I assumed this was just a scam being pushed by dish soap companies in their commercials. I didn't think anyone actually ran mostly empty dish washers. Dish soap and water are not free, even if you consider them cheap. I usually run my full dish washer once or twice a week. A regular container of dish washer pods has a little more than 60 pods and cost $20. Ignoring the water cost and assuming I always wash it twice a week I'm spending at most $40 dollars per year on dish washing pods, usually less. If I follow your advice to the letter I'm running the machine three times a day, everyday so I'm spending $30 a month or $360 a year. Even once a day it's still $120. And ignoring the water cost. All to not have to unload the dish washer when it's clean or spend an extra 15 seconds checking when lazy? Total waste of money.
