Joe, all I can tell you is my experience. I am know for being pretty brutal for dishwasher loading on this site. I eat oatmeal for breakfast. Bowls sit for up to 7 days before they are washed. I use Cascade Complete and Smart Wash cycle. No trace of the foot. Same with pots used to bil rice and I've been known to have the rice cook partially dry with about 1/2 an inch of rice left on the bottom of the pan. I don't touch the pan. It gets dumped in the dishwasher. Again, clean pot at the end of the cycle. Throw a baked pasta cassarole dish in there untouched, CLEAN. My dishwasher is essentially the same one as what I suggested, mine just has a heavier sound insulation pad and a different control panel. I've been amazed because earlier versions of the whirlpol Tall Tub produced dishwashers were far finnikier in loading needs. I've only had one cereal bowl not come out clean recently and it's because I put it in the top rack and had another bowl too close to it. I usually put the bowls in the bottom rack. I essentially have abused this dishwasher by some people's standards. I couldn't live with a dishwasher (European) where you had a filter to clean because my excess food soil would be trapped in there every load. I don't believe in rinsing and I barely scrape at best. This is how I've washed dishes since 1984 when dishwasher really got on the ball!!
