We built a new house last July so all of our appliances are brand new. I can't even begin to comprehend why our dishwasher takes HOURS to complete a cycle. My old house had a 15 year old kitchen aid dishwasher and it was done in just over an hour. It makes no sense.
A model 17 kitchen aide dishwasher, was built exactly the same as the Hobart commercial lab glassware machines. Like tanks. And every part was always available. The only difference in the machines was stainless racks versus plastic coated steel. And they would run for thirty years, and now they are collectors items. The model kd5, made I believe starting in 1950, were still repairable in 2000. Of course, they didn’t need repairs, but fifty years and still working. Cast iron wash arm, weighed about 12 pounds! Lol
We had to replace our dishwasher a few years ago. Bought a Beko which was made in Turkey. Works great, and does have a short 18 minute cycle that works well for light stuff. A one hour for pots and pans.
Because the EPA keeps mandating washers and dishwasher use both less energy and less water. You can pick one, but not both if you want them to work as intended.
The one my parents have you need to be careful of brushing against the top below the counter edge b/c its touch screen will turn it on and it will start doing something - I think its a Hal 9000 model 🙄🙄🙄
WHY does the dishwasher take so long now!?!!

Lol. I pretty much wash my dishes before putting them in my dishwasher so I can use the quick wash feature. 33 min vs 120+ min on normal wash.

Figures... government regulation will be our downfall. Also, the water pressure is lower now too, isn’t it?
It saves water by burning electricity.
My mother asks the same thing!
My husband changes the cycle length on ours, to an hour. Everything is very clean. We also don't use the dry function - we just open it up.
We do that as well.
It’s damn ridiculous! This current one, 6 years old takes a couple of hours. What the heck... we have things to do, come ON.

Hal 9000, lol. That’s a cultural reference for sure!
