307kWh/a and 5 gallons are a lot. Nowadays there are dishwashers that use 2.2 gallons and 76kWh/a (assuming 0,46 cycles per kWh which I think is the DOE limit)

307kWh/a and 5 gallons are a lot. Nowadays there are dishwashers that use 2.2 gallons and 76kWh/a (assuming 0,46 cycles per kWh which I think is the DOE limit) and they clean a full load adequately.
Even the cheapest models should be able to meet the DOE limits and clean the dishes completely.
- danw1979 3y agoJust bought a new European made dishwasher which cleans perfectly at 0.55kWh / 2.2 US gallons per “Eco” cycle. But it takes 4 hours. The quick 65C cycle takes an hour but uses 1.1kWh and 10 US gallons.
- Klaus23 3y agoYes, the Eco cycle often takes a very long time. However, modern machines are significantly better than the DOE limits even on a one-hour cycle (I assume your machine uses 10 litres, not gallons).
