Hey all,   Does anyone have real world experience with GE's one and only 24" front load washer and matching vented dryer? GE® 24" 2.4 Cu. Ft. ENERGY STAR® Front Load Washer with Steam - GFW148SSMWW - GE Appliances   GE® 24" 4.3 Cu.Ft. Front Load Vented Electric Dryer with Stainless Steel...

I'm looking for some advice from the Miele washer experts here. My (now) 15 year old Miele W1930 washer has recently developed a water intake problem. When filling with cold water; for example, a cold/lukewarm wash or any rinse cycle, the "water intake problem" light will rapidly flash. Some...

I'm curious, has anyone who's a regular Kroger shopper tried these? The package indicates that they work as well as Cascade Platinum pacs, and I have tried them, and found that claim to be true! They do work very well, and they're $1.89 for 12 pacs, which is quite a bit cheaper than Cascade...

It's not for the masses @ $2,200.00; it's in rarefied Miele territory there. Someone ready to buy? It'll go great with a S-Z fridge and Wolf range setup! http://https//www.reviewed.com/dishwashers/content/sub-zero-wolf-cove-luxury-dishwasher-first-impressions-review

Another Miele PR piece, but fascinating nonetheless. I'd have many more Miele appliances in my home, if the US repair network weren't non-existent outside of NYC and LA. They're fabulous, 'til they break down, or hiccup. Then, you're sort of on your own repair-wise if you're in 40-48 US states...

Fascinating peek inside the magical place where Miele dishwashers and vacuum cleaners are manufactured. Yes, it's a Miele puff PR piece, but still interesting to watch. http://https//www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9g7ZDAt9dg

Now, before you just check out the headline and say, "Put down the crack pipe, Dave..." there is a REASON to my seeming madness. My 10 year old Miele finally breathed it's last, as far as I'm concerned. It appears that the water intake valve has died (a relatively common problem on Miele DW's of...

My Miele 898SCI Plus (vintage 2005) has recently begun exhibiting an unusual problem. At the end of any cycle, the bottom of the DW is clean and dry, as one would expect. When I open the door several hours later/next morning to unload, the bottom of the DW is full of clean water! So it's...

My Miele (G 898SCi Premiere Plus) has started doing something intermittently, that I hope is not a harbinger of doom for this 2005 model unit. Twice, in as many weeks, at the very end of a "normal" or "normal plus" cycle, I'll open the door to find a larger than usual quantity of water in the...

My 2005 Miele Premiere Plus is beginning to get a little long in the tooth, though it still works very well. The hinged filter assembly in the sump has broken it's plastic hinge twice, but still fits together and does the job, and last week the "blocked spray arm" sensor went awry, and won't...

I took delivery of a new, 2014 BMW i3 (plug-in electric car) this past week. It was a rather belated 50th birthday present to myself. It's an absolute BLAST to drive, and it's sold as strictly as a commuter or "city" car. The car features an all-electric range (depending on how it's driven) of...

Bought some new Miele Tabs today, and discovered that they've changed the packaging.  The 3 boxes are flatter and longer than the previous boxes, because the tabs are now stacked in a single layer, versus the double layer in packages of yore, and you get...wait for it......4 less tabs per box...

I purchased the 80 load box (7 lbs) of Tide HE (regular formula), and using the included green plastic measure, I mixed 4 (reasonably level) scoops of Tide to 1 scoop of TSPP in another container. Of course, I won't be using the green Tide scoop for measuring a laundry load of mixture. I use a...

As a day trip to LA while visiting friends in Palm Springs for the White Party, I spent an incredible afternoon at the Miele showroom while visiting Beverly Hills two weeks ago. I drug my husband and friend Patrick along with me, and while they were initially "what's the big deal about these...

Had a coupon for this product, and hadn't been getting outstanding results from Sears detergent+STPP with nasty white been-out-mowing-the-lawn ankle socks, even at 155F in the Miele. Tried one of these packets in the wash, and all I can say is "Wow!" It's HE approved, fragrance free, dye free...

The interior lamp for my Sharp R-430E microwave oven has died. Of course, the owner's manual says to take it to an authorized appliance repair center. This may wind up costing me half the price that I paid in 2002 when I purchased the beast ($129.00). Is this something I could do at home? I...

Bought a set of 3 24-count boxes from the Miele online store for $34.95. I have noticed that they no longer contain phosphates, and unlike the (yesteryear) Claro tabs in the blue box, are not scored in the middle for splitting in half. Still, short work with the kitchen shears gets them cut in...

The filter assembly in my 2005 Miele Premiere Plus has worn out. The small yellow flap in the bottom of the assembly which one opens to clean out the filter is hinged on one side by the thinnest of plastic hinges. It's finally worn out, and the next time I open the flap will, I know, be the...

A friend of mine needs to replace the discharge (drain) hose on his LG Tromm FL washer. Apparently, the hose is accessible from the bottom of the washer. The owner's manual says to call a technician to replace the hose. Is this something that a reasonably skilled D-I-Y'er can do? Any...
