Oh and as for the Whirlpool Powerclean, come on. I love that machine as much as anyone else here, but the world has moved on. Consumers expect quiet and they expect a tall tub. And the government (until the current administration at least) expects lower water usage. You can sing the praises of these machines all day in the Imperial forum but it's tiring to constantly see 40+ year old designs, even really good ones, talked about as the solution to all our appliance problems in 2025.
Dishwashers losing popularity in US Homes???

Goofy Glenn Strikes again!
I almost always eat all my food, unless I'm feeling ill. Occasionally I'll buy something that sounds good, but when I begin eating it, am not pleased with the taste. I recently got a can of baked beans that I thought I'd like, but the flavor was not something I cared for. I ate part of them, and threw the rest out. I now know not to buy them again. I like Bush's beans the best, and will get them from now on. I also got some Cheez-Its Smoky Cheddar, but didn't like them, so I gave them to my former neighbor kid when he was over.

And now you can also qualify to be chastized for wasting food by DADoES/Glenn.
I think this article is political BS trying to advance DT's anti-environmental agenda.
Everyone I know has a dishwasher and uses it on a daily basis. I grew up in a house that had one and have had one my entire adult life. It's an absolute nonnegotiable requirement wherever I lived. Mine gets used at least once daily and it's an emergency if it goes down.

Only because people pre-rinsed before, during and after the Power Clean. When tall tubs came along many people did not realize their dishwasher couldn't clean because dishes were already going in predominately clean.
Timeless classics do not have an expiration date. The logic displayed on this forum is parallel to society stopping the use of fire or the wheel in place of an inferior substitute because the both were discovered 2 millions years ago and 3,500 BCE respectively and the inferior substitute being drawn up yesterday. Actually if anything the fountain pumps used on modern dishwashers are at least 100 year technology.
I'd rather the holy grail have been discovered, invented and perfected 40 years ago then tomorrow let alone never. The discontinuation of the Whirlpool Power Clean Filter Module and Maytag Jet-Clean was marathon run in reverse.
I (and mom) didn't pre-rinse from the beginning with the family's first dishwasher, a KDI-17a. Rinse/Hold was run on accumulating loads at first, until I/we soon figured out that leaving the dishware wet-dripping with dirty water and the residual in the sump caused much more odor than not running Rinse/Hold. No more Rinse/Hold with any dishwasher since that moment, and no odor.
