I bought a new one just this year. And yes, it does do a pretty good job.
But if you read the article, one of the complaints is that it takes a lot longer, and that is true for me as well. Way back in the 90s, I had a new dishwasher that was really cheap, and pretty noisy, but it would do a load of dishes in about an hour. My new one is 2+ hours.
Keeping the dishwasher quiet, which is a consumer demand, not a regulatory demand, affects your wash time. If you don't care about the noise, you can have a more powerful pump spraying a harder stream of water, and as a bonus, less sound-deadening insulation means you can cram more dishes in there.
- thiht 3y agoMy dishwasher takes 4 hours in eco mode but I don’t see how that’s a problem? I either run it at night when it has plenty of time to run, or right after lunch so that the dishes are clean when it’s time to prepare dinner. I feel like if you need them quickly, 1 hour would be too long anyway, no?
- deltarholamda 3y agoIf you've got a big family and cook a lot, you might run the dishwasher a couple of times a day. Not everybody's use case is the same. But would you accept 100% slower, or 400% slower in your case, if it was your computer?
- fouc 3y agoThink it's more to do with efficiency / eco reasons that it takes 4 hours. It soaks the dishes then turns off and waits, and does this multiple times. This minimizes the actual amount of work needed. It's not spraying continuously like an older dishwasher might.
