I think the long cycles are more related to energy efficiency regulations, most dishwashers default to a 3h 'eco' cycle with 50 degC, but also have a 1h 65 degC

The hot water tip does not apply in most parts of the world I think as the heating is done in the dishwasher (hence the temperature settings).
- krisroadruck 4y agoI wish HN had a forum signature like function so I could just put a "all of my comments written through the lens of living in the United States". Most US dishwashers require you to hook up to hot water supply line. Problem is since they only use a gallon or two of water, if you don't run the tap first you are very likely feeding it lukewarm water. There are indeed heating elements but they don't get the water up to temp immediately - so starting things off already hot tends to help.
