So it’s like the low flow shower heads where it takes twice as long if not longer to thoroughly rinse your hair out thus utterly defeating the purpose of “using less water”.
That’s what I got out of it too. Immediately thought of the King of the Hill episode with the low flow toilets.
You get what you pay for with everything. I have a 1.2GPM High Sierra showerhead that I love. It was fairly expensive for a showerhead, but it’s miles ahead of anything I’d get from Walmart or Lowe’s or whatever.
I’d imagine it’s the same with dishwashers.
They quoted GE in the article, as if GE (and actual GE, not just someone slapping the GE logo on something) is good at making anything anymore. I swear by a Bosch dishwasher. I’ve not had any trouble from the models I’ve had. They are low energy, low water usage, low noise, and they clean really well. This silly article and the other “deyre coming for muh dishwasher!” articles are nonsense.
Why not just use regular detergent instead of those pods? Put a little on the door, a little in the cup and watch the magic. Those pods don’t get the prewash with detergent and therefore don’t get the really tough stuff.
