Help, I need rec on good vacuums
Hi All,
I need some help.
One of my kid's has terrible allergies, dust mites, dogs,
and ca,ts. Still working on plans for my boxers. : (
Grandma will have to help me out. We are talking
Epi pen allergy type. Poor baby.
I am told by the Doctor. I need a HEPA vacuum.
The recommended one is a Miele Capricorn selling at $1000.
My old hoover was maybe $150 from Jcp years ago. So I was
umprepared for this price. I need to spend it. Just
want to know if this is the best option.
Does anyone have a Miele?
Do you like it?
Are their other brands out there?
I have heard the dyson is a nightmare?
And what about the old Kirbys or Rainbows?
Are they even around anymore.
Anyone else have allergies?
I asked the doctor could we tear out the carpet and
do all wood floor upstairs but he said you still need
a good vacuum. I have a central vac but clearly I need a
better system. Before I even imagine that the price
would be $4000 grand to order a new central sys. I
want to find out from GW what they have done.
Thanks all, my chil,d will be so happy when she can breath
~boxer (wow I need to come up with a new name.
Maybe boo hoo boxer)
Unless you have a poor installation or have a a old Sears system, with the small interior diameter tubing, in the walls U should B all set to go. You may need a bigger central unit, get someone out to see about the set up, or if there is a clog. Most people put in what the builder tells them or they buy a house with it already installed, with the Builder's Special. They are undersized! That's just wrong, and it is no wonder why people don't like central vac. You may need to upgrade your hose, Power Nozzle, and cleaning tools. Today's hoses are 1 3/8 ID and produce by far more air flow. I grew up with CV and I installed them in 3 homes, after market, and my hair salon. I have allergies, myself and they are a god send. check out www.builtinvacuum.com. There is a lot of info and much to read. Miele is a fine vac. It is the cost of the bags and filters are the killer. If you are a busy mom, you will never do the hose conversion on a Kirby or pull out the Rainbow to chase Cherrios. I have both. Most people by electric brooms at K Mart for this and this defeats your purpose. Throw out the Hoover as it is just a dust blower. U will be shocked as to what a retrofit will cost you for a CV. You will be much happier. The plus is that there is not thay much ongoing expense.
Do not rip out your carpet! ! ! I grew up with hardwood and the dust was always, airborne! The minute the carpet was installed, I did not have to spend Saturday mornings with tubes stuck up my nose! The dust may fall on the carpet but it stays in place and is not flying through the air with every person who walks through the room. You just need a good vac to deal with it.
I am certain that Graywings and GEguy will respond to your post. Graywings has had CV and a Dyson and GE knows his vac stuff. Let us know what you decide.
Fantastic Advice.
Truly thank you so much.
I am not sure about updating my CV. I plan to only live
in this hou,se 4 maybe 5 more years. Spending money to
improve my CV means it can't go with me.
The CV is Eureka CV2000 series. Not sure if this is a
good one or not.
I do agree the bag,s are expensive. My sister buys her bag,s
in giant quantities lasting a year. She is freakishly clean.
I tend to run my CV to do the wood floors every other day.
You are on TARGET. The Doc said wood floors do not improve
as the allergens are airborn. The floor were here before
we moved in.
I never use the CV carpet feature to do my upstairs
carpet. Never! It just does not clean the way my old
hoover does. I do use the hose part of the CV to do
curtains, corners, bathrooms, railings, stairs, ceilings,
vents, closets, under furniture...
But the hoover
has got to go. It works but it is a bagless and this
is where the problem is. (The doctor tells me)
I am also getting an air purifier for my daughter. She
can take that to college too. Hopefully this can help.
The Miele is pricey but maybe this could help. My DH told
me today to not rush the vacuum. Learn all I can and make
a wise choice.
I look forward to hearing more info.
Thank you again. It is nice to know I am not alone in
this allergy war.
As Eteinne mentioned it sounds like you don't have a very good built in vac. I would suggest a vac-u-flo. It is amazing just the amount of dust, etc. that ends up in the canister. And any overflow dust particles are vented to the outside. I have no affiliation with the vac. Just impressed with how well it works.
As having a child who was becoming asthmatic I put in the in-house vac coupled with a electronic air cleaner on the hvac system. By constantly filtering the air, and being OCD about daily vacuuming, he went back to just needing seasonal medication. I also would blow the areas around the entrance to the house (daily) in order to keep the pollen from being tracked in the house. One other thing was to make sure and take another shower after being outside all day. Helps wash the pollen off their bodies. So two/three showers a day was not uncommon.
As far as animals, we have always had one dog. And the breed we have had is a long hair variety that are seasonal shedders. But from what I understand it is the dander that is the real issue. They make a dander spray for pets. I don't know how well it works, but you might try it until you determine what you are going to do with your boxers.
Hopefully you will find the right combo in order to help your child.
You could upgrade your central vac and save your current unit. Then when you move you could switch out the units and take the better one with you - providing you'll have a CV in your next home.
As for vacuums - I used a Miele canniser and I found it so difficult to maneuver the power head that I took it back. I replaced it with a top of the line Kenmore Progressive canister that I love and I have another one at our vacation home. One is 10 years old, the other is 6 and they've been great. You have a choice of bags - a cloth bag and paper. I just use the paper, it's cheaper.
I am not sure why you are not using your Central vac on the rug. I can understand if you only have a suction only rug nozzle, but a power nozzle would do well. If you have the electric power nozzle, make sure that it is running properly. Check the belt and make sure the the brushroll is spinning while going over the rug. Make sure the bristles have not worn down so much that they are not effective at cleaning the carpet.
