About women and dishwashers !

[Doughboy]

We have the Fisher Paykel dishdraws and love them. As for stuff that is not dishwasher safe when the old girl is not watching I shove 'em in and if they make it out alive they are d/w safe if not they head for the eternal d/wer in the sky. If she finds out I just say well go and buy something that does go in the d/w to replace it. Eventually I will work my way through the rubbish.

And no matter how good your d/wer is I have not met one that does not have a bad wash every now and then, unless of course you wash things before puting them in the d/w.

No problems with our Dishwasher.

I showed the wife how to load after a few times all is smooth for the last five years and its a cheap Chinese model about $350 on sale thought that if its cheap then we can replace it in a couple of years when it gets a bit dated and smelly.

We had a problem with the dishwasher after about two weeks when we brought it, a part needed replacing under warranty.

When the guy came out the following day he looked in the dishwasher and and said you don't rinse before you put ya stuff I the dishwasher, I said I wouldn't have bothered buying a dishwasher if I had needed to do that.

He laughed and said yep mate no need to rinse thats why it has a bloody filter but people cant work that out for some reason, I asked why they put it in the instructions to rinse he answer was that people don't clean the filter and end up killing the pump and want to blame the manufacturer, so this way if its clean when it gos in the filter will stay clean and no problems, he advised the wife if you clean it once a week you wont have any problems and we haven't.

Oh forgot to add, put my socket kit and spanners through one weekend when the wife was away they came up so beautiful and clean it was amazing, got the idea off that TV commercial when the guy put his rocker covers from his car in the dishwasher.

My SWMBO hates dishwashers, always has. In our previous houses we always had one but she always hated them. Same reasons as Groggy, as well as she reckons they take more time to load and unload than doing the dishes in the first place. Then after you have loaded the thing you still have to make soapy water to clean the sink and bench tops, and clean the various bits that aren't "dishwasher safe".

This is true, however the other value of a dishwasher is that you can store clean plates in them without having to put them away, taking from it.

Out of sight, out of mind.

Out of sight, out of mind.

And the extra value comes from having two dishwashers. Move the plates from one to the other, with the meal in between.

Seriously folks, how hard is it to load a dishwasher properly so that ALL the dishes get washed

Why don't women understand the principle that, for a dish to be washed, water must be able to get to it.

Fair dinkum it drives me nuts.

Maybe another instructional video is called for.

Gumbo, you are treading very shaky ground here. I have had much the same experience and in the end decided to simply let nature take its course. Now she loads the DW as she pleases and I later rearrange everything when she is absent from the kitchen. Much more peaceful this way.

, the minister looked at me very seriously and said:

"It's lovely tonight isn't it, as she sinks in your arms. Just remember after tomorrow it's your arms in the sink."

I never forgot that!
