What brand it is ? some have auto balance feature where it will sense the machines load pause redistribute the load by moving back and forth then re start the wash. I am curious what machine you have. The best thing is to actually was more items together vs just one blanket etc. This will help auto distribute the weight. You can add some ant vibration rubber feet to the bottom as well. There is a new product on the market that attaches to the corners of the bed sheets and blankets that assist with this as well.
I would rather you do a 5 n 1 oven like the GE cafe that can do so many functions in a compact unit you will be better of bake air fry steam micro etc it does it all. This way your not locked into just a steam unit.
Its truly an amazing set up from the Twins to an AGA Elise 48″ you should be thrilled to have these units. DW maybe bump up a series if you can for better drying abilities. The icemaker is great , the GE DW although in another area its just a low end unit can you bump that to maybe a matching KA? overall the main concept here you picked out some great items. Hood inserts are tough as so many on the market as long as good cfm 600 or more and it fits than you’re good to go.
Thermador is a better value but I own the all-gas Wolf and love it. First of all the charbroiler is gas infrared and will cook much better than the Thermador as it’s an electric grill. So for grill users, Wolf blows Thermador away. The Thermador will have a more accurate thermostat for baking, I do agree, and the star burners are pretty easy to clean. The Wolf you set to a temp and when the light goes out on the panel it reached the setting. I will say it’s not 100% accurate to dial in an exact temp but I find it heats up really well and has been trouble-free for me when the Thermador’s digital panel has had a few issues lately. Two top stoves, so you can’t go wrong, and the Thermador promo is awesome. But if you’re a grill person, nothing beats the Wolf grill, it’s like a real BBQ indoors. Good luck, either way, two top-rated stoves!
You can’t really reduce it in each cycle, but you can reduce water usage by selecting the proper dishwasher cycle. Every dishwasher cycle is preset how for time and water usage. Most dishwashers purchased today are very efficient and only use 4-5 gallons per load. Go back 10-years ago, and they were like 9-10 per load. So newer dishwashers are water savers to start with. I would wash larger loads to cut down on the usage and run out at night time to conserve energy as well.
