Mark Patter sounds. Likely water in the outer drum being sloshed around. If occurring with spray rinse, water is coming in via bleach dispenser as well. Though, he is right that the pump is not always draining in this process as well.

Cycles I know I have said it a lot here, but I am not a big fan of TurboWash. Rinsing suffers. The whites cycle is great overall and is what I use 90% of the time. No extra hot as previously stated. “Hot” on my model is 45°C. I have found this to actually be good enough for most loads, though...

Duet My Duet had weird quirks. It had a suspected bad control board within 1 year. It was fine for a number of years. It towards the end did not like to spin more than about 400 rpm on final spin. There was a work around, but required babysitting the machine. I couldn’t find an explicit...

WashTower I have used one on multiple occasions, and I find the machine great. Though, others do highlight some key downfalls such as limited cycle selection (unless you have the app handy) and some quirks. The Normal cycle is not my favorite, but Bright Whites is actually a great alternative...

Sanitize Sanitize should boost main wash temp and final rinse as stated. Based off the older machines, AutoSense should be very flexible, and I would not be surprised if main wash temp is based off of soil level now that Normal has merged with AutoSense. Boost formerly just added 5°F to main...

Miele I have read a few reviews of poor performance with newer Mieles. I understand the express option uses more water and overrides soil sensing, though I am not sure this is helping the situation. The ‘Auto’ or Sensor cycle should be pretty good, though should clean better with 2nd interim...

stains The picture doesn't do it as much justice as it likely does in person, though the stains in the first pic are certainly visible, the second and third looks like there are some pit stains? That would be an odd spot if you are wearing an undershirt. I do second running a higher temperature...

water level Do all the cycles do this? For instance, whites cycles generally use a little more water and more accurate water temperatures.

spin speed My machine alters spin speeds on its own as well. Extra High on Normal can vary from 1011 to 1258 rpm. The smaller the load size, the quicker the machine spins in my experience (yes, that is correct). Time seems consistent. Whites and Sanitary seem to run 1098 rpm on Extra High...

cycles <span style="font-size: 12pt;">The Normal cycle is something you should avoid for the most part.</span> The Whites cycle is actually a great alternative. You can reduce the soil level down to light and still have great results. It does use slightly more aggressive tumble pattern, but...

Thomas I am interested. If you need pilot machines for people to test, I would actually like to do that. Though, I am worried about price cutting, but I understand the target market.

Largely true, though exaggerated. New dishwasher main wash and final rinse temps are too low. Most people run the Normal cycle and largely scrape and rinses dishes to the point that the sensor machines won’t run a more aggressive cycle. As others have said, no more chlorine bleach in...

Frigilux Frigilux- Really? I am shocked by that. Usually I notice a fair bit of decline with anything less than warm/40°C. It doesn’t look like they have reformulated them recently either (thankfully). David- I will say, the Persil Sensitive is quite good. I can’t say if performance decrease...

Powders & Persil Not sure testing powders would do them any justice, though. Since they are tested in cold/cool water at 75°F, most powders would not perform nearly as well as liquids at that given temp. If they were tested in warm or hot, that’s were the power comes out. Side note, I was...

Heated dry time It depends. Adding Heated Dry can add anywhere from 8 to 24 minutes in my experience. Extended pro dry is about an additional 20-30 minutes on top of that.

Tide powder Odd enough. I am getting sick of the Tide Oxi pods and Tide White and Bright Oxi liquid we have now. Just way too strong. I can’t stand that the only good scent Tide (P&G for that matter) is Mountain Spring Tide powder. Now that they stopped making Persil Odor Fighter, I really...

1 year update For people who have followed this thread and dishwasher design, I wanted to give an update to you all. After owning and using this machine for the last year, I can safely say that this is the best dishwasher I have ever used. I have yet to have anything come out of the machine...

Likely underfilling Very well could be an easy fix. I would check the inlet valve screen first before replacing it. However, it might be worth checking the bearing for the lower spray arm as well. Mine was bad initially and caused the machine to have poor wash performance, though shouldn’t...

Want? Oh yeah I want it. Though, no space... Praying it goes to a good home.

V35A While these engines are having serious issues, Toyota is actually recalling them and fixing them. Certain manufacturers would never do this. They are actively trying to fix this from happening by doing the recall. If anything, that does build more confidence back up. I know a few that have...
