I use my "top rack only" option frequently, and I'll put a few lightly soiled items in the bottom rack with excellent results. The lower arm operates a bit during the "top rack only" cycle on most machines. '
I should load both racks of the LG and then run a "top rack only" option to see what does and doesn't emerge clean from the lower rack...you know, just for fun, LOL. |

Suppose that would work for loads without bowls etc. If you look at older Miele manuals with the Top Solo option, they actully show how to load the botton rack with plates when using Top Solo.
I'd be also interesting to see how well today's dishwashers can clean a full load without using the upper basket's spray arm - like the old Kitchen Aids etc. did. Eugene, you have to run a "bottom basket only" cycle on high pressure with plates in the bottom and bowls/pots on the top - like in a vintage DW. I'm gonna have to try that one day in the Bosch...

The "top rack only" or "bottom rack only" option on my 2008 LG 9810 reduces cycle time by about 30 minutes, and there's usually only 1 or two water changes. The single rack option can be used with any cycle. You can add the Sanitize option, but not the Steam option when washing a single rack. I use the single rack option frequently.
