    Dishwashers losing popularity in US Homes???

    I'm kind of a dishwasher snob and there are only certain models I would want... but if I were DESPERATE I would totally rather have the bottom of the barrel builder grade dishwasher as opposed to not having one at all. Same with one of those HE TL machines with a wash plate that I hate. I would...

    Dishwashers losing popularity in US Homes???

    I told her to switch to powder or gel and not use pods so she could control the amount.....

    Dishwashers losing popularity in US Homes???

    I was on reddit a few days ago and in the comment replies to a post a lady was complaining about her new Kitchenaid. She said it's awful. I was asking her questions about it. It sounded like based on everything she told me she was doing everything right. Using good detergent, not rinsing...

    Dishwashers losing popularity in US Homes???

    It's so funny how my experience being 3 weeks without a dishwasher back in 2014 while waiting for my Maytag was HORRIBLE... I had relied on a dishwasher for so long and gotten so used to my system that it was almost traumatizing. It's just multiple times a day something might end up in the...

    Do Dishwasher in "autoclean" mode know if it needs another rinse?

    OR... is that just for food particles? In other words, does the machine know if there are traces of soap left and add another rinse? If so, would this be true with all dishwashers that have an autoclean cycle?

    LG WM4200HW

    Sorry to hear about your LG... GEEEZZ. That would make it around 4 years old and already an issue. Hope it's something minor and you get it sorted out.

    My brother got a Samsung

    Well to be fair we only hear about the bad... rarely the good. So there are probably a lot of Samsung's out there going for years with no issues.

    Newer Whirlpool washers known for control board failures?

    I will never take them seriously when they ignore planned obsolescence.

    Front loader or top loader machines?

    For me it's this: Watching some of the TL washers in action that aren't overloaded (just a normal load), speeding up the video, you do see clothes moving and it doing it's job. But it's risky. You're hoping and praying that item on the top will eventually get pulled down, and it does get pulled...

    Front loader or top loader machines?

    Front load! Aside from a classic SQ top load washer that works much like the old fashioned TL washers - if someone offered to GIVE me a brand new top load washer, I would decline and go buy a front load washer (unless I were desperate). Even the worst FL washer on the market would be better (to...

    I finally tried Great Value (Walmart) Dishwasher pods (wow!)

    The only thing I don't like is the tub. You have to physically pull the tub out, rip the top off to get a pod...

    I finally tried Great Value (Walmart) Dishwasher pods (wow!)

    I honestly don't know. It gets the dishes really clean though. The ingredients say it has a fragrance, but it's VERY muted and definitely no smell at all at the end

    I finally tried Great Value (Walmart) Dishwasher pods (wow!)

    It has enzymes and I think somewhere it also has peroxide in it or something. The ingredients list were much like the kirkland pods but slightly different.

    I finally tried Great Value (Walmart) Dishwasher pods (wow!)

    No. Quantum. At least that's what they have at Costco and on their website. It used to be blue packaging but now it's black packaging. I was reading through the reviews and although a lot of them are good, a few of them caught my eye. One user said they used to Like Finish and tried Kirkland and...
