Is a dishwasher really easy to use? How about choosing a dishwasher for your home?

Since the renovation last year (the renovation was completed in 2018, the original answer was published in early 2019), I have purchased almost all the controversial cleaning products, including dishwashers, garbage disposals, cordless vacuum cleaners, and sweeping robots. , clothes dryer.

Results after 9 months of use: No regrets at all. Even my mother and grandmother, who are in their 70s, were skeptical at first but became very happy after seeing the effect.

“I must install a dishwasher after I buy a house.” The dishwasher was actually the only concrete fantasy I had about my future new home many years ago. How much of a shadow did washing dishes have on that child back then, even though he almost never washed dishes?

At that time, my mother’s thoughts were the same as those of most people: how can we clean the clothes and waste more water and electricity?

Two months after moving in, it was the Spring Festival. My parents came to have New Year’s Eve dinner. This was the first time they saw the work results of the dishwasher with their own eyes. After drying, she turns on the dishwasher and touches the slightly warm plate. This is probably her "really fragrant" moment. The dry touch of her palms across the plates told her that not only could the dishwasher clean the dishes, it could also clean them much better than most people could by hand. It’s cleaner than freshly opened sterilized tableware in restaurants, cleaner than what’s on supermarket shelves. That kind of cleanliness is what I call “absolutely clean on a macro scale.” There’s no dust, no fingerprints, no grease, no water stains, not even a trace.

Note:

The following questions and answers are only valid for built-in/stand-alone serious dishwashers with 8-13 sets. Compromise products such as countertop/sink/drawer dishwashers with a capacity of less than 6 sets are significantly different from large dishwashers in terms of capacity, washing, drying, and drainage. In the past, evaluations on video websites almost always used cheap countertop dishwashers in order to save costs. The results of these evaluations can only represent products of the same type. Dishwashers are considered useless by some people and this is often due to this product.

How clean can it be?

Machine washability = hand wash with dishwashing sponge + 99% no dead ends.

The difficulty of hand washing is that there are no dead ends. Even if there is a small piece of oil stain on a plate that is not emulsified and removed by the detergent, the entire plate will be slightly contaminated by water in the end. "Chinese people use a lot of oil when cooking, so dishwashers are not suitable for Chinese families." This sentence has always been a joke. On the contrary, dishwashers are best at removing oil stains.

Only those caked-on stains, such as severely burnt pots and steamed eggs, which require laborious effort to remove with steel wool, cannot be washed by hand, and indeed the dishwasher cannot help. Therefore, the pot will be burned when cooking. Families that have steamed eggs for three meals should be careful when purchasing. In fact, I also put the tableware for steaming eggs in the dishwasher as usual. If it doesn't work once, I just leave it and continue next time until it is clean before taking it out. After all, there is no shortage of this tableware, and it is impossible to wash it by hand.
