Quotes
“Well, I noticed like this pot here has water on it, which I'm not happy with. It looks like most things got clean off pan. As you can see on this one, the oatmeal did not come out, so I'm probably going to have to hand wash that. This pot did come out, but something with the oatmeal, it does not come out. I noticed, oh, this is fine. I don't like the Boosted keywords, Boosted keywords, Boosted keywords,”
“Alright. I am opening it up. Oh, Jesus. Okay. Well, this this always happens. All the water tends to okay. Well, there's still some food there. The other bowls look pretty clean, but, yeah, that is gonna need to be rewashed. I don't know what happened there. Okay. That looks cleaner than I thought it would. Yeah. First reaction was definitely I saw that piece of rice right there. I got the knives pretty clean. Let me look at sometimes food gets caught or like something gets caught in these ones, but it looks like these are all pretty clean. Yeah. That looks good. That looks good. I'm I'm pretty happy with this.”
“So my first reaction is I think that everything came out looking pretty good, pretty clean. Just going to take some of this out. Yeah, there's no stains on the coffee mug that was there before. And then this plate that I showed earlier, there's no stains there or food residues. So I think everything looks really good. There is a little bit of residue left in this bowl, which I don't know if I expected it or not, but I might have to run that one again. Just that bowl. And then as far as the silverware, everything looks good. I don't see any residue Overall, I think it did a pretty good job.”
“If there was no residue left on any of the dishes, that would have been completely, you know, met my expectations. It's not a big deal with that one bowl. I can just run it again or maybe just hand wash that one bowl. But everything else looks pretty good. That's the only thing I noticed that still had a little bit of food residue left on it.”
“So I think I didn't rinse it off before I put it into the dishwasher enough maybe, and it could be the detergent as well. It is like an off brand detergent, but it does a pretty good job. It's not gonna get everything, especially if stuff's been kinda caked on there for a little bit, which was probably the case with that bowl. Had it just been put in there, you know, sooner, I think it probably would have gotten removed. So, you know, it's not a big deal. I can always hand wash it later or I could run it back through again whenever I do another load. So nothing to be too concerned about. I think it did a pretty good job.”
“I'm trying to make sure that it's not gonna come out with stuck on cooked on food, you know, because, basically, after it goes through that hot water cycle and then it goes through the drying cycle, it basically bakes the food on. And my experience has been that if I don't rinse everything super thoroughly so that it looks really totally white and clean, then later I'm gonna have little dried on bits that just don't come off. So it really sucks.”
“I like to scrub everything off first because I talked about the residue, and it just saves me some time later, especially if I have to pull something out of the dishwasher after it's done, and it still got stuff caked on it. That's one reason I rated it a seven out of 10. It has nothing to do with the smells, but it is a habit. It's something that, you know, when I grew up, the dishwasher did. So I've seen it again or have started seeing it recently. So I just try to do my due diligence, spend an extra twenty, thirty seconds, and, you know, save that hassle later.”
“Sometimes I feel like on the small plates, I there's sometimes residue of eggs because I like to make scrambled eggs on a plate, and I put it in the microwave. And sometimes that might stick to the plate even after I wash it. And just sometimes if I don't separate the forks and the spoons from the same sections, they sometimes don't come clean.”
“So this is a relatively new dishwasher, and I would say that I'm very satisfied with it because compared to our last dishwasher, it does an amazing job. So anytime I put dishes in, they almost always come out clean. I would say the only time that they haven't is if something is, like, incredibly caked onto it. Like, I just haven't let it soak enough, but I would say it still handles it a lot better than our old dishwasher. So therefore, I'm very satisfied with it.”
