“Alright. So here is the finished load. Everything is still relatively wet. Things don't dry super well. I will say that things don't really dry in the express load. You have to leave them for quite a long period of time, but for the purposes of this, I did open it just now. So the first thing I noticed is that everything is relatively wet still, but everything looks pretty clean. Even this whisk that did have a little bit of food left on it. So everything looks relatively good with the exception again of things being a bit wet.”

“I like that my Whirlpool gets my dishes clean. What holds it back is that sometimes I want to do a short wash, but the short wash does not have a drying cycle. So then if I do a short wash, my dishes will still be wet at the end.”

“The bows came out very wet. I was expecting maybe a couple droplets, but not if it's wet even then. Well, leaking from the top is, like, all the storage bowls are still really wet. The glass has got pretty good. They got nice and clean and dry, so that's not bad. It's just my storage bowls and my glass bowl got dry pretty good. It's just the plastic ware that did not dry.”

“No, even the bowl that I was worried about is clean. Nothing needs dried. Even the, I mean there's some water because I did a quick cycle, but the Tupperware that I was worried about being dirty is clean. I did expect some water because quick cycle doesn't have the drying times, but it's fine.”

“I don't think it's necessary to run a two hour wash cycle on the dishwasher. So I typically do express, and it does just fine. The Bosch is already a fairly quiet dishwasher. I made sure when I installed it on the remodel between three to five years ago. And then from a water perspective and energy perspective, I typically try to run the dishwasher before 4PM because the four to 9PM window is when energy costs are higher. And then, of course, from a water perspective, doing the express, I feel like it takes less water.”

“We typically pick express for all of our loads just because it makes it more quick. We use less water, I believe, although don't quote me on that. And we're able to get our dishes done more quickly. Since again, like I mentioned, we usually do at least one, sometimes two loads a day.”

“I don't really have any rules. Like I said, I prefer to wash my dishes by hand. But I would say the main rule is just to not overload the dishwasher and try to run it on the shorter cycle, the speed clean cycle, as opposed to the regular cycle because it takes about half the time. To me, it achieves the same goal and less time and with using less resources and less power.”

“I think it's primarily due to the machine and the settings. Because I used Express, it didn't have the chance to thoroughly dry. And I think that was the biggest impact. I don't think that necessarily the detergent or the additives had much to do with this. I think the waffle insert would have kind of ended up this way regardless.”

“Having the dishwasher run quickly is really important to me. There's a fast setting that runs in an hour and I feel like because we rinse our dishes and we often are washing baby products that have soap, Our sink often has a lot of soap in it. It's very clean. I feel like these dishes are not that dirty. If I were to have something like chicken or meat blood and utensils and things like that, then I would consider running the the longer run. But so having it done quickly is important to me and then obviously getting things as clean as possible. So these things aren't going in that dirty. So I know that this this wash will get them clean.”

“I will choose the express wash. I did rinse already with warm water. So once I get this going as soon as possible, the the express wash should be enough to get everything really clean, especially with the Cascade Plus pod. And I want to do this as quick as possible just so that I can unload the dishwasher, clean everything before we go to bed tonight to leave the kitchen clean for tomorrow.”

“So again, it's these bowls. It's like anything that seems to have kind of like a lip on there that can catch the water. I feel like that's really where it's the worst with our dishwasher and it's definitely frustrating. It seems to be like on every single thing that has any sort of bowl to it, it collects water. And I just don't think it gets hot enough or agitated to knock off that water.”

“Some of the top items have water. You can see on the lid. So I always have to take those out and dry them.”

“Yes. So this one actually is wet. You could see the dripping of water and it's wet inside. This is actually always wet when I wash it in the dishwasher. So I do have to hand dry this as well as some of the cups, like, right here. There's water on top.”

“But there's a lot of water left behind. I feel like this has always been, like, a frustration. It's just, like, this is really wet, and it's annoying having to go back in and, like, towel dry these after we're done.”

“So my first reaction is that everything looks clean. I don't see any food on anything. I do see water on top of the mugs and a little bit on the cups, which is to be expected. Little annoying, but not a super big deal. And then these look clean as well.”

“I will need to hand dry a couple of the pans or the one pan and some of the plastic that I washed.”

“I'm gonna have to dry this because there's water. I'm gonna have to dry that. I'm not gonna have to scrub anything. Everything looks fine. I'm gonna have to dry this one. The dishes in the back seem kind of dry. Like, some of the plates in the back are dry, but the rest, this, I feel like the bowls and stuff on the stuff on top seem kinda wet, some of them.”

“The biggest impact was, um, it was like how you open up the dishwasher and let it dry. The one hour wash was pretty much fine. Like, I don't think, I think it's time. Time impacts it like from being dry enough. So.”

“I wanna say it was probably just the fact that I did the speed clean, so it was half the time of the regular cycle.”

“I'm just always in a rush with kids and I also have that event tonight and so I'm trying to get this done. Had to watch my daughter do dance, come home, unload it and have friends over tonight.”
