Comments (15)Glenda...Sorry you lost the barn. What is supporting the panel at top of photo. Looks like it's levitating! :Q) Seriously, good luck with the cleanup and watch out for nails, rusty or not. I saw my first tornado when very young, near Mtn. View (ARK). It cleaned off the top of a mtn west of us and was overhead when it passed us, all crouched in the root cellar. Cristie... I've been through the kitchen remod scenario, in 2003, due to a small fire in the basement that did a lot of structural damage to the 1st level floor. It started badly, as the person who did the measurements, made several mistakes and we wound up with cabinets that were wrong size. The delivery people refused to set the cabinets in the kitchen, they were going to leave them on the porch(uncovered). I immediately called to cancel the job. They then had second thoughts and put them in the kitchen. Installation crew came to install them. Don't know why I did, but I asked what they we going to charge. It was double the estimate! They were not allowed to start the job and I wound up doing the entire installation myself. Having to wait on new cabinets, to replace wrong ones ordered, really extended the time. I began to think I would never finish. Good luck! and be very cautious working with all of that splintered wood, sheet metal and nails! Rb...See MoreBosch delivery problems?
Comments (49)I ordered a Bosch HBL8743UC black stainless combination oven on August 2nd, 2020. That is over 18 months ago! Every few weeks they pushed back the delivery date by a few weeks or a few months. Currently, they are giving me a June 2022 date, which - if it actually comes then, which is not likely - will make it an almost 2 year wait for an oven! Just like some of you, I really wanted that particular model to go with my newly renovated kitchen. I was also told that I was on top of the list, which gave me some hope. The appliance store is totally unhelpful and my letters to Bosch customer service have simply gone unanswered. At this point I believe that they simply stopped manufacturing that model and may never resume it. I should probably just give up. Can anyone recommend a 30" black stainless combination oven that they are happy with - and that is readily available? Or does anyone have any other advice?...See MoreCombo Washer/Dryers - Part 9
Comments (37)I am really glad I found this page/thread, there is a ton of good information here, possibly the best on the internet. Well, after 2 yrs of use for 1-person, my edgestar cw1200 has stopped heating the air for drying. It may also have stopped heating water, I cannot be sure. And as of now, edgestar seems to be out of the business. So now that my expectations are levelset for a combo unit, I wanted to at least let the group know the 'quality' of edgestar and maybe let newbies know some of the more useful features on these devices. I am going to call compactappliance to see if I can get it serviced, but I doubt it, it was only a 90 day warranty and since they are kaput on making these things, I probably will wait 2 months and won't get service anyway. So here is what I am looking for in a replacement: 1) cold-water only intake (seems not available in the USA) and a water temperature heater/booster 2) sensor in addition to timed drying, otherwise you can smell your clothes baking. 3) something to avoid wrinkles yet still have high-speed spin. 4) noise reduction and auto load leveling 5) 110-115 V 6) 2nd/extra rinse option I also have a dumb thought regarding the cold and hot water intakes; these puppies use so little water, I don't even think that hot water will get to the device, it would just keep pulling cold as it is at least a room and a half away from my water heater. Anyone know if that is an issue for them? It seems that bosch and meile are no longer in the business either and those seemed to be the two brands preferred on this board So I am considering the following, none have everything that I want: Eurotech EWC177 Ariston AWD 121 NA Splendide WDC6200CEE malber WD1000(cannot find much info) asko wcam1812 So I am leaning toward the asko or maybe the splendide. anyone have first hand experience with these exact models that they feel like sharing? Thanks! PS, Which.co.uk seems to have a pretty good (but slightly old) list of UK manufacturers here.. too bad I am in chicago. Whirlpool makes 6 MODELS in the UK and we have crap here. http://www.which.co.uk/reports_and_campaigns/house_and_home/Reports/cleaning/Cleaning%20appliances/Washer-dryers/washer_driers_essential_guides_574_73879.jsp...See MoreHelp - cabinet delivery date pushed out
Comments (14)Just an update - The cabinet guy kept on pushing the date out and when we asked to get us a firm date, he said June 6. He then offered to refund our money because of all the delays. We went to see him at his showroom to collect our money, and he had the nerve to say that the money was going to be coming from the factory. We told him that he was the one who should be refunding the money to us ....anyhoo, one thing led to another and lots of words were exchanged and cops were called (mind you, this was a new experience for us). ....he told the cops that we should expect to get our money by Monday next week. Anyway, DH called the factory today and they told him that the KD never placed our order!!! Can you believe it? In fact, we were told that he owes them money and that he was on credit hold. They are in the process of sending a collection agency on him.... So, 6 weeks without a kitchen and a $9K loss....that is our story. We have contacted a lawyer who is going to try to help us recoup something. I am not confident that we will get much. Plus, who knows how many people he owes money to. I wish I paid with a credit card....a big lesson for us! Shame on him.....Karma is a b*tch!...See MoreDerek McQuarrie
