Update: did not realize the top of the machine was dented, looked at it this morning, 2-3 love taps with the mallet, and the top sprayer is where it's supposed to be |

This doesn't have any of the cycle charts. I'll see if I can find a document that will have them. CLICK HERE TO GO TO appnut's LINK |

This isn't the cleanest way to see the manual, but you can scroll through and see loading patterns as well as the cycle charts. Yes, th8is has the heated prewash on the heavy cycle. CLICK HERE TO GO TO appnut's LINK |

I've had one of these since 2011. I'd agree with the above comments in that it's a competent enough performer and I've been happy with it.
The key to good performance is to always select the "hi temp wash" on the normal cycle or just use the pots and pans (or "heavy" cycle on your machine.)
I don't have a cycle option for a heated pre-wash and the pre-wash on my model is ridiculously short.
So yours is better in my opinion. You know how it is, they keep chipping away to make them use less energy.

My machine was very similar to the one posted in the image above. Mine had the Sensor Cycle and China instead of Light. It also had the powerscour option instead of soak and scour. It’s prewash was about 10 mins. Quite long compared to the Bosch’s. It’s about 3? |

My Point Voyager doesn't have a cycle labeled "sensor cycle" but is very sensor-driven on the light and normal cycles.
On the light cycle, the sensor will decide whether or not the load gets a pre-wash. On the normal cycle, the sensor will decide how high to heat the main wash water (maybe not even to 120) if high-temp wash isn't selected.
The pots and pans cycle is more predictable, always a pre-wash and heated main wash to 140.
The issue I have with the purely sensor-driven cycles is that sometimes silverware doesn't get completely clean. |
