Found this video of a current KitchenAid online. Nice wash action.
And this is very cool: they put a pizza in there (and a Burrito). Some observations: - It seems they ended the cycle after the wash, as there are only two fills (prewash and wash). - There was also no detergent added. - I wonder why the dishwasher didn't add extra water when the pump stopped sucking in water. I know load-sensing machines would have added more water until they sensed a uniform pump speed. - Seems this filter design doesn't allow for any larger particles (dough) to pass through to the drain pump. I'd really like to try that with my dishwasher. It sucks stuff like peas, corn etc. out during the drain sequence and flushes the system, if needed. | ||

So much about "garden sprinkler"... I mean, though the cycle was obviously not appropiate to the soil level, it did a pretty good job. Oh, and, I guess the myth about the lack of spray pressure in HE DWs is finaly busted. I mean, "barely hitting the top of the tub" looks completly different in my opinion. And recognized it got a manual clean filter? | ||

My kenmore operates both spray arms and the bottom arm hits all the way to the top with no issue. These are good machines and i think these could last a pretty long time. | ||

Yes, KitchenAid still uses the HydroSweep, although it's now more shaped like an X versus the old +.
I would like to see an EU Bosch or Miele do this same thing with a pizza
But Jerrod, you know how to set your LaPerla to EU mode via the service menu - go ahead then! ;-D Click the link below to see a Miele spraying with door removed: CLICK HERE TO GO TO logixx's LINK | ||

Am I the only one not finding anything impressive in that pizza and mexican burriton thing?
My indesit and any proper machine would chew that pizza if not lift it up directly in seconds seriously how can someone find those lazy sprays that good? It took alot just to wet it...see fractions in the video and it's not even an italian pizza but an american style spongy one that melts like butter as it meets water. And in both videos you clearly see those sprays don't really reach everywhere and are lazy! | ||

The test is simply useless, you're not alone in this. There are way better ways to test the performance of a dishwasher.
Here is a video about testing dishwashers: Tiny sprays aren't that bad. It's not the power of the spray that cleans the dishes but the combination of detergent and temperature of the water. It's different from a washing machine, where the mechanical action is part of the process. That's why dishwasher detergents are way stronger than laundry detergents. | ||

Back when the Whirlpool Power Scour cycle for pots and pans was introduced, they would put a Whopper or Big Mac still in the paper wrapper in the lower rack and the dishwasher would eat the whole thing without even belching at the end of the cycle. | ||

Uncooked Pizza Etc In A DW This is one of the most ridiculous demonstrations I have ever seen, the only thing it shows is how messy filter type DWs can get, Leaving Cheese behind really.
Hi Louis, Water pressure, delivery, spray patterns are really important and one of the three most important parts of great DW performance, In fact I have never seen a DW that did a great job with weak spray patterns and poor distribution. All things being equal the bigger the jets and the higher the pressure the better the DW will work.

 Neither of those videos demonstrated anything to me other than what I already know about these machines, and I'm glad I'm not the only one that feels that way. It's humorous that AV, or whatever these people call themselves, considered this a win on the dishwasher's side. Hell, the thing took the full hour just to get it out of the rack, only because it had been soaking wet long enough to break down the dough, and for the last sped-up 30 minutes, the machine couldn't even spray water because of the clogging. The PowerClean, or any dishwasher worth having, would have disentegrated the thing during the prewash and it would have been down the drain where it belonged. | ||

John,
Pressure on it's own never has removed baked on stuff. It's the chemicals that remove that. I understand why so many people like lots of water in dishwashers, it makes them faster indeed. But in the end it boils down how much water with detergent is sprayed on the dishes. Modern dishwashers do that with less powerful sprays but for a longer time. I'm probably cursing in the church here, but many modern dishwashers do a good job, it is the same as in the past, there were good and there were not so good dishwashers. | ||

I've had the GE for over a year and have never had to clean the large flat filter screen on the floor of the machine. The cylindrical filter gets a quick rinse under the faucet every 2-3 weeks---and there's never much on it. I was not looking forward to owning a dishwasher with a manual-clean filter, but it's been no trouble at all.
Having said that, I read somewhere there's a self-cleaning filter (as opposed to having a grinder) on some forthcoming machines. | ||
