Interesting Very cool to see this in practice. I had imagined a dishwasher design that used vacuum insulation to reduce running costs. Of course, that may be a potential design in the near future. 

Overhyped The restrictions are annoying, but consider that they are for the Normal or EnergyStar Tested cycle with no/low soil. My new KA KDTM604 has the MicroClean design and uses 1 gallon per fill, but using Normal cycle with no options, and no/low soil sensed, that cycle will use 2.4...

SQ FL I really like these machines! However, the lack of a built in heater ruins it for me. I have been pampered with one and I am not willing to give it up! Sanitize with Oxi is just a 'hot' wash with the added power of Sodium Percarbonate. However, if there is no bleach activator, it may not...

Update Sorry to keep bumping this thread, however a few updates. The machine is still performing flawlessly. Pros:   -The 3rd rack noise has not occurred again. We love how we can place a minimum of 10 glasses up there to save space on the 2nd rack. Far more useful than the 3rd rack on the...

OP The Permanent Press cycle is actually a good one. If you do not dry clothes, from what I understand, there is a greater chance that the 'pills' are not fully removed after washing. If you even dry the clothes once, I would expect a noticable difference. However, a detergent with Cellulase...

Fridge The Samsung that came with our house has given us issues since the start. Thankfully, insurance is going to 'assist' us with buying a new one. We ended up buying a new KA because of our success with our old Whirlpool SxS from 2009. We never had an issue with it. For the reasons you...

Maytag Correct, to an extent. The Maytag does have a small removable filter, but will only catch large items. For instance, I have never had anything found in my filter. So a majority of items are pulled right through to the filter. The Maytag does have a '4-Blade Chopper', but won't really do...

suds Even with low sudsing detergent, with the residual wash water in the sump, the relatively high speed of the drum with rinse water should still produce some suds. Just shocked to see how there were hardly visible suds even with the rather anemic spray and spin combo.  The LG Towels cycle...

Fan Yes, the fan runs constantly for the 8 hours after the cycle is complete, except on Express Wash. It does not run at all, AFAIK. However, if heated dry is selected, the fan does click on with about 5 minutes or so left in the cycle, and proceeds to run for 8 hours. Selecting Sanitize...

Rinse The machine not draining enough after the interim spin is a big issue for me. Not to mention that the spray rinse sequence is pretty short here, but also it looks like the spray nozzle doesn't have the wide and fine spray pattern that it formerly had. Kinda disappointed. I really like...

PinkPower4 No, you read Combo52's post backward. Lol. He prefers that the heating element is separate. After owning the KA for around a month, I will not hesitate to recommend it. The Maytag versions should be great as well, though I know the 'chopper' has been a point of failure for those...

Doubtful I highly doubt that would happen. Whirlpool wouldn't have the ability to have true drying cycles as John said. Though, I'm sure if they raised the final rinse to 150ºF and used the fan to assist in drying, the machine would dry better than most Bosch machines, not including Crystal Dry...

ProWash Heated Dry OFF Ran a full lightly soiled load of dishes today. ProWash Heated Dry OFF, no other options. Used a bluetooth/wireless digital thermometer. Prewash 2:13-2:01 Mainwash 2:00-0:50 (reached 120ºF and maintained within 3ºF for remainder) Detergent dispensed within 1 minute...

Prewashes John, do you have one of these machines? The ProWash with High Temp as posted above is the only instance I have ever witnessed this machine perform 2 prewashes other than Express. Ran Normal with High Temp today and it performed 1 prewash, with 2 full post rinses. ~4.0 gallons. I...

Spray rinse mark_wpduet, the 'High' setting on Normal cycle will perform a final spin of anywhere from 1100-1255 RPM for only about 1-2 minutes. Whereas the 'Extra High" setting adds anywhere from 8-14 minutes of spinning at that speed. IF you need something washed quickly, this would be...

Sheets Weekly. Always in hot. I do the same for towels. Washcloths are one time use. All of my towels and sheets are white so that they will not fade, and I can use bleach if needed. I have never had an issue.

Duet I know I sound like the LGs are more of a hassle than they're worth, however they are far better than a majority of machines on the market. My Duet was kind of glitchy and had its own issues, though I absolutely loved that machine. If anything, it had personality. But, I might like the...

WM9500 I know exactly what video you are talking about. Lol. I will have to watch and pay attention to the spray rinses. I don't recall them being that long on my machine.

Egress Absolutely! Have you heard the 3rd rack whine? Currently using up a large stash of Finish Quantum from Costco. It cleans really well, and does not suds up like Cascade products do, however, I like the addition of Trisodium Dicarboxymethyl Alaninate in Cascade products. It helps quite a...

cycle times A majority of the time they fall closer to what appnut is claiming. If you increase the final spin up to 'Extra High' it will fall right at an hour. I have never had the Towels cycle take more than about 70 minutes on heavy soil.
