Yeah… there’s soap powder residue on my cutlery so I’m having to rinse everything under the tap again before use. Hopefully it’s only because it was in the rapid cycle but there’s nowhere to put rinse aid in this machine and it’s not very convenient to load. I’m also having to put things on a dish towel or dish rack to finish drying.
Buyers regret. Like I am happy the dishes are getting done because it’s my hardest task but it’s also creating more fiddly little headaches. Pisses me off because of the money.
Guess I’ll use it in the meantime but will start saving up again and this time actually get something better, something I can see in person. When I get another one I can ask if anyone I know wants it or donate on Givit.
Try using less powder.
I can but I’m really picky about residue and there’s no extra rinse option
how about tablets that include rinse aid and cutting the tablets in half for small loads
Kind of adds to labour when I needed to reduce it
easier than rinsing everything after
I’ll probably still have to. It’s still full of standing water for roaches because you have to keep the door open. (It’s either fully open right down to the bench or shut. You can’t just crack it.)
And I know at some point someone else is gonna use it without knowing and serve me a coffee full of soap.
I dunno, I’m tired and upset and something that was meant to help out is only aggravating me.
If drastically reducing the soap doesn’t work I’m just packing the thing right back into its box so I don’t end up drinking it
which model did you get?
It was the Big W Midea. It looked ok for my needs but I’m getting kinda annoyed actually using it
Big W sells dishwashers? I've never seen one when I've popped in.
It’s online only, through a third party seller I think
use finish liquid cleaner. Powder never fully dissolves in a benchtop. Our sheffield is twice the size of that and still fucks up on powder / tablets. Use about a third of the liquid and you're golden.
This is what I use but I also use powder and tablets on occasion.
good to know
Also worth noting that catch and the reject shop also sell this much much cheaper than colesworth