I would not suggest getting a new unit if you are only going to be there for a few years and money is an issue. A regular vacuum cleaner can be taken with you.
There are different levels of people with allergies and how much reaction they have. Personally, I have some allergies, but only require a thoroughly cleaned environment and a vacuum that filters well. I do not need the super duper tremendous filtration vacuum cleaner. There are others who must have the best filtering.
If you have carpeting and floors, you probably want a canister with power nozzle. If your child's allergies are terrible, look into a vacuum cleaner with a sealed system. This insures that any air goes through filters and does not escape through cracks before leaving the vacuum cleaner.
I do not know your cleaning routine, but you should make sure that you really keep the dust down. Dust often and vacuum everything. That means vacuuming the rugs, floors, furniture drapes, walls, etc. The walls do not have to be done every time you vacuum, but they do need to be done occasionally. Vacuum your mattress once a month. It is very easy to do. Don't put off vacuuming, because you do not see dirt. Dust is there, because dustmites are there(unseen). There is no need to remove carpeting, just vacuum more often. I love having carpeting. I do not want to be dusting floors daily; chasing dust across the floors.
A Miele vacuum cleaner, with a power nozzle, would work for you. I just do not care for their expensive bags. They have come out with a new and improved bag, decreased the number per package and raised the price. A better idea, for the customer, would be to give them a choice. Remember, earlier I said that people have different levels of allergies.
Take a look at Tacony's Riccar and Simplicity brands. They offer some canisters that have a sealed system like the Riccar Pristine or the Simplicity Verve. Go into the vac shop and take them for a test drive. Do not pay attention to the website prices, because they are MSRP. A good vac shop should have a better price. Cost of bags and filters are cheaper than Miele.
Another brand would be SEBO, but are expensive also.
I would suggest that if you look for a vacuum, take your child with you. See how the child reacts after the vacuum is turned on. You cold do this if you test the Kenmore line. Another cheaper vacuum would be the Hoover S3670. It does have the high filtration "HEPA" bags and filter, but it may not work for your child. It does filter well, but may be a problem if any dust escapes.
Dysons filter well, but the problem is when it has to be emptied. You would have to make sure the dirt bin is emptied outdoors. I do not care for the performance of many of the models on rugs except the DC17 and DC28 uprights.
Take your time when looking for a good vacuum cleaner.
Here is a link that might be useful: Simplicity
Thanks for the great advice.
My daughter's doc says I must be a good cleaner because
her allergies are so bad with Dust mites that she needs
an Epi-pen. So this means no dusting for her ever.
She is HSchool age.
I dust two times a week. I run my floor vacuum every
other day and the carpet vacuum then too.
The reason I do not like the CV for the carpets is that
it does not seem to clean as well. My hoover makes
the carpet look new. The CV picks up all the dust but
for some reason is not that great. The belts are all
new, I take it to a special Vacuum store that only sells
high quality sewing machines, air filters and vacuums.
I like this place because if you buy from them there is
free service for 5 years. And with my CV it is never
very much to change the belt.
But my system is probably 14 years old and not the top of
the line. I just ordered air filter systems for her
room and family room. Ouch this was pricey but they were
recommended by the doctor.
I have never heard of the Sebo but am reading about it on
line. I love German cars, appliances so I bet I am going
to love the Sebo.
I am also seriously thinking of updating my central vac
system even though I plan to move. I know nothing about
central vacs. I want one that has bags not the bagless
kind I currently have. I am going to do a little research
on a Hepa Filters for the Eureka I have before shelling
out cash for an entire new system. It might be possible
to upgrade what I have to at least trap some of the dust
mites. Eureka is now Electrolux for central vac upgrades.
So much to learn.
I had no idea my daughter would be dealing with this
allergy. I feel terrible for her. My other kids seem fine.
Guilt for not breast feeding her longer. : (
Truly thank you so much for all your information. I am
so thankful to have GW.
No guilt allowed! I'm sure you made the best decision you could at the time.
We purchased the Miele Capricorn last year to replace a HEPA upright that we had had for about 15 years that just wore out. I had resisted the idea of a cannister vacuum, but I was wrong. I really do like the Miele.
I tried the Kenmore Progressive but found it difficult to maneuver. Preferences are very personal. Be sure to try out the vacuums before you purchase.
We also have allergies, although not as severely as your daughter. And a sweet, very hairy golden retriever. The Miele bags do seem to fill quickly due to the hair and are quite expensive. For us, it's worth it. That's a decision you will have to make for yourself.
I love the lighted powerhead on the Miele Capricorn. It's so much easier to see what I'm doing. I only wish the parquet floor attachment was lighted as well. That's one of the things that I didn't realize would be so helpful, but really is. And having the controls on the handle makes it easy to move from surface to surface on the go.
I've never had a central vac so don't have an opinion there. I just know that we are very pleased with the Miele.
In 1996, our house was new.
Looked for a good vac...couldn't care less about price. I wasn't about to get a sub-$100 cheap piece of crap!
Stumbled upon a small vacuum shop that sold Simplicity & bigger Bissel vacs.
The Simplicity 7250-upright we bought for $425 THEN is still going STRONG.
Good on-board tools.
Jeeeezz that things' got power! Good filtration too IMO. It has "exit"-air filter pads.
It's the only vac I'll even look at...
I bought a Dyson a few years ago and love it. It has hepa filter and I use it on my carpeted floors and then straight onto the tile in the kitchen. I also bought the smaller model last season to take with me when we go r.v.ing. I could not believe the amount of dust it picked up after I just finished vacuuming with my Kirby (which I promptly donated to the Sally Ann).

