I have had my dishwasher for just over 54 years, however she is far from silent, and is slowing up a bit now.

Had dishwashers for many years, 30+, the advice for the modern ones is not to rinse, as they have sensors, that adjust the wash according to the amount of dirt

soiling

etc. The newer ones use rock Another gadget is a Microwave our first was a "Toshiba" the size of a small car, 1978, never been without one. The picture is just two dishwashers, they call them "Double draw" they are about £1500 "Fisher & Paykel" are one manufacturer of them.

No need for a rinse or prewash if you have a dog.

That doesn't stop the muck clogging the filter (which is easily removable and washable)
I wipe off any grease too because while the dishwasher may cope, the drains won't !
@Hotrodder Yes, brilliant for stuck on stuff !!!

We were invited to a meal at our English neighbors once, after finishing, the plates were put on the floor for the bullmastiff to lick, absolutely disgusting, when I told her so I was told that they will go in to the dishwasher before they were used again. I enlightened her that the dishwasher is just that, not a sterilizing unit, never went there for grub again.

True
@hughnique We no longer have a dog, but in 40 + years of dog ownership, we never had a problem, nor did we poison the children.

No dishwasher for about 15 years and never had a microwave. I have a thermomix that I won in a prize draw at the local Intermarché in 2017. Never been used.......

How do you heat up your 1/2 drunk cup of tea (or coffee) which you put down while you do smthg and it goes cold ? Or do you throw the cold drink away ?

I inly drink coffee first thing in the morning. None of my chosen drinks for the rest of the day never need reheating and are never 1/2 drunk.......although the same could not be said for me...
