Designer price for a "builders model" machine? |

Another clue that this is not a quality purchase is those builder-grade cabinets. Those are the ones my house came with (and are STILL there) ....so don't anyone get offended, please! Sady this POS DW probably does a better job than my tall-tub KA! BTW=> I bypassed the door safety-switch and ran the KA machine with the door open. You guys were NOT kidding when you said it is barely a P*$$ stream of water. The water spray barely exited the machine. Sad. So sad. |

I could not belive that!!! But then again, someone may be fool enough to pay that, but somehow I kind of don't think so.BTW, is the shipping right? That is alot of money for something that is not that special in the first place, and then all of that shipping on top of that.That does not include having it hooked up. I noticed the cabnets Tog, and no, they were, as to be expected sadly, nothing special. I like my old vintage KA.<-------that is a dishwasher!!

back a few years when we got our Triton XL, i tried to run it with the door open too. Now GE has reduced their water pressure too, but needless to say, running the XL with the door open was a DISASTER, and i was sorry for doing it when i had to mop up, floor to ceiling, a 5ft. radius around the machine; as well as change my clothes. i never did that again. |

I have kept quiet about the showers of power for the last few weeks, but must add - my Miele is also very stingy with water, sprays very delicately - but still got the highest rating for cleaning and water and energy use the consumer's guide (Stiftung Warentest) gives over here. It certainly isn't as weak as what you are describing, but there is no doubt that it is the heat, time and enzymes in the detergent (which Miele insists upon, no "traditional" detergents) which do the cleaning. As long as the water spray reaches everything in the machine there is no need for it to be especially strong. And mine cleans right into the very corners. This is not a defence of modern KA dishwashers - they are indefensible from all I have read - but a thought on the subject. |

just slotted into place! I had wondered why GE was "strongly suggesting" the use of Cascade Complete. It's because of the enzymes! Thank you for the insight, Keven! Lawrence/Maytagbear |

Apparently the seller is WAY out-of-touch with reality... |
