Gillette Is owned by P&G so there is the answer to why there is a strong scent. Almost everything they sell is infused with strong scents.

Henene4: Thanks for your description of the interim rinse. The switching on and off of a motor is actually what bothers me so it is good to know about this action on the machine. Bob, does your model do the same thing during the interim rinse? I am wondering if the USA models are...

Henene4 So you are saying that the recirculation pump comes to a complete stop, then starts up again spraying through a different wash arm? If so, I think I would find this start, stop operation very annoying. I have the 6 series DW and for the sensor program, if there is medium to light...

Henene4 Can you elaborate on the pulsed interim rinse you talked about above? You mentioned a 10s algorithm. Do you mean it sprays for 10 seconds or it sprays every 10 seconds or what?

Ignore my question Bob I just looked at your machine's user manual and the second rinse option is in the settings menu. For my model, you must enter the service menu to select the option.

Bob I'm glad you like your new DW. Since you have a hidden control panel what procedure did you use to add the 2nd interim rinse to every run?

In my experience, it seems that the light soil setting will reduce the amount of Phase 1 detergent and Phase 2 hydrogen peroxide that gets dispensed, but I don’t know that it is reduced by half. All I know is that there is less of it. I like to use light soil when washing towels since they tend...

I hope you are not using 58ml for each full load.

I have tried using both and neither will drain the pre-wash water. I prefer the Sensor cycle because there is more variation in the cycle and even a reduction in water, time, and spray pressure for medium and lighter soil. If you check the user manual for the G6987, the program chart shows a...

Henene I wish mine handled the prewash like yours. Mine will not drain the prewash water no matter how dirty the load I give it and it always lasts 9 minutes. Instead, for heavy soil, it will extend the wash to almost 2 hours, and extend the first rinse. I don't like that technique. I can...

I have the previous 6 series which has a similar sump except for where the wash arm gets its water supply. The soil sensor is in the sump. My previous Miele DW had the sensor in the top right water supply pipe for the upper rack. I don't know if it is optical or what it is since it's not...

I had a G885 model that had similar-looking controls. It was sold in the USA and 1996.

I see no difference. I use it once in a while and also jet-dry. I don't want to use something that has a scent when I open the bottle.

I am really sorry that Whirlpool has taken over the Insinkerator brand. I fear it will eventually go the way of Whirlpool washers.

I just looked at the user manual for the WXD160 and it appears that it can be connected to WIFI so perhaps the app will provide the extra rinse. Also the Express program. If I use this program and select light soil, I get a 21-minute cycle consisting of a short wash and 2 rinses. This might...
