apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

My Dad has a Bosch dishwasher and not only does it get the dishes super clean, it is almost completely silent and the racks are designed for maximum dish capacity! I like to think of loading a dishwasher as a game of Tetris and this one really holds a ton of stuff. I love how efficient it is but I also really dig the light inside! I have to say I don't love cleaning up in the kitchen, but on holidays I always jump up and volunteer to clean up after the family just so I can play with the Bosch!

My Dad is an environmental engineer so he always has the cool, efficient appliances. I also covet his Asko front-load washer and dryer set.

Wow, I *heart* those Envirosax. They're more expensive than the Trader Joe's bags, but not by much, and for great designs!

How much are the Bosch energy efficient dishwashers?

Nicholas Kolya's work looks great, but isn't it illegal to damage money?

Title 18, Section 333 of the United States Codes states:

"Whoever mutilates, cuts, disfigures, perforates, unites or cements together, or does any other thing to any bank bill, draft, note, or other evidence of debt issued by any national banking association, Federal Reserve Bank, or Federal Reserve System, with intent to render such item(s) unfit to be reissued, shall be fined not more than $100 or imprisoned not more than six months, or both. "

Yup, it's illegal.

absolutely, those envirosax are wonderful! i bought them a little over a month ago and they have been getting A LOT of use. i always have at least one with me. i recommend them to anyone and everyone!

The envirosax are nice but not very man friendly.

I also love the Envirosax, but my boyfriend can't carry them over his shoulder because the loop of the handle is too small. I agree with Mason's comment that the designs are not man-friendly. I had hoped that the black and white designs would be slightly better, but I guess the only solution would be if they offered them in solid colours. Speaking of solid colours, the other caveat is that the design is only printed on one side of the bag, the other is solid colour.

They do carry a lot of groceries and fold up into a tiny package so I can put them in my backpack ready for any spontaneous shopping. I use these daily on my commute as well as for all of my grocery shopping, so while I initially found the price a bit much, I'm now a convert.

I gave Envirosax as part of my bridesmaid gifts, and everyone has found them really useful - particularly because they are so light and wrap up so small, they can be tucked into a purse or backpack to wait for an unexpected shopping trip.

The handles are a little short, but they are much easier on the hands than plastic bags!

Those type of sacks wouldn't be very hard to make at all if they are expensive to buy.
