Wolf DF vs. Thermador Pro Grand DF vs. Miele DF vs. BlueStar ranges
Comments (26)Sorry, just took a look at this thread again and noticed your question...by the time I got to Miele, I had decided on induction, so I didn't give the Miele an actual test drive. I did give it a pretty thorough inspection at the Miele place, though, and thought it was a very sexy range -- and the performance seemed very similar to the Wolf dual fuel. I say that b/c the Miele also has the stacked burners, which I really liked, but the BTUs are higher than Wolf (which top out at around 16k, I believe -- Miele was closer to 20k or so -- I can't quite remember). The Miele ovens on the 48" range were very nice -- the smaller one is a speed oven, and the bigger one is a regular convection. The speed oven wasn't a big plus for me personally, since I really wanted a steam oven as a second oven, but there are people on this forum who love their speed ovens. One thing I really liked about the Miele oven, which Wolf doesn't have, is the burst of steam option, which is great for baking (you can program up to 3 bursts of steam for up to 6 min. each during cooking). I didn't care that much about the MasterChef options on Miele, but again, others love these. At any rate, the Miele seemed very similar to the Wolf, I liked the steam option on the oven better and liked the Miele burners better (also, if you're interested in a grill, theirs was excellent and seemed very similar to the Wolf, which I think is the best in the business). If I had stuck with a range, I would have been very tempted by the Miele....See MorePersil Pro-caps
Comments (40)Our LAUNDRY FAMILY cracks me up!!! Ok, if two broken legs were not enough, I went in for a 3rd kill/victory late last night. I washed a med/sm. large sized load of kid clothes (100% cotton) and full of kid stuff (pizza, grass stains, random food stains, water based paint, etc....). Good New....E V E R Y stain removed. No pretreating. No Prewashing. Just one Persil Pro-Cap and 120F wash water (filled with cold, heated to 120F). Clothes look, smell and feel great. No rotten Persil scent yet... only clean and Euro. detergent smelling. BAD new.....SUDS-O-RAMA!!! Like insane suds. I had to do 5 rinses. FIVE rinses. I am stumped why none of you are having this. MamaP...you have soft water too, like we do! I like these caps too. They dissolve immediately, clean anything thrown at them, did not get stuck up on the rubber door boot (even without a mesh bra bad, HA HA!), the scent is clean and fresh and laundry was left soft. I will try calling Persil today, but they might be closed due to the holiday. I have 37 of these buggers left, and Walmart overcharged me. The shelf said Rollback price is $10.99 for a 40 count container. My receipt shows I was charged $11.97. Not cool Walmart!!!...See MoreWhat are the pros and cons of having all your bedrooms up stairs?
Comments (53)Condos, senior neighborhoods etc. I'm 47 and I would never want to burden my child with rolling out my trash (and doing a lot of other things) when I could move to an area with better services as I need them. When my parents were in their 50's they moved to their ranch house and used to say the same thing to us. However when it became clear they were no longer able to live in their house without assistance, they started balking at the idea of moving to something with better services. As they aged they didn't quite realize how much more help they needed, even after we got my Mom full time help during the day. (Mom had parkinsons and started to lose her ability to think clearly, while my Dad kept his facilities till the day he died) So would it have been better to drag my parents out kicking and screaming to someplace else, or better to help them to still live in their home. And since Dad was "clear of mind" I doubt a court would have allowed it. Once my Mom passed away, my Dad moved in with my sister. But that was his choice because he realized he couldn't maintain the house himself and he was afraid at his age of living alone. Trust me when I say the decision is never an easy one on either side of the fence....See MorePersil Pro Clean
Comments (31)SEA SEA & HMorton, Re: the Phosphates. I was interested in the reason for their ban, I remembered there was a huge problem with them not biodegrading, and contributing to algae blooms which sucks up all the oxygen in an aquatic ecosystem, killing fish and other species. Basically all this stuff circulates back into our groundwater so it comes back to us too. But from another health perspective I would be EXTREMELY leery of using phosphates on anything you wear next to the skin for the simple reason that arsenic binds to phosphates. Obviously you don’t want arsenic being absorbed into your body or breathing in particles. Check out this LA times article: http://articles.latimes.com/1994-07-23/home/hm-19020_1_liquid-laundry-detergents “What else is in your laundry detergent? In Seattle, the water treatment utility recently asked the nonprofit group Washington Toxics Coalition to take a look. One of the things the researchers looked for was toxic metals, such as arsenic, cadmium, chromium, lead and mercury, which earlier studies had found in high concentrations. These metals don't biodegrade in water treatment. Instead, they concentrate in sewage sludge or are discharged with treated water. The coalition didn't find tons of metals but did find a surprising correlation: The more phosphates a detergent contained, the more arsenic it was likely to contain. In fact, the coalition calculated that if everyone used high-phosphate detergents, that would account for 20% of all the arsenic that comes down the city's drain pipes--about 200 pounds of the deadly stuff a year. (Detergent manufacturers don't add arsenic to their product. The metal is simply attracted to the same materials phosphates are. When phosphates are mined from the earth, arsenic comes along, too.) “...See Moretwebbz
