Comments (19)@ sshrivastava: Regarding the animated display: I'm not saying it can't be done but I think it won't be done. Miele does not even sell washers in any other color other than white (besides that one Chocolate Edition in Canada). Even their fanciest products have the same orange display. The only item, it seems, where Miele does allow several different colors are their vacuum cleaners. Their newest S6 line even comes wrapped in velvet. It's not only Miele that uses water softeners in dishwashers. Every single dishwasher manufacturer in Europe uses them. Again, not saying it can't be done or that it wouldn't be a good/interesting idea - I'm just saying that I don't see it happening any time soon. @ livebetter: Bosch makes some good appliances and very efficient ones, too. Even in green Europe, they are continuously bringing out appliances that are a little more efficient than all the others. Technically, the fill and drain hoses on the Miele washer are no problem as they should really be long enough to reach behind the dryer. The dryer, however, can be a problem because you will obviously have to add extra venting to connect the dryer's vent to the opening in the wall. This should add two more elbows, which can be problematic if there is already a long vent run to the outside. The Bosch washer is .24 cu.ft. larger, which means roughly one lbs. more capacity. Bosch calls it AquaStop - Miele Waterproof. Same technology. Unfortunately, there are very few videos of the Vision online. This one shows Miele's venting process on the Comforters cycle. How much more or less water the Bosch uses - I don't know. Regarding the max temperature: well, my washer can go up to 203F and I never use it. 140F is the highest temp I use, so 158 would be hot enough for me. Both washers will heat the water whenever needed - except for Miele's "Normal" cycle, I think. Both washers have cold-only rinses. The Bosch dryer does not reverse tumble. 100 rpm won't make much of a difference. "Spin Speed Optimized Drying Time" just gives you a better initial estimation of the time left to dry the load and that "DynamicAir" technology... Miele also has a very powerful blower but it's just not given a special name. Miele probalby makes the better washer/dryer but those doors and the venting...

Comments (15)yttocs3, Dirty dishes aren't a problem...and I cook a lot!...because the sinks are so deep. I've always washed from Left to Right, so I put dirty dishes in the deepest and largest sink on the left. I clean as I cook, so it's a snap to either load the dish drawers or wash the dishes/pots/pans in the left sink, then transfer them to the right to dry. My counters are always free of dirty dishes, so the kitchen always looks presentable. This is the first house where I've had the deep sinks and I really love the feature! Keeps everything presentable until you get a chance to clean up. Regarding minimum distance between your island and the rest of your kitchen, I can only speak to my small arrangement. There are a bit less than 36 inches (maybe 33"?) between the island and the refrigerator and row of cabinets. Enough for the large refrigerator door to open 180 degrees. While I worried about the small aisle space while the kitchen was being remodeled, now that I've lived with it for several years, I actually love the arrangement. It takes very few steps to move around in my kitchen, from fridge to stove to island/sink. I wouldn't go back to the huge gourmet kitchen in my last house for anything, now that I've had the luxury of cooking easily with few steps, few wasted movements....See MoreQuestion for all vinegar users
Comments (14)pH affects the uptake of nutrients and it looks to me, as you probably concluded, that it is iron chlorosis. This is from University of Illinois: Iron becomes more insoluble as the soil pH climbs above 6.5 to 6.7 (7.0 is neutral - below 7.0, the pH is acidic; above 7.0, the pH is alkaline). With most plants, iron can only be absorbed as a free ion (Fe++) when the pH is between 5.0 and 6.5. My tap water comes from four town wells. The pH varies during the year because the town varies which wells are used and I suspect that the pH may vary during the year in individual wells. At any rate, my tap water pH varies during the year which necessitates my testing the pH once in a while. I adjust the pH to 5.5 to 6.5 by adding vinegar. I would not add an amount of vinegar suggested by someone on the forum because the chemical composition of your water may be different from that of a forum poster. Do as I do: add vinegar until you have reached the desired pH while measuring the pH....See More- 7 years ago
