Yes. Do I ever walk in the 5.5" area across the face of my washer and dryer? No. What you emphatically call a bad idea is a non-issue in certain circumstances. At a couple of hundred bucks a square foot, yes, wasted space *is* a bad idea. Ok, this is the point where i waste typing time as I try to reason with you and point out a few facts. Before you reply with your typically "Idiot", take a second a think about what I am I about to write. OK, so you already know you're an idiot. Next... Look at the laundry room pictured in the link. Also, imagine my laundry room where the washer door opens across a stack of coolers. In both cases, the space is not used nor will ever be used for anything, therefore there is no impact from the open washer door. It's still wasted space. Stack of coolers? You'll have to show a picture. Only an idiot couldn't picture a stack of coolers in the space between a washer and a sink. Get out your crayons and draw your own picture. Coolers? Ice chests? Refrigerators? Air conditioners? "Coolers" is ambiguous, dumb****. Idiot. Do you actually believe the crap you write? Oh wait, I almost forgot (not really) that you will never, ever admit you're wrong, so you keep changing the subject. Do a Google image search on "coolers". Tell me what the overwhelming majority of the images are. Actually, don't bother. Ignoring any further posts from you is going to be so much easier than trying to talk sense into you. If you actually think that I meant I have a stack of refrigerators or air conditioners next to my washing machine, you are more of an idiot than I already think you are. If you're stacking **** in front of your washing machine you really are a loser. Idiot. I said (twice) "between the washer and sink", not in front of the washer. You still haven't addressed the issue of the open door being a reliability issue. Never planned to and still don't. Of course not. You're only interested in arguing your stupid point. Idiot. Because I'm right, something you'll never admit. Let's see... The door is opened over an area of the floor that is never, ever used unless I need to grab a cooler, so there is no wasted floor space. Only an idiot would have trouble with that concept. So you don't have a laundry. You have a washing machine in your storage room. Got it. I should have guessed that you were trailer trash. Idiot. Go back and read where I stated which room the coolers are in. Oh, hey look, there's 4 sq ft of always usable space on top of my front loader, more space than the open door would waste even if it was wasting space, which, by the way, it isn't. I'm pretty sure you don't have 4 sq ft of always useable space on top of your top loader. Cabinets. It's better storage space than the floor. But go ahead and live like a slob. Idiot. Cabinets hanging on the wall don't preclude available space on top of the washer. I have both. You? You know what's wasted? The time spent trying to have an intelligent discussion with you. Only because the whole concept is foreign to you. Idiot. The whole concept of you being wrong is very familiar to me. |

Ed, speaking of detergent cups, what do you -- and others -- think of these little "pillows" -- presumably containing both detergent and film-removal (can't think of proper term) which are inserted in the detergent cup. They take the place of powdered detergent in its cup and liquid [whatsitcalled) in its reservoir. I got a box of them at Costco which is lasting a long time. They are somewhat more expensive, but very convenient and seem to be doing the job for me. Your opinion? HB For years, I've used Cascade gel and it works well. KitchenAid though, recommends using the Cascade pillows like you have, but they still recommend using a rinse aid in the dispenser. The samples worked well and I may switch once I use up what we have. I have to wonder though, it they want you to use them for superior cleaning or if there is some sort of financial arrangement. They also tell you to use Affresh once in a while to clean out the machine. So does Maytag washers now and it is made by Whirlpool. The instructions for our 1-1/2 year old Bosch DW specificaly indicated no pre-washing or rinsing. It will even removed all but the very worst burnt on residue on a baking dish. I don't remember offhand if they recomnmended a specific detergent or rinse agent, but I use the Cascade Complete pillows, along with Oxi-Clean Diswasher Booster in the rinse agent dispenser. Phoenix is known for particularly hard water, but we have absolutely spotless dishware and glasses, and even plastic ware. The turn-off about the Bosch was the "screen" rather than having a grinder. They get disgusting and it's one more thing to keep clean. DId you ever actually own a Bosch? My screen stays as clean and shiny as the day it was installed. I think I found a stray kernal of corn on it once, but nothing more. Nope. They got tossed out of the running because of the screen rather than having a grinder. Bad idea. We bought a kitchen full of Electrolux, instead. Much better all around. We were quite happy with them so will do it again - no changes. Having said that, I initially had my doubts about my choice of a Bosch for several reasons, as I had only previously owned dishwashers that had a soft wasate disposer and either a heating element in the bottom or forced air heating for the drying cycle. My doubts vanished after the first load. That's not the issue. The problem is having to clean the screen. Food *will* get trapped in it and it *does* have to be cleaned. That's its purpose. Once a month (or when I remember) I use a diswasher cleaner (haven't tried the Afresh brand yet), but I do use Afresh cleaner in our Maytag front load clothes washer. We've never had to use a "dishwasher cleaner". If it can't clean itself, how clean is it getting the dishes? The SS tank and racks of my Bosch would stay as clean even if I didn't use a dishwasher cleaner. However, the main function of the cleaner is to dissolve mineral buildup in the pump and interior plumbing parts of the machine. I probabaly wouldn't use a cleaner if I didn't live in an area where the water did have such a high mineral concentration. Not buying it but then your statement is irrelevant WRT HE clothes washers requiring cleaning. I would install a water softener if I could, but the configuration of my buildinhg doesn't allow for that. If I had a water softener, I would have no need for a "dishwasher cleaner". I'm glad I don't need one. We had one in our first house and it was nothing but a PITA. FWIW, for those folks who complain about mold or mildrew in their f/l clothes washers, their failure to leave the door open either betwen washing sessions, or at least until the areas around and within the seals are dry is usually the cause. No, we're not about to leave the door of a front-loader open. Top-loader, sure, but requiring that a front-loader be left open is nuts. If you do have a front-loader and you close the door immediately after finishing a load, leaving moisture in the tank and seal, you're just asking for trouble. Virtually every manufacturer recommends that the door be left open until everything is thoroughly dried. As to top-loading machines, for the most part they don't reuire it because there is no seal to the opening and moisture isn't trapped inside. Precisely the point. If the door has to be left open, it's a NO SALE. BTW, you're not correct WRT (HE, anyway) top-loaders. They also now have an issue with smell, for the same reasons. The recommendation is to leave them open, also. No real problem because they don't take any more floor space when open, aren't a tripping hazard, and aren't susceptible to damage. In any event, in my case it isn't a hardship to leave the door open as my laundry equipment is in a large walk-in pantry with no foot trafic and closed in by a door off my kitchen. It's wasted space in any floorplan. *BAD* idea. We'll be staying with top-loaders. Obviously, there is no possibility of actually discussing or explaining anything to you, since you apparently _always_ have to be right and haved the last word. You can go away at any time. You won't hurt my feelings. Bye! Good riddance. I'm going away from you as fast as I can. You are a total waste of space on this planet or any other. My last words... Good. Now go away. |

They sample the water and determine the contamination and adjust the cycle accordingly. Our KitchenAid does a fantastic job on the auto cycle. |