We finally made it to Squaw Valley today only to be hit by a blizzard; we made the best of the situation by cuddling inside with hot chocolate. I have never been stuck in a blizzard before so I was nearly in shock when the car was completely covered in snow after about 30 minutes. The white blanket that covered the ground and everything around us was absolutely beautiful. After dinner with family and friends we are ready to turn in for the evening. I thought I woudl share a couple of photos from the storm with you before I call it a night. These pictures were shot right before the blizzard really hit hard.
Well I finally made it to Nevada, flight delays, rental car woes, and freezing weather and it was so worth it. I finally got to meet my little cousins and am enjoying the beautiful mountain air. We are near Reno at the base of the mountain. Tomorrow we will head up to Tahoe to see the lake and ski at Squaw Valley. The people here are so nice and the pace of life is a lot different than what I am used to. Even my Urban raised cousin drives a little slower than he used to and does not seem phased by time. The natural beauty that surrounds us is such a foreign site to me. Growing up in a sunny climate, snow is something I have only experienced a handful of times. I look forward to my day tomorrow and to a nice relaxing weekend away from the hub-bub of my normal city life.
This blog is about my activities around the world.

This article doesnt seem
This article doesn't seem to have been picked up much of anywhere. But it provides a very interesting view into the struggles taking place behind the scenes in the US government over Iraq.
In this case, one of the important hawks at the Pentagon, F. Michael Maloof, has apparently had his security clearances lifted because of his contacts or connections with a Lebanese-American businessman whom the US is investigating for running guns to Liberia. (Small world, ain't it?) Maloof was a key player in the Pentagon's effort to develop its own intelligence to support a al Qaida-Iraq link.
This sort of story about security clearances, secret intelligence, and administrative decisions which are themselves supposed to be classified are very hard to nail down. And the article inevitably leaves all sorts of questions unanswered.
Maloof's defenders (the usual suspects among the hawks) say he's being punished for dissenting from and finding evidence to challenge the State Department-CIA view of the Middle East. Whatever the case, this is clearly part of a deeper tug-of-war over the control of intelligence, most details of which remain outside the public view.

