Our Siemens has one of these low-temp cycles that washes at only 45C (113F). Bosch/Siemens/HomeAppliances "recommend" to use this cycle with Finish Quantum as its designed to work in cooler water. But I went ahead and used my Aldi powder, which costs about 1/4 of the Quantum.

I use it too... occasionally...
I just don't notice any difference in results with the other cycles and I don't bother to use a specific detergent for this programme. I use W5 tablets... maybe they are German... or are they? I get them from a German store (Lidl) anyway.
This cycle in my dishwasher (Hoover) foresees a very long cold prewash (I guess also in the Siemens)... I think that helps to soak some of those encrusted pans (like the ones you showed in the video) especially if you omit to soak them beforehand ;-) | ||

Congratulations on your new Siemens dishwasher. It seems these lower wash temperatures are becoming more common.
The new line of LG dishwashers in the United States have manual-clean filters and a wash temperature of 88-112 degrees (Fahrenheit) on the Normal cycle. The water heats to about 158 degrees in the final rinse. All of them are scoring lower for cleaning ability in tests by Consumer Reports compared to previous models. My LG model 9810 (purchased in 2010) heats to 140 degrees in the Normal cycle. It also has a self-cleaning filter. I have had my eye on the new model 9962, which is rated 3 decibels quieter than mine, but I don't want to risk losing the excellent cleaning ability.
