Re: Reply #’s 29 and 30
Brian, I agree with you about the 1 hour cycle, it does work really well, and thats why I bought this dishwasher. I want to get things finished in a timely manner. And I never used all the various cycle choices on other dishwashers. So this one fits my needs perfectly. I will be having it repaired as its under warranty. As it stands now I’ll probably choose to continue doing the dishes by hand most of the time.
Rolls_rapide, I’ve thought about using the delay start, but then there is no way to run the hot water tap until the water is max. hot before the DW starts, so most of the initial water entering the DW would be cold, and these new DW’s really need to start with water that is as hot as possible. Also, when I get up, the last thing I want to do is unload a DW. I know, I’m anally retentive! When I leave my kitchen I want it to be neat, tidy and in order. The 1 hour cycle fits my needs best for a DW.
Ideally, we could still get DW’s like they made in the late 40’s and early 50’s that advertised completing the cycle in 30 mins or less. All the new appliances have cycles that go on seemingly forever, to conserve water. I’m just not the kind of person that wants wait for 2 or 3 hrs. for the dishes to be clean, and then when I’m relaxed, watching a movie or show have to get up and unload the damn thing. And if I don’t find doing the dishes by hand to onerous, thats a plus for me. If the DW hadn’t broken down last week I would probably never have rediscovered that doing dishes by hand is something that works better for me.
Everyone runs their own cribs differently.