Merlin's Magic: The Inside Story of the First Mobile Game 60

ohmygod. Merlin. Absolutely my favorite childhood toy, hands down.
On Christmas 1979, my parents thought it would be cute to hide it so I'd think I didn't get one. Apparently, they were under the belief that it would somehow make me show more interest in my other gifts. In reality, it had the opposite effect... convinced I didn't get one because there was nothing under the tree whose box was even plausibly the right size and weight, I was *miserable* at dinner on Christmas Eve, and went through 10 minutes of ritualistically and mechanically opening gifts with zero enthusiasm or joy before they "remembered" that they "forgot to bring out one of the gifts". The rest of the evening was quite happy, and Merlin was a constant part of my life until I got my Atari 2600 for Christmas in 1980.
That was one masterpiece of analog electronic game design. I had one, it was lots of fun!

Merry Christmas
Just wanted to take a minute to wish everyone here at GW a Merry christmas! Hope you all stay safe and happy throughout the season!
oops.... reentering my blog link
Here is a link that might be useful: Di's blogspot
Hi all,
I just love this time of year. My childhood memories of Christmas are just wonderful. Christmas Eve and Christmas Day were days of magic filled with happy times. It was a time of relatives getting together and laughing and playing games. And I haven't even mentioned the food. There was plenty to go around and lots of tasty dishes and desserts. I remember the Christmas traditions that have to be part of the holiday or it just doesn't feel like Christmas. I really have to thank my parents for making Christmas such a special day for me.
I hope that Christmas is a special day for you and that you and your family all have a wonderful time.
Take care,
It's special in our house too. Gatherings gatherings gatherings...Shopping shopping shopping...cooking cooking cooking...wrapping wrapping wrapping. It's a big big big time of the year. I think I am about done....for this evening anyway
I woke up with an incredibly sore throat and my voice is gone. I am drinking a beer(Bell's cherry stout) as I post, soothing my throat.
All the kids should be home tonight-It's almost 11PM and we are still emptynesters!
Christmas stockings for Adult kids are pretty ridiculous but I am sure they are not ready to give up that treat. This year the 3 of them are getting emergency flash lights in their stockings along with some ityy bitty not expensive things. Our gift exchange will be tomorrow morning. then we will be heading south for another family gathering that I am finally NOT hosting. We're spending the night at my brothers. Should be a fun time.
Merry Christmas everyone. Let's all have a peaceful time and enjoy the season. It will soon be gone for another year.
Wow, Where did this come from...2005?
I was actually thinking about posting a Christmas letter over here and what do you know. I found about the same post from 2 years ago. This time I put nicoret gum, electric tooth brushes and gift cards from noodles in their stockings. My son's ******y girlfriend is no longer in our picture-(that was perhaps my best present)
Happy New Year everyone! Diane

[Sparen] Danmakufu Features is now a thing (about a quarter of the people I reached out to actually answered the survey)! Most likely, it will be shoved under "What We Are"
~The first installment of Danmakufu Features - Raiko's Rhythm Rumble by AJS, is now available!
March 24
[Mk] There's some new stuff that's been added in the Album Archive but instead of listing them one by one, I put star(☆) markers beside each album link to specify whether they're new or not.
On a side note, the Archive music box has been updated and the Ampitheater music box has been moved to the directory page.
Time for some doujin updates~
March 22
[Sparen] Information populated for White Names Spoiled Past.
March 22
* Made the front page tighter and more meaningful. I got rid of the music box probably no one was using, as well as the Hot Topics and On Our Minds areas, since they were being neglected, in favor of a new Weekly Featured Spinoff and moving the shoutbox to the left column of this main area.
* Updated Nitori's Computer-Reading at the bottom of this page. It now finds Vista again (why it wasn't before I don't know), and comes with icons for a nicer look that is no longer just text.
March 20
[Sparen] Information populated for Mystical Power Plant and Fairies of Sorcery, as well as the SpellCard Collection series, Youkai Kori Kassen, and Riverbed Soul Saver.
March 19
[Ace] Added some quotes from Forbidden Scrollery to the quote database, for a new total of 235 quotes it now draws from.
March 18
[Ace] It's high time I did some things around here.
* Added the recent games to the polls and actually reset the three main polls as a result, because tastes and skill levels change over the years. With a refreshed ability to vote, get back in there and tell us which games you like and what you're capable of nowadays!
* Since Saint left, the Print Works page has fallen out of contention; I have picked it up, and want to start doing its upkeep myself (unless another editor wants to do it?). I have started by updating the downloads for "Wild and Horned Hermit" and "Forbidden Scrollery" to include everything that's been translated to date.
* I also totally overhauled the organization of the Print Works page.
* I added a bunch of new quotes; seom from ISC and ULiL, and a bunch from WaHH. I'm too burnt out to add stuff for FS right now, but expect more new quotes within the next week.

