You just wait til you get here! You'll find yourself a stranger in a strange land with strange washing machines............ It still matters you know, that you can get the whites at least passing for white, even in utopialand! :eek:

You just wait til you are wandering along the aisles at your local Safeway (or whatever) wondering what on earth is orange pekoe tea, and is it safe to drink!!!! :eek:

Re: help ladies, which canadian washer?
 

...and here I thought everyone knew what Orange Pekoe was.:confused::confused:

Even some English outfit called Fortnum and Mason sell it. :p

Re: help ladies, which canadian washer?
 

Well we'd never heard of it. Didn't worry me too much actually, but OH is more the tea drinker! ;)

Re: help ladies, which canadian washer?
 

Don't forget I was only sixteen when I arrived.:p:):)

I knew nothing about shopping for anything let alone tea. So I've learned everything here.

I can safely be accused of going native. :ohmy::rofl::rofl:

Re: help ladies, which canadian washer?
 

Yeah I know ! :p I was more referring to the new models being so bloomin' clever as to decide how much water to insert !! I forgot that little gem on my first post. Exciting hey?!

Ladies?!

Re: help ladies, which canadian washer?
 

A good idea, periodically.

Re: help ladies, which canadian washer?
 

Yeah, we were told that it was a whirlpool on sears clothing:rofl:

I wouldn't have bought a whirlpool as I don't like the rep' they had in the UK.....I still can't believe we spent so much on the things - still had our 'Oh it's only xxxx pounds heads on:unsure:'

Re: help ladies, which canadian washer?
 

Miele and Persil for me. Can't believe I took so long to ditch the useless North American top loader - bloody awful things; the difference in the results is amazing.

Re: help ladies, which canadian washer?
 

lol yes, I had to ask a local if that was "normal" tea"

Re: help ladies, which canadian washer?
 

So, what would you all say was the best types of washers to go for? Top Loaders or Front Loaders?

Karla x x x

Re: help ladies, which canadian washer?
 

Did I miss an exiting top loader/ front loader debate:)


Cant be bothered playing catch up with 5 pages of washer drivel
Try getting nappies from the bucket to the washer with a front loader, and then, my god, front loaders are are sooooo slooooooooow, and if overloaded do a really crappy job.
Top loader, Energy Star, Kenmore, Cant go wrong. But we have a well and dont pay for water:p And no, not all top loaders ( or front loaders either I guess) are created equal, some work better than others. Our newer kenmore (with triple aggitation, whatever that is) works much much better than the old one it replaced. Plus $600 for a washer makes a lot more sense to me than $1600.

Detergent? We use the cheap no name stuff in the big jugs. Its all the same people, detergent is detergent, its how much you put in that makes the most difference. The rest is marketing BS.

Re: help ladies, which canadian washer?
 

After 25 years of trying out different models my sister-in-law says only Miele will do... so that's what we're having. Anyone found Fairy non-bio in Calgary? If not what's the best equivalent?

Re: help ladies, which canadian washer?
 

I will have PG tips....even if I have to get it sent over

Re: help ladies, which canadian washer?
 

If you are going to take that kind of attitude why bother emigrating.
