Mix both worlds. Like I have learned from a very investigative YT video. He tested and measured dishwashing in many different ways, and came to the result that a) tablet in that place in the door is the thing to do, but also b) a bit of dishwasher powder into the little compartment right next to it under the flap. This is for the first cleaning stage, and since we use this trick, our dishwasher runtime (which is dynamically depending on cleanlyness of the dishes) has gone down by about 20 minutes.

Are you referring to Technology Connections video on dish washers? This video

[–] nadir 11 points 4 days ago (1 children)

If so, it’s a bad summary. The video advocates against tablets

because they don't do prewash, if you're putting a tablet in main wash and powder in prewash, should be fine.

Nope, the one I've seen is way older than just six months.

how was that obvious? do you know how much information is on YouTube with 29 different ways to do something?

Tongue in cheek

Yeah exactly, that guy above you is a fucking idiot who brought nothing to the discussion. I'd hate to be related to them, or even use the same brand of cigarettes

How does a machine know whether the dishes in it are clean?

[–] Treczoks 3 points 4 days ago

Ask the machine, I don't know, but it works.
