Frigidaire Orbit Clean Dishwasher

"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.

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!
Yes,looks like the man with the Bosch was trying to electrocute himself as a byproduct of his attempted dishwasher destruction.The washer would destroy him!Guess he was running the dishwasher motor with the jumper cables-DANGEROUS!Get ready to fill out the accident report and death certificate.
The video description says that it has a broken control panel so they thought it'd be cool to destroy this one...

I love old Kitchen-aids and old G.E. Potsmashers..The Orbit-clean has me thinking about what would happen if I bought that
wash arm and added it to my project that I am working on with 3 wash pumps in it.I can get the wash arm and it would fit to
a old Frigidaire that I have...The Miele is a great dishwasher I have a feeling that video is kinda old from the looks of it...That
guy screwing around with the Bosch is a Moron and I expect to see him on 1000 ways to die show on T.V.That is so STUPID
BATTERY CABLES....

I just looked at the guy's page on YouTube, I don't think this guy's experiments will lead to great discoveries... I did play once in the backyard with a non-working Bosch dishwasher a friend gave me. But after some investigation, I found the problem, repaired it and it's been back in the kitchen doing the dishes since...
that video is kinda old from the looks of it
It's from 2005.

frigidaire cheese enchilada test
I can't see how these frigidaires will pass a cheese enchilada test! They will fail unless you use Cascade Complete! I use the citrus breeze in my Whirlpool Gold and it outcleans these frigidaires!
