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...

Review of Maytag MSE760FAKS

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...

Environmentally Friendly Dishwasher tablets

Advantages: Works as well as leading brands, cheaper
Disadvantages: None that I can think of

...~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sainsbury's Cleanhome ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sainsbury's have brought out a new range of products that deliver great cleaning performance but are also kinder to the environment. I'm a bit of a spend thrift so was looking through the Sainsbury's aisles for some cheap dishwasher tablets. I had run out and didn't want to buy a lot of tablets until I was able to go and buy some tablets at wholesale prices. I noticed this at the top of the shelf because it was on offer. 25 tablets for £1.99, saving a 1/3 off the normal price. At 8p a tablet, how could I resist? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Packaging & the tablets ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The contents come in a cardboard box. Indeed a box that looks like it has already been recycled. The box itself is blue with an outline of a house in what looks like grass...

Review of Sainsbury's Cleanhome Dishwasher Tablets Citrus

Asda 5 in 1 Citrus Dishwasher Tablets

Advantages: Gleaming dishes, glasses and machine
Disadvantages: None as yet

...This is a review of Asda 5 in 1 Citrus dishwasher tablets. We have had our dishwasher for a few years now and have come to the conclusion that you get what you pay for where dishwasher tablets are concerned.We prefer the tablet form of detergent purely for ease of use and less mess than powder. We have tried a few budget ranges over the years but find that the tablets do not dissolve or the dishes, especially glasses are left with a film of residue when the wash is finished, and there were many occasions when our food tasted of detergent due to the plates not being cleaned properly. For this reason, we have stuck to Finish for at least the last 10 months. Between Christmas and January pay day, we were watching our pennies and noticed that Asda had a 5 in 1 product which was on offer for £2.79 for a box of 30 instead of £3.30, and this...

Review of Asda Dishwasher Product

Cleans, freshens and maintains your washer

Advantages: Easy to use, very effective
Disadvantages: Takes around 2 ½ hours. Stainless steel drums only.

..."Dr. Beckmann Service-it" is a liquid washing machine cleaner that claims to "clean, freshen and maintain against breakdowns and malfunctions". The makers recommend that it be used every 3 months (or 40 washes) in order to rid your washing machine drum, pipes, seals, etc. of any build-up of detergent residue and grime. Also, by cleaning, to dispel any odours, and maintain efficiency by eliminating any build-up of limescale on the heating elements. The product is to be found in the 'laundry aides' section in many supermarkets, and can be purchased direct from the manufacturer's online shop at www.acdomart.co.uk. ~ My reason for using ~ I am keen to reduce my carbon footprint and have switched most of my wash loads to 30 or 40 degrees. However, when I recently used a 60 degree cycle (with high spin speed) I was surprised...

Review of Dr. Beckmann Service-it Washing Machine Cleaner

A washing machine I'm allowed to ram stuff in!

Advantages: Inexpensive, realistic, entertaining, neutral colours
Disadvantages: Door can come off, difficult to close, power button

...The title is of course a suggestion from my 18 month old :o) I recently went for some three weeks without a washing machine and had to make countless trips to the local laundrette with my lad in tow. Much to the laundrette lady's disgust I could hardly strap my son in his pushchair for hours at a time so he took great pleasure in examining the washing machines up close and deciding what it is they do; he even got to wash his cookie monster. He has since taken a great interest in the washing machine at home and was seizing every available opportunity to "wash" his things (be they his cookie monster, dirty socks or half full cup of milk). So when I had to go to Toys R Us recently to purchase a second stair gate (he's figured out how to open his bedroom door - at 5am), I decided to look for a little washing machine all of his own...

Review of Just Like Home Washing Machine

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

High pressure washer

Advantages: Handy, cleans well, high power, easy to use
Disadvantages: Maybe length of hose, can get cheaper versions

...If your Like me and don’t like paying £6 to get you car gleaming and clean, then this product is a good idea. The Karcher K090 Pressure Washer helps me easily get my car in the sparkling condition I like it easily and cheaply. Fare enough you have to put the extra time in cleaning but if you do it your self then you know what standard it will be done to and take pride in the finished article. I have an issue with the mechanical brush drive through washers I don’t believe they can do your paint work any good at all, have you seen the bristles on the spinner brushes, they are nylon and spin at a far rate, I am sure this can ware down your paint after a while. Plus I don’t feel comfortable at the end when the blower starts it always looks like it won’t move out of the way will brake the screen come...

Review of Karcher K090 Pressure Washer

Mail Washer Beats the heck out of your mail man

Advantages: Saves time and helps keep you email under control
Disadvantages: Can be a bit tempermental at times

...is a great little program called Mail Washer, which acts like a buffer between your email utility and your computer that filters out junk mail. HOW DOES IT WORK ------------------------------ Mail Washer flags those suspected of carrying a virus and automatically marks them for deletion. It analyses the email and compares it against know lists of offending address as well as checking against your own list of blocked addresses. Mail Washer gives you the option to allow or block email before it reaches you and the option of bouncing the spam mail back which can make the spam server respond as if your email address has become inactive and will could automatically removes you from its junk mail list. However, bouncing also informs them that someone is checking that email address because mail has been bounced. I tend not to bounce...
