Hang on to your old machine if you can

on February 7, 2016

Posted by: Alr213

We replaced a 15 year old machine with this one after reading reviews and looking at test ratings. First, know that all machines made today have to meet government "efficiency" stands, which means that they run three times as long as your old machine and use half as much water. No kidding: takes about 3 hours to run a normal cycle, more if you "sanitize." This unit is indeed whisper quiet, though, so you don't notice it running all that time. We decided on this unit vs. a Bosch because you can't get a heating element in a Bosch any longer. As far as cleaning results, not as good as the machine it replaced. The machine cleans by running longer cycles with dirtier water, so set your expectations. While most dishes come clean, every load has more than a couple that aren't. We're still playing with arranging the dishes and trying different detergents; maybe we'll hit the sweet spot. And even with the heating element, there's always moisture and wet dishes. Still, buy this one if you need one. The EPA has proposed new rules that will require future machines to use even less water and power. One can only imagine the results those will produce.