your best bet would be to try an auto wrecker and see if you can get a good used one, you should be able to get one for under $1000.00 but I dont really know what the prices are like there because Im from Canada ,but I know I could probably do it for around $1500.00

Riot Act
"A self-defense expert with a motorbike and an attitude, Charlie Fox doesn't need to go looking for trouble. It generally finds her. House-sitting for a friend seemed like an easy favor at first, but the house in question is in the Lavender Garden Estate. Teenage gangs are running riot and Charlie's desperate neighbors have been forced to employ an expensive-- and ruthless-- security firm to apply rough justice where the legal kind has failed. The situation gets even uglier when a young Asian boy is fatally wounded in what appears to be a racially motivated shooting. Caught in the middle of an urban battlefield, Charlie's more than able to take care of herself, but then she's faced with a spectre from her army past. As the tensions rise, lives will depend on Charlie working out just whom she can really trust"--P. [4] of cover.

VMware's Gallium3D Driver For Virtualization
Published on 14 May 2011 05:36 AM EDT
Written by
Michael Larabel
14 Comments
Brought up several times in our forums and elsewhere over the past few days has been VMware's Gallium3D driver that they use for guest 3D acceleration on their proprietary virtualization platform.
Compared to
Oracle's VM VirtualBox graphics acceleration support that is quite slow
for OpenGL and often unreliable or
the limited attempts at OpenGL QEMU acceleration
, VMware has a rather nice acceleration architecture built atop Gallium3D. Using Gallium3D at the heart of their graphics driver implementation across platforms shouldn't be surprising though since
they bought out Tungsten Graphics
in late 2008 and its these Mesa / Gallium3D drivers now developing VMware's graphics stack.
VMware's Gallium3D driver known as "vmwgfx" for its "SVGA II adapter" is open-source for its kernel and Gallium3D bits. The kernel DRM / libdrm / Mesa bits are all living in the respective mainline trees and are open. Just not being open is VMware's virtualization platform itself. With the
vmwgfx DRM driver is also kernel mode-setting support
the vmwgfx stack is open-source
, it's not enabled by default in Ubuntu and many other Linux distributions at this time. This Gallium3D stack for VMware virtualization
came about in 2009
and has matured since.
With leveraging the Gallium3D architecture, guest operating systems using the Gallium3D user-space driver for this VMware SVGA II adapter can benefit not only from OpenGL acceleration but also closed-source Direct3D acceleration, EXA / X-Video acceleration on the Xorg state tracker, and state trackers for OpenGL ES 1.1/2.0 and OpenVG. State trackers for H.264 VDPAU and OpenCL are also on the road-map for Mesa, as Phoronix readers should already know.
The VMware Linux driver is quite stable and nice from the tests that I have carried out. It's capable of handling Compiz / KWin / GNOME Mutter and various OpenGL games. There really aren't any complaints that I have and their bits are mainline and open-source. It should also be possible to run Wayland on this driver stack, but that's been untested as of right now.
As to those in the Phoronix Forums wondering why this VMware driver is never benchmarked, it comes down to a few key reasons: 1. VMware's virtualization licenses are CPU-locked and expensive (VMware in the past has offered a license or two just for review) and 2. VMware's user agreement bans any benchmarks from taking place and being published of their virtualization system (at least as far from publishing the results on mainstream, frequently-visited sites like Phoronix). Those are the two key reasons. It's a pity as its under VMware that I run my main desktop and is the best virtualization platform I've used, especially when it comes to graphics acceleration and support.
Fortunately, at least, there are independent users willing to
benchmark VMware on OpenBenchmarking.org

