Dishwasher

My dishwasher is relatively new and it does a decent job but from time to time I'm unhappy with it. My biggest complaint is the noise, my dishwasher is very loud. It is a GE Nautilus...if I'm not mistaken, about 5 years old.

Yes, get's the job done! :) However, we did face difficulties because the damn thing was leaking all of the time, not because we we're opening it to soon because we did not, but it would just start leaking every instant. This happened to two of our dishwashers.. I'm not sure if it's a common thing but it can be pretty frustrating when your kitchen starts flooding every time your doing the dishes :S :P

I had a dishwasher for at least 5 years and I never really felt that the dishwasher got them clean. First of all, you have to pre-rinse the dishes. If it's just me doing it, it works OK, but the rest of family forgets to pre-rinse, they just throw them in, and then when you do turn it on the food is 'set' on the plates, whatever, and it seems to get baked on by the hot water. I never had an appliance that I didn't appreciate, but if I did, it would be the dishwasher. I had a portable and I gave it to my mother-in-law. Call me old fashioned, but I find doing them by hand gets them cleaner, and it just seems to be quicker. When I had the dishwasher, there was never enough dishes at once to run it, so I'd only run it once a day (instead of wasting water and dishwasher soap.) To me it just seemed like it was more work to do the dishwasher than just get them done by hand.

When we had a dishwasher, it rarely got the dishes spotless.

not always

I hate my dishwasher...There's nothing worse than having to wash your dishes BEFORE you put them in the dishwasher!

I dont have a diswasher, I never used it before. I had one when I used to live in apartment when I was in college but I always wash my dishes by hand. People I know use it but most of the times, I see some foods still stuck to the dishes and I hate that. It only me and my hubby so there are no use for dishwasher.

We have always had a dishwasher and then we moved and now we do not. It is annoying to have to do dishes but there is never any food stuck on them. When we had a dishwasher we had to prewash anyway

No.It wont be that much clean.In order to have it as somewhat acceptable cleanliness we have to clean it with towels or with water and then we have to load the washer.Oily and strong spicy dishes are usually cleaned by me.Further the consumption of water is also more when we go for dish washer

Yes because I'm the dishwasher. When I do the dishes they are clean. If my husband does them at least 20% are not fully clean. Not to answer your real question--we lived with my dad for 5 years and he does have a dish washer. It is an old one from the 70s (a lovely mustard yellow color) and it was okay at cleaning the dishes. I could usually tell what needed to be pre-rinsed before putting it in. Most of the time my stuff came out clean (cleaner then if my dad or husband loaded it). Of course they didn't understand the mechanics of loading it. If you have the bottom full there is no way for the water to get to the stuff on the top rack so of course that stuff wouldn't be clean. It was always a compromise of how full you can get the washer and how clean you want the dishes. The one thing that rarely got clean the first run through was the silverware. I would just run them through until they were clean or if it was more then like 4 times I'd finally just wash them by hand, lol. But if everyone would just rinse their dishes when they are done eating it would eliminate the whole problem.

we dont have dishwasher in our house.. :) my sister do it so for sure its 100% clean ..

I guess I am crazy.. I wash all the dishes to make sure all the food is off and just use my dishwasher to sterilize

i don't have a dishwasher but if i did i wouldn't use it because you would have to wash the dishes before you put them in so i think its a waste of time

yes, but it is still brand new

I dont have dishwasher. i use my hand

Not anymore it did when I first got it. I would rather do them by hand in very hot soapy water. Does your dishwasher get you dishes clean. Also, it depends on the type or brand of dishwasher you have. God Bless

Well in India Dishwashers are seen rarely. We still wash the dishes with our own hands or appoint a maid to do so. The dishwashers have come into the market only recently and that too only the rich can afford it.

It's brand new and works like a dream. Prior to its installation I was having to wash dishes by hand in the bathtub. We built a new house, and that's all that was hooked up at the time.

We live in an OLD apartment building with an OLD dishwasher. As long as the dishes are pre-rinsed they come clean. If there's any food stuck on, it stays stuck on.

Nah. I wash my dishes before putting them in the dishwasher. I think of the dishwasher as a place to santize them rather than to clean them.
