Almost 30 more minutes of dishwasher.
I love Lemmy’s love for Technology Connections. It just feels so right!
It’s like crack for ADHD as he goes in-depth, down many of the rabbit holes other informational shows gloss over, if they would even cover the subject to begin with.
NOTE: do not follow any of the tips without checking your own dishwashers manual and testing its cycles. I found that my 1.5hr cycle cleaned better than the 2.5hr, during the 1.5 it instantly releases the detergent so I can just dump it anywhere, and that the difference in cost between the cheapest powder and tablets (locally) was negligible (thanks Aldi!).
PRO TIP: get the tablets that have a water soluble wrapper and feel like you’re living in the future.
I would advise against the water soluble wrapper pods since they’re iirc a major contributor to microplastics in our water
I actually had to buy a new dishwasher and in Germany every dishwasher has to be set to economical cleaning mode as default. That being said there is also a fast mode, but you have to use special tabs that dissolve fast enough. Otherwise they will not dissolve fully during the washing stage and then the stuff would be stuck in the dishwasher after drying and it might seriously reduce lifetime of seals etc. So be careful with short washing programs on modern dishwashers!
The fast mode also uses more water and electricity than the three hour heavy wash mode.
what the fuck i don’t even own a dishwasher, why did i watch all of this
So you could tell me, the person who doesn’t even run the dishwasher, all about it
I can’t watch. Plz
THE WATER INSIDE IS RECYCLED!!!
What a time to be alive
And this is the short version!

So the rest of your family are catholic?
Sorry, bad joke, had to be done.
Maybe they are a big family of Dishwasher Muslims and use it 5 times a day.
Dishwasher lore expansion dropped
Top notch content. Right up there with his popcorn button on the microwave video.
oh that was a good one. I should go back and rewatch it
Old shit?: Bimetallic strips and clever designs.
New shit: Read the manual!
The only video I ever watched from that guy and I know exactly who he is immediately just from that video being mentioned. I should watch more of his stuff i suppose.
And the reheat button on microwave
I’m still mad that I have a shitty microwave now
Same! I’m lowkey tempted to get a fancy one now, but deep down I know it just isn’t worth it.
I have used the most expensive microwaves money can buy from Kenmore and GE and honestly the sensor reheat is just always complete shit. Way over or underdone every time. Soup/beverages are the only thing it’s good for. And the popcorn is also perfect every time.
I’m still salty that my microwave’s pizza button is one of the fake ones.
Buy an air fryer.
Speaking of Technology Connections; if anyone missed the recent Popular Science video on the RCA SelectaVision, Alec pops up to give a quick primer on the tech.
30 minutes in: “And you don’t have to change anything if your dishwasher is working for you. But honestly, you’re probably not watching this if things are working for you.”
Me: I live my life the way I want damn it!
My man is on another dishwasher rant. This is the short vid
As someone who’s worked on industrial machinery for food production all my life, I’m consistently amazed at what a simple dishwasher can do, and how it can do so for YEARS with essentially zero maintenance. Cleaning food residue is HARD.
I just bought a new one recently (the old one wasn’t actually broken, despite being very old, so I gave it away), and I can’t help but open it up every once in a while to admire it. How much time these devices save us!Depends on your luck. I’ve had to repair my Samsung dishwasher 3 times in 5 years and yet my parents bought the cheapest possible model 15 years ago and it operates lawlessly and does a better job at cleaning.
Samsung
Well there’s your problem right there.
Honestly, I worked as a house cleaner for a bit, and any samsung dishwasher I had to deal with was either broken or new.
Samsung and LG have both bitten me. Bosch, however, is doing great.
Aahhg I had a bosch in my old apartment that was just the right amount of quiet to fall asleep to. I really miss it… ;-;
it operates lawlessly
It’s the Wild West out here!
It’s a loose cannon, but dang it it’s the best washer on the force.
But being this is a 44dBA washer, the most powerful dishwasher in the world and will wash your plate clean off, you’ve gotta ask yourself a question: “Do I feel lucky?”
Well, do ya, cup?
All cups are bastards.
Yeah quality of the brand really matters. Samsung makes some of the worst appliances. And older appliances really were just built better in many cases.
This popped up on my yt feed and I had no idea what a legit informative video it would be.
This man is a saint. His channel is amazing.
What did you learn?
It’s just a tips and how-to on how to make your dishwasher work best. Run the sink tap until hot before you start, use cheap powder or gel soap, make sure to use the dispenser and use a bit of soap in the prewash cycle. Great channel though, very deep dives into technology, primarily home goods or oddities.
I appreciate this retread of previously covered content. And holy shit he lost a ton of weight.
Technology Connections understands the weakness of the flesh.
Is this who I think this is?
OH SHIT YEAH MIDWESTERN TECHNOLOGY PRAGMATIST VIDEO HAS DROPPED!!!
edit: Its a remix?
The previous videos were too long for anyone who doesn’t want to obsess about this. And this one is more pragmatic about your detergent of choice and thus more palatable for people who aren’t already fans of his.
It’s also takes him less time to make videos like this according to the messages on his patreon.
Personally I’m a fan of him remaking some videos like this. I can get my family to watch this a lot easier.
Just miss the jazz outro with the flubs and snarky captions.
After watching the original video I started putting some additional powder at the bottom of the loading tray every wash and it works great. Clean dishes ever since, no pre rinse necessary. Can recommend 👍.
Awesome, I was looking for something to wind down with after today’s shitty ass day at work.
Just let the video wash your troubles away
Been waiting for his next video. Whoa just found out this guy does videos about stuff other than dishwashers. that’s pretty cool, hope this dishwasher guy makes it big.
Check out the one he does on air conditioners it’s pretty awesome.
