Every so often, I browse apartments online to see what’s out there. I came across this particular unit, and it had something in the kitchen. I’ve never seen before. I’m not sure if this is an additional oven? An old-school microwave? Something completely different? Just curious as to what it is...

So, a number of years ago when I was living in another apartment building in another town, a neighbor of mine had a side-by-side refrigerator. I remember that it wasn't terribly big (it couldn't have been, with the space allotted for appliances in those kitchens) - maybe 28 inches? And it was a...

Stumbled across this while looking up another program on the University of Georgia Library's website. Check out 3:08 - 8:56. What I wouldn't give to have a set like this for that price! https://kaltura.uga.edu/media/t/1_zk0v754d

Ok - I'm coming to the experts on this one. At one point a few years back, Tide had a "10X Heavy Duty liquid" formula. If I recall correctly, it was not on the market for that long. Yet, there still seems to be info about it online, and some of the marketing/advertising claims seem similar to...

Ok...I'm hoping you can give me some advice here. About two years ago, I purchased an older (1995) Whirlpool portable dishwasher off of Facebook Marketplace. Model # is DP840CWDB2, serial FE2801357. And up until now, it has worked flawlessly. In mid-May, I ran it on its usual cycle. After it...

After much hemming and hawing, Mrs. Volvoman and I bit the bullet and purchased “Ariel Multi”. Here are our initial impressions so far… 1: This is a big box. According to Procter & Gamble website, it should be able to provide us with 95 loads of laundry. 2: In typical P&G fashion, the...

To build off an earlier thread about P&G’s commercial/professional line, the Mrs. and I decided to splurge and get a bottle of “Downy Professional”…and boy, are we surprised! First, this does not smell anything like the sweet, sickly scents that P&G sells at your local supermarket. Rather, the...

Came across two vintage portable dishwashers while researching for a friend of mine. Figured I'd post these here, in case anyone from the East Coast is interested. Not sure if either of these are decent machines, but they both look to be in decent shape (apparently, one of which was never...

So, now that Mrs. Volvoman and I have this “fancy” HE-front load washer, we decided to find fancy HE detergent to use in it. In our online search, we came across a pair of imported P&G offerings: Tide Matic for front loaders, and Ariel Matic for front loaders. Purchased both to try. According...

Greetings! On Friday, my wife and I were issued a new LG 3400CW washing machine by our leasing company, along with the matching dryer. So far, we love them - especially in comparison to the horrid little GE Spacemakers that we had prior. We spent the entire weekend throwing whatever we could...

Happy 2024, AW friends. I've got an unusual question for you. In 2021, our stackable Kenmore front-loader finally bit the bullet. It was a shame, as it was one of the last "decent" machines out there (see photos of identical machine set for reference). As we needed a new washer, we contacted...

Howdy all - Came across a detergent at my favorite Polish market called “E”. Looks as though it’s made by Henkel. I guess I’ll throw this question to the detergent experts. Why is the name simply “E”? And how is it in comparison to Persil powder? Just purchased a 77 wash load box of it. I’m...

As I was running our dishwasher (and washing machine) today, I got to thinking... What companies make private-label detergent pods? I know that Huish/Sun/Henkel had the monopoly on private-label products, at least when it came to laundry detergents. However, I recently purchased laundry...

So, here’s one. We have an old Oster blender (in a lovely shade of avocado green). And we love it. It’s a beast. But we’re curious as to how old it is. I tried calling Oster, but they were of no help. I don’t see a serial number, but I do show a service number of 869-15H. Anything specific...

G’day! While unloading my dishwasher, I noticed what appeared to be food residue and standing water. Is this normal? And if not, how do I fix this? I’m definitely not handy, so I’d like to know what’s involved…

...start to smell so nauseating? I ask, because a couple of months ago, I ran out of my wonderful Miele fabric softener. I live near the corporate center, and they did not have any in stock. They did, however, have these Keurig cup-looking things of softener - and the Mrs. and I really liked...

I have no idea how old this is, but it is a Whirlpool portable dishwasher. I believe it is one of the larger ones. Definitely not a beauty queen, but it is in decent shape. Total price was 90 bucks. The guy said that it ran, and washed great. Unfortunately, I need to run to Home Depot for an...

Curious about something... Every so often, I see a post here and there about Aldi UK's "Almat" detergent, and that it's supposed to be pretty good, with a great scent. I know that there are various websites out there, where one can buy British and German goods, and have them shipped to the...

Out of curiosity, does anyone remember Dash detergent in a box like this? I remember the red box with the waves, and the yellow box for "Lemon Fresh'...but I've never seen this. Is it bootleg? Canadian? https://www.ebay.com/itm/265571578168?hash=item3dd54cb138:g:A40AAOSwXWhiHNrJ

So, I've got a strange question... I know that the German Persil formula is probably different than what is sold here in the states. With that said, is there any difference between the Green and Blue Persil from Germany? Do they have different fragrances? Do they clean differently from one...
