I LURVE my dishwasher. Its a LG and it works really well- I've never had to clean it out (maybe I am dodgey about this!), and it doesn't make my glasses cloudy. I would run it 2-3 times a week and just use those little 'pellet' things you can buy- super easy.
As far as smell, they can smell. But you can get these little lemon things that you hook in the dishwasher and they make it smell all yummy.
Oh, I also like my LG because it has child-lock. Important when there are all those pretty lights!!
Yep, mine came with the house too I'd nevert had one before but I seriously loooove it and wouldn't be without it now.
I just run a Finish Dishwashwer cleaner through it once a month, use bi carb for washing powder and vinegar for rinse aid. I've heard that when stacked properly they use roughly the same amount of water as hand washing everything.
I am awful with handwashing so I love mine. I still handwash some items that are better not going in, or take up too much space so stop a heap of other things going in. I often get distracted whilst washing up, so the water goes cold and I need to refill. So for us using a dishwasher uses less water.
We used to use the tablets, but have found out that can cause issues with over foaming and are not really recommended, plus depending on your machine they can't be used on the ecocycle. Also when we looked at the cost it was cheaper to powder with a rinse aid. Am still yet to try bicarb and vinegar.
There is a filter that is meant to be cleaned out every wash, I do it about every 2-3 washed. It catches all the large food bits, so is best to be kept clean to keep the machine running properly and to keep smells at bay.
We dont have one. Our house didnt come with one but over the last 3 years we have gotten used to doing without it. If you rinse the dishes before you put them in thedishwasher I think that helps, I also think they are only wrthwhile if you are going to use it at least every day or every second day as I think the dishes sitting in there dirty would make it smell funny.
At my mums house we had this little lemon thing that hung off the dish rack inside the dishwasher that gave off lemon scent.
yep, we have it cause i am lazy! ours doesnt smell unless it has been sitting there unused for a few days and this rarely happens. we had a power outage last year when there was a really bad storm, lost power for a few days, can you believe it I HAD TO HAND WASH!
I hate handwashing. I got a dishwasher for my first Mother's Day last year...best thing ever! Mine doesn't smell as I don't leave dirty dishes sitting for longer than a day.
It feels like it takes longer and you are ALWAYS looking for your favorite knife ... that's in there ... because you did not wash it since lunch. You have to wash some stuff with the hand, so I just feel like it's more work than just washing the dishes and getting it done with.
I actually like doing dishes, especially during winter. I just like cleaning things.
At the moment I have a maid full-time 5 days a week I KNOW HOW LUCKY AM I!!!! (sorry just had to throw that in there somewhere ... I'm so lucky .. .THANK YOU DH) So not really getting my fix of doing the dishes, but come weekend the kitchen is mine, all mine mwhahahahaha.
I wash dishes at least twice a day and it gets annoying as I know I am missing out on time with the boys. I also work full-time so time with the kids is extra precious (except when Dora the Explorer is on as I am not allowed in the room because I am "too loud" apparently LOL!).
Looks like it will have to wait though. The second TV just blew last night and the washing machine has decided to work when it feels like it. Hurry up the end of financial year sales!!!!
