If you already have the dishwasher loaded with the dishes before you leave for work, why not just run it then?

- datavirtue 5y agoBut that's not appy.
- Karunamon 5y agoOff-peak electricity pricing, not wanting to wake/disturb others with noise, not wanting to consume too much hot water before the rest of the house showers or uses the clothes washer...
- aldebran 5y agoMy 15yr old dishwasher does this with a timer functionality. This doesn’t sound like the strongest use case.
- stjohnswarts 5y agoYep, it's just a dial that lets me delay up to 12 hours lol. Overengineered hackable electronics. I'd rather than cost go into a more sturdy unit made of better materials. My dishwasher is 20 years old and works fine. The owner of the house before me said he did have one of the timer replaced at some point.
- PebblesRox 5y agoWe try to avoid running our dishwasher when our toddler is around because he will interfere with the cycle, but sometimes we forget to start it right before heading out the door. Remote start would be handy in a case like that :)
- SilasX 5y agoStill an overengineered solution -- a better feature would be some kind of access lock. Either a keycode or something requiring a lot of strength to remove. (Edit: With that said, I am reluctant to leave the dishwasher on when I'm not present for the first cycle just because of the risk of something going wrong that wasn't adequately checked for.)
- pueblito 5y agoI have a Bosch dishwasher which has the controls inside where kids can’t touch them. Plus it’s insanely quiet
- stjohnswarts 5y agoBut is it worth having yet another insecure & hackable device on the wifi when the manufacturer quits creating FW updates? Or ever even bothers?
- OJFord 5y agoBetter not to leave it too long after finishing IME, in terms of water marks and (after days/weeks, if you put it on before going away say) smell.