In one or two s-bahn stops, you are at all the tourist spots you need to go! It is also reachable by foot! It is directly in Berlin's most popular quarter with an innumerable ammount of cafes, bar, restaurants and shops, pharmacy, bank, coffee-shops etc. especially when you walk towards the Naturkundemuseum U bahn station. Excellent connections to the public transport system!
You can walk to several attractions, for example Kollwitzplatz and the water tower, Bötzowviertel or even Alexanderplatz and its TV tower, the Berlin Cathedral, Karl Marx and Engel memorial and further more (if you like to walk).
Only 10-15 min by foot from Hackescher Markt and the Museumsinsel.
The apartment is spacious (42m^2) and with everything you need for everyday life as (W-Lan, dishes, towels, blankets and pillows, washing machine, etc., etc.)
Best of all, there is both a bathtub and a separate shower in a big bathroom!
Feel free to use the kitchen too! It comes with a stove, oven, microwave, fridge, toaster, grill, water boiler, whatever you need to cook!
(Main bedroom includes a really steady big double bed. There is also an extra single mattress. An extra inflatable double mattress or a single inflatable mattress can be added)
Museumsinsel (10-15 min by foot): Pergamonmuseum, Bodemuseum, Altes Museum, Alte Nationalgalerie, Berlin Cathedral
Unter den Linden (10-15 min by foot): Brandenburger Tor, Guggenheim Museum, Staatsoper, Komische Oper, historical town centre.
Hackescher Markt/Oranienburgerstraße (10-15 min by foot):
Already one of Berlins main attractions with an innumerable amount of bars, restaurants, shops and theatres.
Mauermuseum (5-8 min by foot): Museum and memorial site with the only completely authentically preserved parts of the wall.
Auguststraße (5-8 min by foot): The famous "Scheunenviertel" quarter, known for its large number of galleries, bar and restaurants.
Kastanienallee/Prenzlauer Berg (5-10 min by foot): One of Berlins most trendy streets with lots of Cafés, bars, shops and the wonderfully relaxed Weinsbergsweg-Park.

Mauer Park is also just nearby! (top flea market and festivities on the weekenda!) 3 Tram stops away! Tram M10 runs just in front of S bahn Nordbanhof, which is the main road once you exit the apartment and walk across the small "park".
Due to the windy and cold weather which is often in Berlin, I recommend the use of S bahn for your travels. Bicycle rentals are also available nearby BUT i think it is cheaper if you rent it near Friedrichstrasse or Hauptbahnhof. There is a DB bicycle rental nearby round the corner as well.

Franke Orca Sink?
Does anyone have this sink... It's got a lip on it to put a shelf on. Do you use the shelf?
Marisa99, you ask a great question, especially since this is a pricey item. I own the grids for both sides but only use the one for the right. For me it is used daily, at almost every meal, as an additional "counter" to keep messies off of the counter, floor and cabinet fronts. For example, this a.m. the coffee basket and coffee were set on the upper grid to measure the coffee out into the basket. Then a bowl was set on it and ingredients for pancakes measured into the bowl. To maintain a hygenic area for meal prep, the grids are transferred to the counter so the sink can be washed after every meal and often dried. At night the grids are also wiped down and dried so they remain clean. Much to my own surprise, the upper grid is almost never used as a dish rack as I had anticipated. The Franke grids are so robust that plates, bowls, cookie sheets, pans are propped against cross pieces of the bottom grid and leaned against an edge of the counter at the top of the sink to drain. The upper grid is removed prior to washing. The granite surrounding the sink is cut with a zero radius (per Franke instructions), meaning the edge of the granite continues straight down as one straight line with the side of the sink. This makes for easy removal of the grids. One final thought since this is a single bowl sink. Progress International makes a plastic 15" collapsible tub which is a perfect fit for the left side for those times when you want to keep things washed up as a meal is being prepared. It collapses to just 1.8" high and is easy to collapse or expand. I apologize for all the detail. As you can tell, the Franke sink and grids are one of the favorite parts of my remodel.
I agree with Texasgal47 ... the Franke "ledge" and grids are incredibly handy. My sink is the Oceania, a large single bowl with the integrated ledge. I use the half grid and keep it on the right side of the sink all the time ... it has a million and one uses! I got the full size bottom grid as well, but don't use it much and keep it under the sink except for the times that I am doing a lot of cooking. Some of the Franke sinks have a plastic accessory bowl available which fits over the edge of the granite so the bowl is suspended over one side of the sink, effectively turning a single bowl sink into a double bowl. I have one of those as well, and it has a little plug in the bottom so I can use it for doing dishes. It, too, stores easily under the sink. Franke also makes their sinks available without the ledges as an option, but really, they are so handy and functional, I can't imagine not having it now. The finish of the Franke stainless is also very, very nice.
Realism, I'm pretty sure there wasn't a $400 price increase for the integrated ledge, and in any event, the price I paid at the plumbing fixture store was much less than MSRP.

