I can scan the 810 and 712 charts in a few hours. Might want to start another thread with this originally being a dishwasher topic.

I would be more than interested!

You want to start the thread or me? What should I name it?

I love my Fisher and Paykel double dish drawer. For just the two of us it works really well running smaller loads once or twice a day. Even on the quickly wash it gives great results. My biggest peeve is if I drop a spoon or something and it drops thru the rack it is difficult to retrieve especially if the rack is fully loaded. I could not go back to washing dishes by hand.

I've been told because I'm only one person household that I don't need all the pots and pans that I have or silverware and whatever else...... What I say though is that when I cook I also bring food to others when I can or I share it. I noticed those comments come from people who don't like to cook much.

So, you're only one person. What the hell does that have to do with anything? I am just one person. But I like to entertain. I often have 12 or more guests for dinner. I definitely need all the pots and pans, dishes, flatware and serving pieces that I have. My dishes have 24 full place settings. I would never try to tell someone how much of anything they need. And I would love for someone try to tell me what or how much of anything I should have.

I read that article, and conclude that it's just propoganda, spiced up with a decent helping of bullcrap.
If anything is going to increase sales of any appliance made these days, it's because they need replacing much more frequently because the stuff is made like a teenager's high school project - AKA junk.

That article also glamorizes "Smart" appliances, which many think is just another hunk of bait for the consumer to bite on.

Ya gotta love marketing these days... full of bullcrap.

I absolutely HATE being marketed at... the goal is to tout anything that might be seen as an asset, and utterly conceal anything that might detract, up to and including the point of lying in most cases. It's getting so bad that my employer's HR department thinks they can cook up any cockamamie notion to sugar coat something that takes money out of our pockets, and puts it into theirs... increasing our share of company car lease payments came with a tale that they "had to, because the IRS required it"... total nonsense with a straight face! They've been lying to customers for so long, they don't think we know any better, either...

Maybe "one person" and "marketing" mean a small, narrow 24" or a Ling-Temco...

I live alone and fill my dishwasher thru the week and its always packed full by Sunday night and I will run my 30 year Whirlpool. The dishes are clean and dry the next morning, and yes, I rinse off most everything before loading
