I think the machine in the video needs to see Joe Theismann for some betasito sterol for a stronger stream then maybe it could get a good night's sleep instead of staying up half the night trying to wash dishes with a weak stream. I think the drain pump on one of my front loaders could do just about as well as whatever toy is inside one of these machines. What I don't understand is why they went to the taller tubs when they knew the water use was going to be cut. If they had stayed with the regular size machines, they could have had a tub bottom that was high enough off the floor so that it could slope to a deep place where the pump could have had enough water over the intake to develop a good head of pressure.

There's another video of these. However, it sure looks like a true demo dishwasher, as I don't think the spray arms ever run at the same time. Might also show the TimeSaver or ProBoost option, though, which increases pressure by 40%. Be that as it may, looking at our consumer magazine - AEG/Electrolux is still outdone by BSH and Miele in cleaning performance.

The first vid
Where I live, it rained harder today for 3 continuous hours than the spray in that first vid. Pathetic.
Would like the the manufactures to show the inside action while the DW is loaded with dishes...this would give a better reflection of the actual action being delivered.
Thanks for posting the vid.

But Jerrod, you have to admit that the rain was falling down and did have gravity on its side while the DW did not.
Another "Sprinkle Wash" machine!Not impressed!The rain or your garden hose would do better.Heck,maybe the new dishwasher would do better if they just used the pressure of the public water supply rather than the "phono motor" pump.Won't be buying a new dishwasher anytime soon.I wondering if you ran one of these sprinkler machines with the door open--it might not even get the floor wet.
Apparently I see something different. The AEG in the last video has a system that pauses the rotation of the upper arm intermittently. You see the lower arm accelerate and it sprays much higher and harder when it does that. With longer cycle times there is a decent amount of time that the dishes and pots and pans get a good amount of water that way.
"You see the lower arm accelerate and it sprays much higher and harder when it does that."
That is what I meant. Could be a demonstration of the ProBoost option that increases the pressure by 40%.
Here's a Miele in comparison

And a Bosch - kind of...
Thanks for sharing!
BTW, you can post the link in the threads nowadays, just put them in with the text, then they automatically imbed.

I know - but it doesn't work if you want a video to start at a particular spot (in my case 3 minutes and 27 seconds)...
give me a
50 gallon/ minute KA 14 anyday. Thats pitiful and not necessary.

"and not necessary"
It looks like the whole world has decided we need more frugal dishwashers. 50 gallons per minute requires a lot of water in the sump. I'm afraid there are not enough classic KitchenAids in the world to give all people dishwashers that use lots of water.
Personally I'm happy with my new Miele. It makes everything sparkling clean, although it doesn't use 50 gallons per minute.

Lets do a quick comparison
Between all these 3 hour drip and soak machines to a real dishwawsher. This is a KA with the WP powerclean module in it. Notice the difference? It would eat any DW in this thread for lunch.

even in reverse
don't you love how the KA dishwasher pumps more water in the reverse mode while it is draining than most of the newer ones we've seen when they are "washing".

"just put your dishes out on the lawn or porch and hose them with your hose!"
A friend in Atlanta used to have fabulous pot luck holiday parties years before he got a dishwasher. Everyone brought food, but left drunk and forgot to take their casseroles with them. I do not drink so I was there to help him clean up. One year I was so fed up with the sea of dirty pans that I carried them out into the back yard and took the hose nozzle to all of them to blast away the residue. I squirted some detergent into each and left them to soak.

I like these water-throwers, but like Louis said: my Bosch will double-wash, double-rinse and dry a packed load in 75 minutes - quietly and without needing ten+ gallons to do the job. 10 more minutes will get you a third rinse and heat the wash and rinse to over 160F.
Of all the modern built-in units, Miele Professional pumps 50 gal. a minute.

I think one of those impellor-propellor dishwashers would be better than those "drool" models anytime.
What is with the video clip involving the Bosch dishwasher with the door open and the brick in it?And the jumper cables?Don't get what this guy was trying to do.

I guess he saw videos of people throwing bricks in clothes washers while they were spinning to destroy them and he thought throwing a brick in the dishwasher might have the same spectacular effect!
FAIL!
Not too impressive behavior but at least, he didn't try to drown or electrocute a cat in it or to figure a way how to make a bomb or a firearm using parts from the dishwasher as other kids do... Or if he did try it but I bet he failed!
Maybe he later tried to fill it with gasoline and burned some grass, his camera phone and himself too when it finally ignited...
If everybody with really bad intentions/ideas would be so limited in their minds, we'd probably live in a safer world where these people would be a lot more dangerous to themselves than to others!

Tomturbomatic-Sounds like the hose idea works!Good way to clean a yard full of dishes!
