> skipping exhaust warmup during tests
Total aside, this is something that bothers me about my dishwasher. It has all the certifications for energy and water efficiency, but "for best results" the manual also recommends getting the water hot beforehand, by running the hot water in the sink. I wonder if the energy and water rating would still be as good if the dishwasher did that itself.
- zhte415 6y agoI have a dishwasher. My hands. Quite effective. Running water, sponge and soap. Takes less than 5 minutes. For hot water have a 180L solar water heater on the roof. Never paid for hot water since. It even works in freezing winters, -20C. I also have an awesome dryer that's lasted over 10 years. It's a thin rope across my balcony accompanied by some wooden pegs. Does the job every time. When it rains, have a rack.
