I have a ten year old Bosch SHU 6800 series dishwasher that will be uninstalled tomorrow. Until a week ago, it worked really well–relatively quiet, cleaned great, multiple functions, delay start, yada-yada-yada. The computer went a little nuts suddenly, though, and we had A-Z Best Appliance out to repair it. They said it needs a new computer, which they had in stock and would put in for $350. We were on the fence about whether to put the money in or get a new one, and we decided to go for a new one with a warranty, etc, rather than repair the old. Not sure if it was the right move.. but anyway. I think this thing is certainly worth the money to fix for someone looking to get a fancy dishwasher without breaking the bank. It cost around $1000 new. Yours for $75 if you pick it up from me in Prospect Heights asap. As is, obviously. (It looks great, though it has a very small dent near the bottom.) prospectheightsguestapt@gmail.com

Sorry if this is an embarrassingly dumb question. I haven’t bothered with one non-working gas burner on my stove, but I recently have a problem with baking soda spilling on another one and hardening there. I thought wetting it would get it off, but it didn’t. I’m worrying slightly about gas seeping through but not fully lighting when the burner is on. Do I have to spend all that money on an appliance repair guy to clean it? If so, recommendations are welcome.

I’m considering a Viking dishwasher, but hoping to find some reviews first. Apparently they started making their own last year (after years of them being made by Asko with terrible reviews), and the specs make it look like a magic machine–supposedly ultra-quiet, no rinsing or scraping (b/c of a built-in disposal), great performance, energy efficient. But for a high price-tag, of course. Would appreciate reviews if anyone has them. Kind of sounds like a hardworking Kitchen Aid meets fancy Miele… Snarky comments, not required. Thx.

Where do folks recommend listing these used appliances and lights to sell? Here, craigslist, ??

So far we’ve got a dishwasher (GE Monogram that our oddly shaped dishes don’t fit in) and several light fixtures, some newish, some possibly very old (fitting for old brownstones).

I have a laundry room on the second floor of my brownstone. The washing machine jumps and vibrates so badly that it finally has died. Does anybody have a good suggestion for a new model to buy? Looking for a top loader if possible but open to anything that will work well on a upper floor. Thanks!

I m looking for a gas cooktop and under-counter electric oven.
I saw many posts suggesting Viking products. Does anyone know any other good brands and not so expensive?
I am ok spending 2000-2500 for both.
Thanks

We’re moving into a new apartment with brand new stainless appliances, but they won’t fit when we renovate the kitchen. The appliances have never been used, and still have all their instruction booklets, etc.

We’ll sell the entire set for $1500, or individual appliances at the prices below. Appliances are located on the third floor of a brownstone and the buyer is required to arrange pick-up, preferably by professionals.

Re-doing our kitchen Figured I’d see if there’s any interest in our old appliances. They’re well used, far from pristine, but fully functional. If you’ve got a tenant apartment where unit/s need replacing, these might suit you; and the prices are right. Range and dishwasher available this Monday, fridge two weeks thereafter. I can help getting to sidewalk; you transport. Location is Boerum Hill.

Looking to buy Bosch Axxis washer/dryer combo in the coming weeks and wondered if people had preferred places to purchase? I’m moving into a walkup so I need full delivery and install services. Any recommendations would be welcome.

I’m thinking of Lowe’s because I got the standard 10% moving coupon and I can purchase a tax refund gift card which would give me a 10% bonus. The combined savings I think would be hard to beat but I wanted to see what others thought.
