1. ....

:hug:

You deserve it!

And I bet he thinks he's the lucky one!

:)

[NMDemDist2]

4. we're never had a decent dishwasher in 15 years of marriage

I'm just so pleased at all the water we'll save

[TygrBright]

2. woo-HOOOO!!! You'll be AMAZED at all the things you can wash that way...

Vacuum cleaner attachments...

Hairbrushes...

Garden tools (SMALL ones)...

Picture frames (non-digital ones that aren't wood, y'know...)

Storage jars...

The stapler that got Durkee's spilled all over it (don't ask)...

Cat toys...

Cat brushes...

Bookends (well, the ceramic ones...)

Anyway, enjoy. You deserve, indeed!

approvingly,
Bright

5. I had to google "Durkees"

:blush:


:rofl:

[hippywife]

3. Good for you, sweetie!

That ought to buy you a little more time and inclination to cook!

And I second what Stinky said. :hug:

[NMDemDist2]

6. sadly

one of the 'selling points' was that it will do top rack loads

I'm embarrassed how often we run out of glasses with no dirty plates these days

:blush:

[The empressof all]

7. OMG.....I was looking at that exact same unit the other day!

I had a pyrex pot cover explode in my older whirlpool and I had to call the repair guy to fish out all the glass shards out of its hidden nether parts. I had a few moments of bliss where I operated under the fantasy that Dennis couldn't fix my machine for far less than it would cost to get a new one.

I'm Jealous! May you have many years of fine washing with your new friend.

[NMDemDist2]

8. thanks TEoA

my old whirlpool has half the tines rusted and busted off and never has cleaned worth a damn in this new place.

I'm pretty excited :bounce:

[hippywife]

9. So, did you get to use it over the holiday?

Was it really nice and powerful?

[NMDemDist2]

11. this coming Wednesday, he bought it on "Black Friday"

so I dunno :shrug:

but it's gotta be better than this builder grade 16 year old Whirlpool that only has half of the top rack tines still intact (the rest have rusted through and broken off) and whose main soap compartment NEVER latched the whole time I've had it

:banghead:

[hippywife]

21. Duh!

I wasn't paying attention to the date!

[eleny]

10. How wonderful!!!

You're going to love the "tall tub" and how quiet these run. I know what you mean about running out of cups and glasses. We do, too - but mostly I run out of room on the top shelf of the dishwasher! Then I go looking for more to put on the bottom. Like maybe I stashed a soiled pan in the oven. :D

Speaking of pans, the Bosch will get the broiler pan clean as a whistle.

I'm crazy about the Bosch and am delighted that your hubby has made you so happy!

[NMDemDist2]

12. it will do the top rack only

I wonder if I can get a silver ware tray up there too?

hmmmm.... off the read the owner's manual again

:rofl:

[eleny]

15. About that silverware....

I did a 'top only' cycle after I posted my earlier reply and I had a couple of spoons down below in the silverware carrier. They washed up great. I guess enough soap and water fell on them. :D

Btw, the top rack has a section where you can put ladles and long stuff like that. The left side of mine is for that purpose. The items can't fall through. I've put a bunch of knives and forks in there a few times and they washed up fine and never fell through the plastic grid.

I hope you have fun trying all the different cycles!

[NMDemDist2]

18. i was checking that out in the manual

that's what I usually do anyway, but it's nice there's a little shelf there just for them

:bounce:

only two more days.....

I'll have to cook hubby something really messy that takes lots of bowls to prepare and is cheesy as all get out

:evilgrin:

[pengillian101]

13. Lucky you!

What a nice gift of quiet dishwashing!

:hi:

Sears is the only place we buy appliances. They deliver, set-up and quarantee what they sell.

Enjoy!

[NMDemDist2]

17. thanks!

It's gonna be my only Christmas gift this year (and maybe wedding anniversary too!)

but it's a great one

:hi:

[housewolf]

14. Lucky, lucky YOU!

You're gonna LOVE it!

I'm so happy for you...

:hi:

[NMDemDist2]

16. hiya Wolfie!!!

hope you are well :hug:

yes, it will be nice and I'll be saving a TON of water!! it will rinse and hold with just 1.5 gallons. I can't even get the water hot out of the tap in that amount to rinse the dishes :evilgrin:

[Gormy Cuss]

19. Oh my. His taste in appliances is a bit more refined than his food palate.

Hats off to Mr. Ketchup!

[NMDemDist2]

20. well, if truth be told

he set off to Sears with printouts of the two he could choose from

:blush:


:rofl:

[wakemeupwhenitsover]

22. How lucky of you to have him.

And how lucky of him to have you.

:toast: (that's cider)

:hug:

[NMDemDist2]

23. well that's true even without the dishwasher LOL

:hi:

[OwnedByFerrets]
