Time to Buy a Dishwasher and Boy Have They Changed! EPA ruins dishwasher tech
4.28.13 | chickensoup

Posted on 04/28/2013 5:06:58 PM PDT by Chickensoup

It is time for a dishwasher. My last dishwasher was replaced three times by the manufacturer before I ripped it out and started handwashing. time to go back to dishwashers and I cannot find a timed dishwasher, just ones that are ENERGY EFFIEICENT with sensors.

The biggest problem I had with the newer untimed dishwashers is that I would have to rinse the dishes instead of scraping them.

the second problem is that because I did not rinse them, they ran for six to eight hours becaus there was debris that the sensors picked up.

Lousy design.

I am looking for a good dishwasher, that can actually be effective and clean the dishes now that the EPA doesnt permit us to have phosphates. Or timed washes.

Any war stories? Most of the dishwasher reviews out there aree actually paid ad reviews placed by an agent of the manufacturer.

Forget consomer reports.

I miss my prewash cycle. Ole Randy passed away a couple of years ago.

I need to get another dog.

But someone somewhere in the bowels of washington at the EPA is making their target goals.

So I can listen and talk on 2 meters and 440MHz on the ham radios that I have mounted on a desk in the kitchen. Why else?

Some of the European dishwashers are definitely superior due to the fact that they heat much higher than American dishwashers. Without the phosphates higher heat temps are required to actually clean.

Commercials come in many types, sizes and feature sets. The ma and pa has a different setup than the banquet hall.

You can get in the tub first...you don’t have to wait ‘til it starts filling. Just get in and close the lid. It’s all computerized...no more choosing the water level.

It’s irritating to me because I liked to put the soap in the water. Anybody who put their hands in otherwise, deserves to have happen what would happen.

I’ve never heard of anybody losing a hand to a clothes washer.

I am seriously considering selling my house and moving onto an electricity free home.

I was told by the epa fool back in 1994 that warm and hot rinses were not permitted. I had to jury rig them.

Lowes told me that I could order a trash compactor. They dont keep them on the floor but that they are still availble.

Is that a bunny in the dishwasher that the dog is licking.

Do you often dishwash your bunnies?

Got my first license 40 years ago, back when you had to go to the FCC to take the test.
