Years ago, we had 2 dishwashers. But we didn't find them convenient. Eventually, after years of being useless, we gave them away.
However, as time goes by, hands get tired, and technology also progresses (it's not at the level it was 30 years ago...), we decided to give it another try.
Blessed hour. We struggled until our new acquisition was connected because we are renters and didn't want to drill the cabinets. Finally, we found a way. I learned how to properly place the dishes inside, we added salt, rinse aid, and it worked. It took them out PERFECTLY!! The glasses looked like they were from the store. Shiny. The plates, sparkling. The various bowls and containers, which were my biggest problem, were shining. No trace of oil on them. No grease. Before, I would wash them three times each, and they wouldn't get clean. Now, they were sparkling.
The silicone utensils from the Air fryer, which would get ruined when cooking meat inside, were clean and dry. The cutlery, perfect. The coffee cups, which had the shape left by milk and coffee, were cleaned and shone.
And not in the 3-hour program. I put it in the 1-hour program, which washes them with warm water, and they shine. I add the tablet, and everything is OK.
I blame myself for not getting it earlier. It would have relieved me so much, years ago. It's not too big, in essence, it fills up all day, I put it on and it washes, I dry them a little (they have 1-2 drops), and I start filling it again. That's how it goes.
We are 2 people. I don't know if we were more if it would be enough for us. But it solved my problem with my hands. When I take them out and see them sparkling, I always say and bless: "Thank God we got it, and my hands got some rest!"
And I don't have to open the water heater every day anymore to wash them by hand, like before.
