    Liquidating My Collection...

        Hello to all!   Sadly it has come time to for me pass on the machines in my collection for others to enjoy.  The reason is I am retiring (I still can't believe it!) at the end of THIS month, then approximately 6 months later, I will be selling the house and moving.  Unfortunately I...

    After driving the same car for 16 years, I bought a new one!

    So… after driving my SUPER exciting Camry hybrid (yawn!) the last 16 years, I decided it was time to get something new and a bit more fun to drive. I was kinda seriously considering going EV (Ford Mustang Mach-E GT) and I probably would have been relatively happy, but then another car came on...

    Dishwasher Question: The Peanut Butter test...

    Another member and I are talking about both running “the peanut butter test” (peanut butter smeared in 3-5 glasses) in our dishwashers on the same day, then comparing the results. He has a newer Bosch (and a KDS17), I have a 4 year old Miele. My questions are: 1. What cycle would you suggest...

    Found an ASKO “Superior” washer & dryer and couldn’t beat the price!

    A friend picked these up for me a week ago and I brought them home yesterday, the best part is they only cost the gas to go pick them up, as they were free! I know they are older, but how old are they? After fiddling around with the controls on the washer for a while, I was able to eventually...

    Questions about bath towels....

    1. How do you keep them as soft and fluffy as when new? 2. Does using liquid fabric softener effect their ability to absorb water? (Many years ago I heard it did) 3. How many years do you use your towels before replacing them? 4. Wash in warm or always in hot, or HOT!...? Thanks in...

    Last Saturday I brought home Miele triplets!

    But not just any Miele’s...... these are 7 year old (2013), TOL “Professional” W6065 Plus (Little Giant?) washers! I picked them up in Hollywood Saturday morning. They came out of the home of an extremely wealthy family who apparently owns A LOT of property on and around Sunset Boulevard in...

    Residential Steam Ovens part 2: Miele Combi Steam Oven

    I came across a really great deal on a 5 year old Miele combi steam oven that I couldn’t pass up. It had been a display / demo in an appliance store. Fortunately I didn’t need to completely remodel my kitchen to install it. I just removed my mid-80’s, P.O.S. 24” Modern Maid gas wall oven...

    Residential Steam Ovens: What are your thoughts and/or experiences?

        I learned about them 20 or more(?) years ago, but never paid much attention because the cost was so astronomical, I always figured they were for the super wealthy who had nothing better to spend their money on when doing a high dollar kitchen remodel.   Not that they are any more...

    Garbage disposals, do you clean yours, if so how?

    They can get smelly from time to time, what do you do about it? Do you clean yours on any regular schedule, do you wait until you notice odors emanating from it, or do you do nothing? The few times I’ve attempted to clean my garbage disposal, I would either put a tiny amount of water and A...

    Power requirements for vintage washers and dryers?

        Should an older (50's/60's/70's) washing machine have a 15 or 20 amp circuit?   What about a vintage 240V dryer?    The plan is to run new circuits for a <span style="font-size: 12pt;">1955 Frigidaire Unimatic washer & Filtrator dryer, a</span> 1969 Lady Kenmore Combo (240V) and a number...

    AW log out timing on mobile phones, iPads, etc.

    Just a general question about this. I log into the site in my iPad at home (more often then my computer) and increasingly on my phone at work. The thing i’ve noticed is the time duration before I have to login again seems to be completely random. Sometimes after logging in if I am not on the...

    Question for the Calypso experts

        Thomas and I picked up this Kenmore Calypso for Thomas yesterday (cheap) and in spite of the sellers description, it seems to do everything it's supposed to.... so far.   This afternoon while tinkering with it, I noticed there is a gap between the wash plate seal and the tub.  It's not...

    I added a nearly new Electrolux 24" washer to the mix!

        I picked this little 24" washer up yesterday morning for the bargain price of $130!    The seller said they bought a year ago, then moved to an apartment (it's been in storage since).  Now they will be moving to Las Vegas in 3 months and don't want to take this washer with them.  So this...

    First acquisition of 2020: A newer Miele washer!

        A week ago my hubby found this machine listed on FB marketplace and forwarded it to me.  In the ad the seller stated "Only asking $60 because I think some of the cycles aren't functioning properly."     When messaging with the seller he said: "it doesn't work properly, it doesn't get my...

    Question: Miele 4800 series washer (& dryer) for American market, what’s the good, bad & ugly?

    I’m thinking about suggesting one of these large capacity washers and matching dryer to some friends. I have a handful of the smaller “Euro size” Miele’s and know those are very solid. I think I remember hearing this 4800 series and the companion dryers had some issues, but I don’t remember...

    Request for my first Bob Load certification

    I humbly submit my application with Photos as evidence. 😁 At least on the lower rack anyway? No before photos, only after, sorry! I think the 3rd rack is a little “too neat” for a “Bob Load” but what the heck. Kevin (Edit: it’s interesting that the photos posted in a different orientation...
