"The trouble began in August 2017, when my boyfriend and I moved in together, and I quickly revealed myself to be an absolute ding-dong at loading the dishwasher." —Ellen Cushing for The Atlantic

@kallemp @geerlingguy @internetofshit OFC, for any "#aaS" setup that may be valid.
As for #dishwasher|s, even the industrial-grade ones used in canteens of universities or chemical laboratories ain't in such setups:
Seriously, I agree with @geerlingguy and I'll refuse to buy @internetofshit / #InternetOfShit devices.
There is no legitimate reason a #Dishwasher needs #Internet access or an #App.
Seriously, I'm just mad at this #Enshittification!
The internet of things means a relentless pursuit of progress. 
Have you ever notice how there's always more and more #computer in the #technouogy things surrounding us, but many of them utterly fail at being actually calculation machines? My favourite among all of these is when you want set your #dishwasher or #washingmachine to finish or start at a certain time. Some of the damn things even connect to the internet, but they can't figure out when to start if you want your washing to be done before 7 so you can put in the dryer before you leave for work 
The internet of things is truly a wonder.

Please help me settle this important existential question!
#Cutlery in the #dishwasher, should it go...
@anon_opin
While this is true, my household lost at least one very nice water jug (if I recall correctly a wedding present) and a cutting board (promotional present) to this attitude.
A lazy-fedi request.
My recent bread baking forced me to consider a countertop dishwasher rather than keep hand washing. Primarily to save 
After researching, I'm settling on this Danby. It is highly rated and a very good price. It is big enough to handle my larger cooking stuff. It uses 11.6l of water per wash which is far less than hand washing. Regular detergent. I have the space.
Any thoughts or comments?
Especially if you have one!

Pro tip:
Do not wash your dish before putting it unto the dishwasher. Rather, let the dishwasher do the heavy lifting, and then rewash by hand afterward.
That, folks, is how it was done in the kitchen, years ago, when I was working in a kitchen years ago. You want to know how the dishes always looked new, and super polished? That's how.
Interesting enough, working in a deli, years later, it was done the same way.

Installed my new #Bosch #dishwasher tonight. Let's hope its more reliable than the #Samsung I bought three years ago and has been repaired six times.
Our preferred #dishwasher detergent pods aren't available, so I'm looking for #recommendations for something that minimizes waste - trying to minimize plastics, landfill bound packaging, #microplastics, single use wrappers, and scents. We cook a lot and run the dishwasher 4+ times a week, it adds up, and have been using portioned pod-things for convenience, which is fine but just feels bougie and only adds a slight convenience.
Replacement Option A is basic Cascade powder in a cardboard box.
Replacement Option B is, at the suggestion from a r/zerowaste commenter, chasing down bulk powder detergent from a catering/restaurant supply company or similar.
#CambridgeNaturals in nearby #CambridgeMA offers Seventh Generation gel in a plastic bottle, and Blueland tablets listed on their web store.
However, in my search I learned that the #NorthEnd has a new-to-me #ZeroWaste shop called #Uvida, which has a bunch of #ecofriendly refill/#sustainable options in #Boston - and they have a powdered detergent in a brand I've not seen before, #RusticStrength: https://www.uvidashop.com/pages/automatic-dishwasher-powder-unscented-ingredients
I'll update if I find something I can offer as a #recommendation

My #lifehack for both clean dishes & longer lasting #dishwasher:
1 | visit your local animal shelter
2 | adopt a #dog
3 | love, train, and bond with them
4 | let them clean dishes after meals (ONLY in kitchen, NEVER at table)
5 | put dishes in dishwasher
6 | enjoy the unconditional love of a dog and clean dishes
This is a long shot, but I'm looking for help with my #Klarstein tabletop #dishwasher It's a refurbished Azuria Dishwasher 1380W and I only just received it. It turns on, but doesn't do anything else.
I filled the dishwasher salt and rinse aid as in the instructions, and the warning lights went away. I connected the inlet pipe to my cold tap and turned it on. I tried to run it empty for a short cycle as the manual said. Nothing happens.
Suggestions? #repair
New #blog: Dealing With #Dishwasher Tablets Leaving a White Residue On Glasses
In an attempt to reduce #environmental harm, we switched from using pods to #ecover tablets in the dishwasher
Unfortunately, everything came out covered in a white residue.
Not wanting to just give up, I did a bit of digging to figure out the cause and resolve it (albeit falling down a couple of rabbit holes along the way).
