Muscle up with Maytag

Advantages: Powerful Suction
Disadvantages: A bit on the heavy side

...Maytag U5288 Our very basic Hover model had given up the ghost and retired to that vacuum haven that all old and out of suck vacuum?s go to. It?s poor lung?s were so full of dust and sand that one morning when I plugged her in, she just made a wheezing, whirring, coughing noise and died right there in front of my eyes. Now over the grief, we realised that a replacement was badly in need and off to our local Carrefour store we went to see what we could find. The selection was rather limited with most being the cylinder type. I can tell you I just don?t like these models, not sure why but they give me the feeling that you should be going WALKIES with them and not hovering a home. Anyway I had the choice of 2 uprights, first being another rather basic Hoover model and I couldn?t bring myself to kill another one as I knew it just wasn...

Maytag Stainless Steel dishwasher

Advantages: Quiet, large inside, easy to clean
Disadvantages: Intermittant fault that doesn't seem to be fixable, expensive

...I have had the Maytag for nearly two years now. I bought it to match with new appliances in my refitted kitchen. The machine holds a lot, more than our previous model. It was so quiet that when we first used it we didn't think it was working! It is easy to use, with lots of programmes. It has a low salt and low rinse aid indicator. It has an economy programme as well as all the usual programmes that you would expect for a top of the range dishwasher. About a year ago it suddenly started tripping the electric off and we needed to get an engineer. I bought the machine on line and I looked up Maytag and phoned them, they then arranged for a firm of engineers to send someone round. The engineer arrived, tried the dishwasher but it was fine, so said he couldn't do anything but let Maytag know if it happened again. He noticed...

Need help in choosing a Refrigerator?

Advantages: Plasma Cluster features
Disadvantages: Not really energy saving

...A few months ago, I am hunting for a refrigerator, as I am about to move into my new house. It takes me 2 months to size up all the refrigerators available in the market. As you may find out later that all the features you want, could not be found in one refrigerator alone and that is frustrating! The wide range of styles, colours, and with a variety of features that refrigerators have, overwhelms me. All refrigerators seem to have their own attractiveness. Finally, I found this Sharp SJ-63L refrigerator that meets most of my needs. What it attracted me most, is its Plasma Cluster feature. This feature deactivates airborne mould spores and removes odours and bacteria from the interior of the refrigerator. It is also non CFC. Previously, I am not aware of the existence of this feature in refrigerator, as I am only aware...

Refrigerator Biscuits

Advantages: You can cut and cook the biscuits as you need them.
Disadvantages: none

...to form an evenly shaped roll. Leave in the refrigerator overnight or until you want to use it. Slice off as many biscuits needed in 1/4 inch/6mm thick slices. Place the biscuits on a lightly greased baking tray and bake in a moderately hot oven (350f /180 c gas mark 4) for 10-15 minutes or until pale gold in colour. Remove the biscuits from the baking tray and cool on a wire rack. How easy is that, and they taste good....

Saga of a Modern Luddite - Conversion Imminent

Advantages: Efficient, gentle on clothes, lots of cycle options, attractive
Disadvantages: Expensive

...unless I had strong feelings to the contrary, he intended to purchase a new Maytag Neptune washer AND dryer within the half hour. Well, quite naturally, I was taken aback. As the woman of the house, I felt that I should have at least some say in this process. "Hold on," I replied. "At least give me a chance to have a look!" That meant waiting until the weekend, of course. Meanwhile, I was strongly lobbied on behalf of the Maytag Neptune: ~ It was very efficient, he said. It would save on water and electricity. That sounded good to me. No issue there. . . . ~ He liked the front-loading approach. I wasn't so sure: I liked my old top loader. I preferred looking and reaching down into the tub in lieu of stooping in front of my appliance. ~ He liked the stainless steel tub. Frankly, I didn't care whether or not it had...

Review of Maytag Neptune

From Death to New life.

Advantages: Simple
Disadvantages: Expensive

..., a large capacity, big enough to take a king size doona, one that is easy on the electricity and water, and I might consider a front loader. Something like a washer in a laundromat. Any Hoover? No! His recommendation was either the Maytag and another brand because he didn't see them often getting repaired. And he would consider one of those when his Hoover died. He forewarned me though, the Maytag would be more expensive than the other brand. Also I would have to look around as not many shops sold the bigger MAYTAG Models.There is a smaller MAYTAG very similar to most other machines you see in salesrooms. They are painted metal not baked enamel. Well......! I was on a mission. I set off on the shopping expedition having rung around beforehand, to see who stocked the brand names I wanted to look at. I entered a well known...

My Experience Of Refrigeration

Advantages: I forgot to say it's pretty and comes in a choice of colours.
Disadvantages: Um... I'm no good with little boxes. I like to waffle. Sorry!

...KTR 1670, our fridge, is a larder fridge: that means it doesn't have an icebox. It doesn't need an icebox because it sits comfortably in our kitchen next to its partner in cooling GSL 1202, our freezer. No icebox, see? It's next to the freezer. So, if you haven't a freezer, or your freezer is in the garage or something as they sometimes are, and you need a handy icebox in your fridge, then KTR 1670 isn't for you. You can stop reading now (and say phew). However, if a handy icebox doesn't figure on your list of refrigeration priorities then read on (and say darn). KTR 1670 is a super fridge, made by company-with-the- reasonably-posh-reputation, Bosch, and it comes with lots of handy little cooling gadgets I think you should know about. And anyway, it's my fridge, and I like it. So there. So, let me start. Dimensions. There's a thing...

  Holiday Inn a Refrigerator

Advantages: Reasonably priced, well appointed hotel. Convenient Location
Disadvantages: Poor staff communication and complaint handling

...of pillows were available from housekeeping. This is a nice touch as the right pillow can make the difference between a night?s sleep and a good night?s sleep. There is no air-conditioning in the rooms, just a single long radiator under the window with a temperature control knob from 1-5. The windows were capable of being opened but only slightly due to safety considerations. Having spent a rather cold first night in the room, the following morning we requested that the radiator be fixed or we be moved to another room. After a long day out and upon our arrival back at the hotel we were told that the heating had been fixed so we hadn?t been moved. Uh huh? Entering the room was like walking into a refrigerator. Back to reception. The first room we were offered was a single! Yes, it did have a double bed but I can confirm that...

Silent state of the art and great looker

Advantages: Looks cool, works great, cleans brilliantly
Disadvantages: Cost, but you get what you pay for.

...I have had this machine now for 3 months now and can honestly say, no regrets. The machine is beautiful, with the state of the art digital selection system that is not only very easy to use but allows for great flexibility. The 2000 rpm really dries clothes that shits dry off the rack in my London flat within half hour. On average, I only use 1600 to 1800 rmp for drying. Also, the delay wash feature - you actually select the time for the machine to start and it shows when the washing cycle will end. So you can time it to come on so that your clothes will be washed by the time you get up. Wasing options, well there can sometimes be too many of these - and the Maytag is no different. I like the hand wash cycle - its just so gentle and you can control the temperatures too. Best of all, its SILENT - even at 2000 rpm spin dry...
