In what bizarro-world universe does a 4 hour cycle prevent dishes from being clean by the next morning? Does this family sleep for fewer than 4 hours at night?

> Developers squeeze kitchens into spaces where full-size dishwashers become luxury items rather than standard fixtures.
I mean, ok, but that's just depressing capitalism making everything shittier, not actually a personal choice people are rationally making for themselves on the merits.
> Meanwhile, your DoorDash habit means fewer dishes hit the sink anyway. When dinner arrives in disposable containers, that $600 to $1,200 machine starts looking like expensive counter space you’ll never reclaim...
It feels nuts to talk about a doordash habit in one breath and the cost of the machine in the next. A "doordash habit" costs more than the price of a top of the line new machine every year.
- Ekaros 1y agoWell here you are not supposed to run dishwasher or clotheswasher during night due to risk of water damage. They are supposed to be observed while operating.
- BugsJustFindMe 1y agoI have never heard of this, and I've lived in a lot of different countries. Where are you?
- Ekaros 1y agoFinland. This mostly comes from insurance companies. But both water and fire risks seems to exist. Even if they are somewhat rare.
- ceejayoz 1y agoEven with that, dinner at 6, bed at 10 leaves plenty of time. Or you use the speed cycle. I just pop a $30 leak sensor by my washer. The only water damage I’ve had was a broken pipe in the walls.
- AnimalMuppet 1y agoWhere do you find a leak sensor/alarm? I found one, 10 or 15 years ago. When I wanted one more recently, I had trouble finding one.
- rented_mule 1y agoMany show up on Google: https://www.google.com/search?q=leak+sensor https://www.google.com/search?q=leak+sensor and on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=leak+sensor https://www.amazon.com/s?k=leak+sensor
- margenotsolarge 1y agoA quick search tells me there's approx 1.5M households in Finland and 132M households in the US, where I am. Based on these numbers the US should have a lot more dishwasher fires (actual numbers - not per capita) if this were an issue. I've never heard from media or insurance companies that dishwashers are a significant cause of fire. By that argument you'd have to be home to use laundry machines, too. Water damage also can occur with laundry washers, hot water tanks, broken taps, and leaking pipes. It seems strange to single out dishwashers. These days, around the world, it seems like water damage is more likely to be from flooding from rain than faulty infrastructure. Is there something less reliable about Finnish appliances or infrastructure than the rest of the world?
- Ekaros 1y agoAppliances are generally fine. Most issues seem to be connections. Both water intake and sewage. Insurance companies really are the party that wants to minimise the damage. So they make extra careful recommendations. As quick reaction to water can save lot of costs.
- BugsJustFindMe 1y agoYou keep saying things like "supposed to" and "recommendation", but there's a quite large difference between a recommendation and a requirement. Which are we talking about here? An insurance company can "recommend" whatever they want but mine will pay for damages even if I'm not home when a leak or fire occurs.
