Had a wander through Menard's Tuesday (we don't have them convenient in Detroit) and was intrigued to see their appliance selection (last time I was in one 10 years ago don't think they had appliances). They seemed to have Kitchenaid as their best line, with also a full selection of Whirlpool...

To close up---the Bosch I saw for $375 seemed to have some shipping damage (the back of the tub (stainless) would oilcan against the plastic base). The other one interesting was an Asko for $575 but was stainless steel door---end of the story is we ended up just getting another 100 series new...

Can you tell me more about replacing the door? Honestly that's the only thing keeping me from grabbing that 2022 Ascenta at the scratch/dent place...our work triangle in the kitchen is small, the cabinets and stove are white/white glass and I fear that a black d/w panel will just darken...

Intrigued that they used Ann Page catsup...guess the A&P was the nearby supermarket at the time.

They were kind of parallel-pathing things through the 50s...for a long time there were auto defrost refrigerators (with coils or plates or panels) or cold-wall designs which operated without fans with frosting freezers. There was never a really satisfactory way to self-defrost the freezers...

There's a fun pastry place up in Birmingham which you might want to check out....Paris Cafe or some such name.

Nope---believe that it is only in the highest level (Masterpiece?) . Not to confuse matters, but popped into the local high-end showroom which I recalled having some floor models around....they definitely do---found a new in crate 2022 300 series Ascenta (i.e plastic bottom) for $375...only...

From my experience with both the low-end Bosch here (condensation dry, 2 racks, plastic bottom) and the 800 series out in Palm Springs (Crystal Dry, 3 racks, full stainless) I find: --easier to find dishwashers now than in the middle of COVID. Had to settle for higher-end than I necessarily...

Pshaw. Bad week with the dishwasher down and both cars laid up....anyway. Have had a 100 series (plastic bottom) Bosch 2 rack for the last 12 or so years in Detroit. Been quite happy with it. White front control....cheap and cheerful Returned from vacation to an E01 error. This tracks...

Apparently New Zealand was not quite so anti- the Opel built Commodore. That said, with GM selling off Opel to Stellantis during this period it would have not really mattered---there wasn't much future for RHD GM vehicles unless Australia/NZ went gaga for them. We have a Buick Regal TourX...

Fascinating! I was at GM in the US during the death throes of Holden----wanted a Chevrolet SS but never could quiiiiite pull the trigger. We tried to launch OnStar down there (as part of their Holden v2 import-only strategy--trying to show technological leadership) but the failure of the...

I bought one of these world washers (hecho en Mexico) in about 1996 for $247 floor model as I recall as it needed to go into an unheated garage utility room in Chicago. I figured that a developing-world washer would have slightly better temperature tolerance (being frozen) than a US model...

Buy a cheap VMW and a used Whirlpool family dryer (if it's anything more than a vent problem) and bank the $$$

That's a cool piece. Imagine not too many were made.

What is a Bastile soap? Have heard that a good source of tallow for soapmaking is cheap shortening (Crisco-like) which is the meat fat/vegetable blend. Nice and refined and odor-free

From this far away, that is probably -not- a Westinghouse Westinghouse and is more a White-Westinghouse. You might also look for Gibson, Kelvinator or even Philco instruction manuals. The thin cooktop with the self-clean lever is the tell.

Given the location may well have been an employee store special...

No matter what, you may want to check that model number for the Maytag recall.

Was looking at 1971 local newspaper and saw it advertised by a discount drug store-----just looked it up to see what was and it turned out to be....a thing!