The sink seems to sell for $600-$800. Is there anything that sets this sink apart from a stainless undermount sink without a ledge? I don't dispute the usefulness of the ledge, I just question whether it is worth such a high price tag. Seems like most of the function of the ledge can be replicated at a much lower cost by doing things like putting a strainer in the sink. Might not work as great but it is a hell of a lot cheaper.
Thanks Texasgal and jellytoast!
I have to replace our old Franke double bowl sink which was damaged when we had our 'kitten flood'.
The orca really caught my eye in the store because it seems like you have some of the advantages of a double sink but all the advantages of a single bowl sink.
I have this sink also. Love it, have 2 grids: bottom and right hand side. They are always there unless I am cleaning the sink. Just like Texasgal I use the right side grid all the time. Can you survive without it?...sure, but the question was if we found it useful. I do. I got mine at Grand Central Plumbing (my KD recommended the place) for a little over 500. The only thing to be aware of...it's 18 gauge, not 16....if it matters.
I've had mine for two years now and I'd pick it again if I were to move.
I have both the right and left ledges that are coated (and the uncoated sink grid), but use the right side ledge almost exclusively now. I bought the coated ledges because I use them as my drying racks as most of the things that I dry here are wine glasses and other more breakable items.
As a side note, the Franke racks are heavy-duty, which is a major plus in my book.
"Is there anything that sets this sink apart from a stainless undermount sink without a ledge?"
Yes ... it is the ledge that sets it apart from other sinks. IMHO, this really is a case where form and function come together beautifully. If there were other less expensive sinks that offered the ledge and shelf option, I would have considered them, but as far as I know, Franke is the only company that offers it. I am fortunate in that I live close to a Franke showroom where I was able to view all of their sinks and sink accessories, set up in actual countertops. After seeing it in person, I could see that the integrated ledge and shelf system isn't just a gimmick, but is rather an extremely useful and convenient feature, and it looks nice enough that it can be left in place all the time. And after using it in my kitchen, I think that it is money well spent. Maybe other manufacturers will catch on and start offering something similar on their lines for less money.

