Square Wheels Posted August 11, 2018 Share #1 Posted August 11, 2018 Went to Best Buy, tried to buy from brick and mortar. None in stock. Went to Lowes, still nothing. Best Buy said it would be 3 - 4 weeks. Went Amazon for 1 - 2 weeks. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it would have been a cute gimmick that we would have used once or twice. You could also do updates to the programs on the dishwasher with it, and diagnose problems. 2 minutes ago, jsharr said: Have you asked the maid or butler how it works?

In Ye Olden Dayes, the serfs were tied to the land and stayed even if the Lord of the Manor changed. You should have demanded the serfs stayed when you bought Cottage Castle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The previous owner left the construction and maintenance records behind. He paid just north of 100K last year to seal the outdoor woodwork. In a few years, you and wade can come to a work party in Canada. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MickinMD ★ Posted August 12, 2018 Share #28 Posted August 12, 2018 I'm amazed at the lack of variety in today's brick and mortar stores. I think they get excellent deals from manufacturers if they keep certain competition off the shelves. As a result, there are a lot of relatively big ticket items I've gotten at Amazon. I wanted to buy a 1 bushel steaming pot for crabs that was simply aluminum and would fit under the hood on my kitchen gas range. In the Baltimore area, you'd think I'd have my choice of many. But they were mostly ceramic clad and $85 or more and mostly too wide. I got an aluminum one with extra slots for canning for $35 from Amazon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, looks like delivery schedule is a week out, but pick up in store any day. Also, check true mom-n-pop appliance stores as Bosch is quite popular and most carry. I know my go-to, Southeast Steel, does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
late Posted August 12, 2018 Share #30 Posted August 12, 2018 A few minutes ago, I ordered a pound of green tea, $38. Couple days ago, I got a tube of goo for the wife that her Doc suggested, it was $80. Yesterday I ordered a box of cans of tuna. Whole Foods stopped selling that type of tuna, which was irritating. We've got to be closing in on 2K for the year, we'll definitely get there by the end of year. Which is kind of freaky. I stopped being able to find Szeged paprika locally. It's worth the coin. Funny how we've gone from stores to malls to online to Amazon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longjohn ★ Posted August 12, 2018 Share #31 Posted August 12, 2018 When I bought my last dishwasher at Lowe’s, a young girl asked if she could help me find anything. I told her I found what I was looking for I just need her to get someone to get it down for me. It was on the third rack of appliances probably ten feet up. She said: “I’ll get that down for you”. She grabbed one of those step ladders on wheels and climbed up and grabbed it and carried it down the ladder. I told her I was impressed. She said they don’t weigh anything. That dishwasher has outlasted every other dishwasher I’ve owned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've had this one for about 12 years. It might be repairable, I'm not going to bother. From what I've read they last 6 to 12 years. So I spend $50 repairing it now only to have it die in a week or a year. Or maybe it costs me $100. A lot easier to just replace it. Now I need to dispose of this one. I'll likely just cut it up and recycle what I can and put the rest in the trash barrel. We have large barrels that the truck scoops up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the reason they have a little light that projects onto the floor to let you know it is running. Cycles may be a little slower. Plus, Bosch, in keeping with European standard, doesn't have a heating element for drying. May not be quite as dry, but uses the heat from the wash water for drying...so don't open late cycle and let the hot air out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
