Right, most repair and reviewers note that if you buy good detergent and rinse-aid, modern dishwashers work great! But if you're doing what folks used to do with cheap detergent, never cleaning out the filters, and such, then you're going to get bad results because of the changes in the industry over time. And honestly it's not that much more to opt for detergent with enzymes. We personally skip the rinse-aid and haven't had an issue.