I absolutely LOVE my Orca sink. I do use the shelf to dry items and I picked it because I wanted to gain more counter space by getting rid of my drying rack that sat on the counter. . This functions wonderfully.
I got this sink online for way below what it was in any showroom. I found the cheapest price online. (two year ago I paid $564.00) and contacted Faucets Direct to ask if they would honor the lowest price and they did! I also got the free shipping! The gentleman on the other end of the phone said, " We are not making one penny on this." Oh well....
OK, I can't believe that I am going to reveal this semi-publicly but here goes. I was woefully uninformed about sinks (and more) when I did my prior renovation in 1999. I bought a Franke sink with a ledge (it was not the Orca). I bought it from the appliance dealer and never did any separate research into sinks so it was really an afterthought--I picked it from the catalog (dumb, I know). I had no idea back then that there were any such things as sink accessories like grids. So I never knew what the ledge was for--I guess I thought it was decorative! I had absolutely no idea that there were grids I could have purchased to perch on the ledges.
Well, the point of this little story is that in the 13 years that I had that kitchen, it would have been so very handy to have had that in-sink grid to work as a draining board. All those years we spent creating unnecessary puddles on the countertops when we drained things we handwashed--I feel really dumb for never having used that ledge for a grid.
That ledge is a really nice feature of the Orca!
The Orca was the first sink I saw, but I decided I needed a single bowl rectangle so I can't comment on Orca but I can say I think the quality of Franke sinks are FAR removed from the builder grade SS we are used to seeing. I have PSX1103012-pricey for me but the best sink I could ever want.
I'm not saying you would do this but I wouldn't buy any knockoffs or any that are sold at Lowes, only from an authorized dealer online or elsewhere.
nycdevil--don't feel bad, I had a top mount freezer for years before I discovered bottom mount models. No one around me had one so I never knew how comfortable it is to have the freezer below. I just suffered for years with frozen chops falling on me when ever I opened the freezer.
Here is a link that might be useful: Lowe's sink problem
Yeah, I checked all the online authorized dealers and ended up with contractor pricing from our local showroom. I don't want the headache of a problem and not having warranty coverage. I'm definitely the "if I didn't have bad luck I'd have no luck at all" type of person! Hence the Great Sink Freakout and sudden change from silgranite to Orca.
I must say though, I'm glad I bought the sink so late in the process. After buying the cabinets, flooring, and most of the other things, it was only mildly gut wrenching to pony up that much for a sink! I decided DH and I would really love the Orca, so I went for it.
I'm definitely leaning toward uncoated racks, but I still can't figure out what the coating is.
williamsem, the coating is clear, very thick (will not disintegrate like my experience with Kohler coated racks) and unnoticeable (not sure what it is made of, though). As I said before, I use the coated upper grids for drying out glasses and other non-DW items. I LOVE the coated grids. Honestly, you cannot tell which is coated and which isn't unless you touch them, they look exactly the same. They also look just as good as the uncoated ones 2+ years later.
LOVE my uncoated bottom grid, too. The bottom grid had to be cleaned every so often with a toothbrush to get some of the gunk off of it because it is in constant use and constantly wet (I do not dry out my sink like some others do).
In the end, go with what suits YOU and your sink use.
Does anyone foresee a problem with our right rear wall water outflow pipe being 8" from cabinet base bottom and this 10" Orca? The air trap is just to right of central drain. Need an Insinkerator 3/4 hp compact pro to be added below too, with a high loop system for DW on left.
Looks like an answer to decades of drying rack on counter and love the design. Thanks.
I almost wish I had gone with a SSS because of the Orca! I have a Franke SS at my other house and it is a very good quality I sure would love to get away from the darn drying racks on the counter too because my hard water leaves unsightly mineral stains on the tray part! Hoping that the whitehaven is large enough to put my draining rack inside the sink!
This sink seems amazing! Just a silly question for people that have it. If you use the rack for drying dishes, does the water spray or splash them if say, someone washes their hands in the sink while the dishes are there? Or do you immediately dry the dishes and put them away?
I was thinking of the Elkay low divide sink and I'm hesitant because of water splashing into the second bowl. My brain hurts from making this sink decision. I need to take the plunge soon. My DH thinks I've lost my mind with all of the agonizing over small details.
For those who have this sink, might you discuss your faucet choice? How did you come to choose it and why?
I see the faucet placement most probably goes on the rear right of curve. How is the reach to the drain on the left side? Any faucet type you'd advise in particular? A high arc with spray? Any you might not recommend for this layout?
Thank you.
I'm going with the Kohler Simplice because I like the look, I can put the handle in front, and it gets great reviews from those here that have it. And i can afford it. Many other faucets i liked were much more. I did see one old thread with the Orca and Simplice, but the pics were a bit dark and no feedback on the combo :-(
I hate my SS double bowl sink. It was a huge mistake even though the quality is fine. It's impossible to lay a frying pan or cookie sheet in it to soak when I need to... It is an "artisan" brand double bowl sink that is almost exactly the same size/shape as the orca, and as it is mounted in granite we are stuck with this hole size.
I just ordered (for $10 from Franke) a cutout template for the orca to see if it will fit here, even if it is not totally perfectly lined up. If it works I am getting it and will post pics before/after!!!
Katyde, the Orca comes undermount or over mount, so you may have a little flexibility in using the existing hole. Be sure to ask about both!
My grids arrived today! Got the uncoated bottom and right side rack. Also the drainer that sits over the right side. So excited about this sink, DH thinks I'm nuts!
We, too, are in the middle of a kitchen remodel. I feel in love with the Franke Orca (if it is possible to fall for a sink). I had the double bowl for the last 12 years (contractor grade) and cleanup was awful when trying to scrub turkey roasting pans and lasagne pans. I searched for months for the perfect sink. It is worth every penny. As others have said, by buying it online you can save hundreds of dollars after the showroom places. I think this is my favorite part of the soon-to-be new kitchen! The other main reason for choosing this oversized one bowl sink was that i was tired of looking at the dish drain on the counter. With granite counters coming in, I'd rather have fine washables on a rack inside the sink! Everyone on this site has been so helpful.
We're doing a kitchen remodel and need to make some sink decisions.
I loved the Franke Orca when I saw it because it seemed really well made and I loved the grid because I thought it will very useful for draining pasta or wash/dry vegetables & fruits. The price seemed steep. In the meanwhile a friend suggested Blanco Silgranit. I liked that too, however I could find good accessories for draining washed vegetables (didn't like the basket). So I'm thinking of going with the Orca even though it is almost double the price.
My questions -
1) With the Orca sink, if I use the grid on the right, where should the soap dispenser be. In the pictures and displays I've seen, it is on the right side. But if I'm using the right side shelf, should the soap dispenser be on the left? Because if the soap is the right I'll be wetting the things that are draining/drying on the right shelf? Can people who are using the sink please comment on where you think the soap dispenser should be?
2. Should I get the bottom grid as well? Do you find it useful or is it actually not needed?
3. Any thoughts on Franke Orca Vs. Blanco Silgranit?
Thanks much.

Remember when Jay-Z had that run of concerts at the Barclays Centre in Brooklyn? We got the short documentary, Where I'm From: JAY Z Barclays Center Documentary, about the concert and about his life from his media company Life + Times. Watch how the Jay-Z machine operates and pulls off one of the most epic concert series in New York ever. I personally got chills while watching this documentary.
