"The trouble began in August 2017, when my boyfriend and I moved in together, and I quickly revealed myself to be an absolute ding-dong at loading the dishwasher." —Ellen Cushing for The Atlantic

Seriously, I agree with @geerlingguy and I'll refuse to buy @internetofshit / #InternetOfShit devices.

• Seriously, shite like this should be not only #illegal, but prosecuted as fraud.

There is no legitimate reason a #Dishwasher needs #Internet access or an #App.

• You know what my #WashingMachine needs to start (or finish) at a certain time? Me knowing how many hours it'll be from now on till it has to start (and some 2nd grade math to add the time till the program finishes)... IT DOESN'T EVEN HAVE A SHITTY CLOCK INSIDE!!!

Seriously, I'm just mad at this #Enshittification!

The internet of things is truly a wonder.

So Mad… Soooo Mad

Our preferred #dishwasher detergent pods aren't available, so I'm looking for #recommendations for something that minimizes waste - trying to minimize plastics, landfill bound packaging, #microplastics, single use wrappers, and scents. We cook a lot and run the dishwasher 4+ times a week, it adds up, and have been using portioned pod-things for convenience, which is fine but just feels bougie and only adds a slight convenience.

Replacement Option A is basic Cascade powder in a cardboard box.

Replacement Option B is, at the suggestion from a r/zerowaste commenter, chasing down bulk powder detergent from a catering/restaurant supply company or similar.

#CambridgeNaturals in nearby #CambridgeMA offers Seventh Generation gel in a plastic bottle, and Blueland tablets listed on their web store.

However, in my search I learned that the #NorthEnd has a new-to-me #ZeroWaste shop called #Uvida, which has a bunch of #ecofriendly refill/#sustainable options in #Boston - and they have a powdered detergent in a brand I've not seen before, #RusticStrength: https://www.uvidashop.com/pages/automatic-dishwasher-powder-unscented-ingredients

I'll update if I find something I can offer as a #recommendation

This is a long shot, but I'm looking for help with my #Klarstein tabletop #dishwasher It's a refurbished Azuria Dishwasher 1380W and I only just received it. It turns on, but doesn't do anything else.

I filled the dishwasher salt and rinse aid as in the instructions, and the warning lights went away. I connected the inlet pipe to my cold tap and turned it on. I tried to run it empty for a short cycle as the manual said. Nothing happens.

Suggestions? #repair

Have you cleaned your #dishwasher filter lately?

Successfully debugged my dishwasher. Had an issue (for more than a year) with dishes just not getting clean, and after re-doing the drainage tube so it had a lot smoother run between the air gap and the dishwasher disposal, the dishwasher now runs nicely! (there was a slight kink in the tube, but enough apparently to back up the drainage) #dishwasher #debugging

Ooof. There's a dishwasher with detergent DRM. Just hacked, but still... #drm #dishwasher #connected

A boring but helpful #Dishwasher #TipOfDay
So I learned I should not leave price stickers on new dishes when washing them before use. They were stuck so well and I didn’t want to get the adhesive remover out just then. Well, I found most of the 10 in the bottom of the dishwasher. HOPE I got most out but nervous any will still cause a problem. If you’ve got a tip to share, please do in reply! Especially tips on dishwashers and removing very stuck stickers.

There are a million different ways to pack the #dishwasher, and none of them is the "right" way (except for mine).

After being "that guy" who always talks about #dishwashers after watching @TechConnectify's videos: loose powder vs. dishwasher pods, etc etc..

..I've gone back to pods myself.

I was using loose powder before and seeing "dusty" residue after each cycle. Got a free sample of pods from my local grocery store and .. it was spotless.

I guess powder quality matters. The loose powder in stores near me is crap.

So yeah, I've gone back to pods. I can't argue with the results.
