“Sure, so we are using this finished Jet Dry and Rinse Aid. It works really well on making sure that the dishes get dry and there aren't any water spots left over. At some point I had attempted to just use vinegar, you know, to try to get some chemicals out of our home, but with this particular dishwasher brand it was not getting the dishes dry and leaving water marks. So we called a plumber and they said it's not going to work and that we actually have to use a a legit rinse aid.”

“This was my first time ever having to buy Rinse Aid. Like I said, I got this dishwasher just recently in October, and it took me about a month or so to realize that that's probably what I needed, why my dishes were still all wet even after having the dry boost on.”

“My previous dishwasher, even though it was older and starting to kind of fall apart, I never had to use rinse aid. So that's probably the biggest thing for me. This one, I do have to use rinse aid.”

“And I usually put a high temp wash and Sani rinse on just to make sure everything comes out dry because I don't like to spend the extra time using a towel or paper towels to dry everything.”

“I honestly think it's a combination. I think that I just did the normal settings. I do think that if I done the dry boost, the extra, it might have had a little bit more time in there to dry, so it might not have had as much, but I think also using the additives of that rinse aid or the dry aspect of it that that really helps, dry a lot of it.”

“And I like the high temp boost and heat it dry because then my items come out spotless.”

“The setting that I put on there is the dry setting as well as the quality of the pod, the Cascade pod, all help. Plus, I ran it on heavy cycle.”

“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.”

“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 did expect some water because quick cycle doesn't have the drying times, but it's fine.”

“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.”

“I don't think it was about the placement. 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. Also, the dishwasher itself wasn't fully packed with items. And so I think there was just more space for the water to kinda go around as it did. But like I said, I mean, it's just a bit of water. Most of it, you could just sorta kinda dump into the sink and just put here on the drying rack. So that's what I plan on doing. But, yeah, I mean, it's great when they come out and they are bone dry, but also seeing that water there just kind of it solidifies, at least for me, that the dishwasher did what it needed to do. My main thing for the dishwasher is for it to wash the dishes for me. The drying is just an extra added bonus. It's not something that I expect for them to be dry like the Sahara. Because if they were, I guess I would wonder if the dishwasher were actually doing its job in cleaning the dishes. So because I can see the water there and I can see that the steam that came out, I know that the dishwasher did its thing, and that's really my main concern.”

“we've tried to use eco or quick cycle and I feel like they never seem to work as well.”

“They do not feel dry at all. I literally just opened it so usually I let it air out a little bit. Still pretty wet, pretty drenched. Extremely wet. I sometimes do a plate warmer but I didn't do it this time. So this is just normal air dry.”

“I like it because it mostly cleans the dishes, and so and I always think it's clean afterwards. I don't love it because the dry setting doesn't work very well. So usually afterwards, the dishes are still pretty wet even when it's been on the dry setting.”

“The machine and its settings, it just doesn't dry dishes very well.”

“Our dishwasher does not dry very well at all, but I do find that this helps.”

“I'm using the finished, dry rinse aid, and I usually use this, aid used to keep the glasses from having spots on them. And I use this because I can get it at bulk at, like, Sam's Club, and I find that it usually works best. And most dishwashers, I think, is partnered with this as well.”

“This is what I'm using, the Walmart Great Value Rinse Aid. I'm using this because it's simple, it helps that the glasses and plates don't have water spots on them, and I found that it's very adequate.”

“Maybe that things were pre-cleaned, but for me, I'm having issues more not cleanliness of the dishes, but around the additional dampness on the dishes. It's inconsistent.”
