    Brother I’m not sure what kind of dishwasher you’re working with but my LG dishwasher will peel paint.

    Everything comes out crystal clear clean no matter how dirty it goes in, they specifically say do not pre wash anything and we don’t, everything ends up 98% dry too. There might be the odd bit of pooled water in some crevace of a container or lid to something. I use the steam cycle with normal wash and extra dry and overnight dry. All buttons are on top and just remember their settings so you don’t really need to do anything but slap the pod and shut the door.

    Dishwashers like everything run the price and features gambit. For performance like this we spent around $800. Worth every penny.

      Yeah, the bargain bin whirlpool my apartment grudgingly provides does not perform the same. Convincing them to shell out $800 or even to let me do so would be like convincing DOGE to fund universal healthcare—impossible.

        Damn that’s rough. Appliances in general are pretty shit lately. On the high end theres only like Bosch LG and Samsung. With the 2 Korean ones have all kinds of scandals and recalls. I’ve sworn off Samsung completely. But even within all brands it’s the high end stuff works as advertised and mid and low range stuff kinda sucks or works enough to not be returned.

          The one we have is a Bosch and IMO it’s the worst. If I had been in charge of replacing our old one I would have chosen something way better.

          It’s indicator for the cycle being done? A tiny beep that goes off like every 5 minutes or so for maybe an hour. Otherwise, the first person to open the door gets to see the clean dishes indicator light. After that it’s anyone’s guess. And the wash cycle is extremely quiet (this is actually a nice feature if it weren’t for the fact that it’s impossible to tell if it’s in the middle of a cycle or fully done other than the afore mentioned faint intermittent beep).

          Edit: oh, and all of the dishes are basically soaked when you open the thing. Especially if it’s been done for a while and everything has cooled down. Happen to have a light bowl in the top shelf that got flipped during the wash cycle? Now you have a bowl of dishwater that will dump out onto everything below it unless your real careful taking it out. Every glass has a tiny bowl of water in the divit in their bottom. And all the silverware is covered in water droplets that will spray everywhere as you attempt to put them away.
