Comment on The Top 3 Washers And Dryers As Rated By Consumers by Sidney

Hello all - Woody has been so helpful to everyone here (including yours truly), that I am now going to pay it forward - or back - your choice, to let you know about an additional rebate on the Bosch 6450 washer/6330 dryer. As Woody mentioned last week, there is a $150 rebate on the washer; however, I spoke with a salesperson today who told me they are offering an additional $100 between 9/9 & 9/26. Woody, perhaps you can confirm for us??

I am in Massachusetts and found a couple of small appliance stores that offered a price of $1650 for the pair–wait for it–before rebates. I’m pretty sure this is a great price, and based on Woody’s recommendation, we are taking the plunge! (pun intended).

Thank you again Woody! You are simply the best! -Sidney

Sandy Suds: Costco is very good about returning products that do not meet expectations. I’m sure they will exchange or refund the product.

Keep in mind also, that in July 17 states joined the most of the rest of the country and banned the use of phosphates in laundry and dishwasher detergents. The boxes might look the same but what is in them is not.

Dang! Thanks, Woody. Of course, I bought the super-huge gigantic box, so I guess I’ll keep sprinkling until I get tired of it and then pass on the remainder to someone else. Or return the whole thing to Costco. Dang again….Sandy

Sandy: I think you answered you own question.

“So I used liquid HP detergent for the first couple of months, but then switched to powder detergent” (from Costco)

Ghost problem. So I used liquid HP detergent for the first couple of months, but then switched to powder detergent (from Costco). Now I’m getting some faintly washed-out spots on some of my cotton knits, and rewashing doesn’t remove them. These aren’t new knits — I’ve never had trouble with this before. I’m wondering if there’s some chemical in the powder detergent that causing this. I thought perhaps the machine was just dumping all the detergent into the drum at once, so now I’m waiting until the water starts flowing through the soap dispense and sprinkling it in so it goes in gradually. THIS can’t continue…. So, Woody or anyone else — any ideas re what’s happening or, more important, what I can do about it? Thanks, Sandy
