machine hygiene cleaner", but that ain't no washing machine drum, is it?
