Re: A few questions for you ....
Thanks guys ... very helpful
I'll persevere with the washer for a few more loads and see if there is any difference in the wash. I'd noticed marks didn't come out of shirts and towels, but perhaps I was putting too much in? Plus it doesn't have an actuator (was told this was better by the salesman, but when I rang up about it the saleswoman said actuators are actually better for cleaner washing).
Costco card on the to-do list.
Salt in dishwashers .. used to put dishwasher salt and rinsing agent in my Miele (miss that with a vengeance) but there is nowhere to put salt in this JennAir one. Is it normal for dishwashers to have the heater in the bottom rather than integrated?
Yes, you might have guessed it .. I'm washing/cleaning obsessed!
As for the compost bin idea .. after reading your posts about the wildlife I'll give it a miss. Down the sink thing it goes from now on!
Thanks again

Re: A few questions for you ....
True. I also do pretty much all my washing and am very particular about it! I do all the cooking too. I did a whole bunch of research before buying the washer and am pleased that it worked out.
On the subject of actuators, yes they are better for the actual cleaning BUT they are also pretty bad for your clothes.

Good for you BTW...I was only joking about the 'man' thing.

Re: A few questions for you ....
It used to make me nervous sticking my hand in there to remove items that had fallen in! Our present house doesn't have one. The sink waste just runs out a pipe to the ditch.

Re: A few questions for you ....
Ooo another quick question ...
Just having some furniture delivered. Do I tip the guys who are delivering and putting together??
And if so, how much?

Re: A few questions for you ....
I don't normally because we've usually had to pay between $50/100 for delivery. However when our bedroom furniture was delivered it took quite a while for them to assemble and position it so I have them $10 each.
