That brown 'gunk' that you referenced in the video are resin beads. They are used to attract the dissolved magnesium and calcium in the water via ion exchange. The water will come out the other end as soft water. It's non-toxic and from what I'm told, if you swallow the stuff it will act as an antacid. The salt is used to regenerate the resin by forcing the resin to release the captured hard water deposits. The injection of salt into the resin chamber must be occurring at some stage in the cleaning cycle and we haven't seen it yet. It must be part of the commands issued by the electronic board at some stage during the wash/rinse cycle. Home water softeners work on the same principle but the salt flushing is usually set to occur very late at night when nobody would be using the water.
You are right. The so called regeneration of the ion exchanger ("brown gunk") happens during the drying stage, but not in every wash cycle of the dishwasher (more like every 2nd, every 3rd and so on). How often the regeneration takes place depends on the hardness of the water, and with most dishwashers is set _manually_ via a menu setting. This is why it's important to have this setting where it needs to be at for the given hardness of the tap water. Many people never touch it, have hard water and then wonder why they have stains. By the way, the dishes themselves never come in contact with the salt or it's brine at any time. It is purely for regeneration of the ion exchanger. The ion exchanger is where the softening magic happens and it works fine without salt until it is saturated and needs regeneration.
I can confirm because one of our filters broke and looked just like that. Thankfully it was contained and did not flow all of our house pipes. 😧 Phew!😅
Very strange, these UK machines are a bit odd. The way we have it in the US with just a motor heater and food chopper works perfectly, although salt would definitely help in harder water conditions. Excellent information!
come on the whole porcess is interesting... if someone skips for where the machine is working and missed the removal of walll they've missed half of the fun
Hi. Thanks for the well edited, dynamic video. I thoroughly enjoyed it The brown stuff in the salt container is called "ionic echange resin". Essentially a dishwasher (or any water softener that uses salt) does not soften the water directly by means of salt, but rather by a ionic exchange process. In short, limescale (which is responsible for white marks on dishes) is calcium carbonate. The water softener job is to absorb calcium from the water molecules and release in its place another molecule, which in the case of a salt based softener is, you guessed it, sodium (I remember to the reader of the comment that salt is sodium chloride). In short, water does NOT flow from the valve, through the salt container, into the wash tub. This would cause water to be salty and create rust spots on cutley, metal and leave a nasty white residue on the dishes and the inside of the machine. What happens istead is that water flows through the valve, into the resins (which are separated from the salt reservoir by means of a solenoid valve) and finally into the machine. Now, you may wonder, what is salt used for then? Well, these resins can't accumulate calcium ions forever and will eventually get full. Salt is then used every X liters of water filled (which the electronics can detect by means of that little spinny thing - a flowmeter - mounted on the heat exchanger or by means of software guesses based on how long the fill valve has remained open) to regenerate the resins. In this process, called "regeneration", water flows from the valve, through the salt container, thorugh the separating valve, into the resins and finally is immediately drained out by the drain pump. A series of water fills where the pump still remains active is then used to rinse out any salt residue from the resins. Hope this comment was useful to someone. Cheers
Yeah i totally get it... The brown stuff and salt are there because they just need to be... Ok. Ok i'll try interpret this for everybody. Salt gets rid off limescale? Brown resin gets rid of salt?
In the stores back int he 1970's they often had dishwasher display models with clear fronts that would be running. It was an effective way to catch the attention of shoppers.
Finally the best video for visually understanding the workings of a dishwasher is here... Many have put cameras inside for demonstration but a fully transparent dishwasher is something on a totally different level. Awesome job 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

If your handwash is consuming more water and electricity/gas, then you’re NOT handwashing correctly, it’s as simple as that !! Anyway, thanks all for your time and efforts spent into making this video ; it was joyful to watch 🙂
Nerd curiosity… I loved! But the comparison was not totally fair because ‘no one’ leaves the tap open during manual dishwashing but only to remove the soap foam, and with hot water only during winter.
Clearly you are not me, and I’m sure I am not alone. This dishwasher seems very small compared to the standard 24” x 24” in North America. Is this a standard size in the country where the video was made?
Applause for an outstanding job! I’ve always wanted to see this process!! Truly, this is great info. Bravo from Sacramento for going above-and-beyond!!
Great video! Thank you for the time and effort to do this video. It's amazing that this machine uses both wash arms at the same time. In the US the dishwashers only use one arm at a time to wash each rack as they use so little water. Average run time is over 3 hours for a load of dishes.
do not use tablets, use powder. when you use dishwashing tablets and put it in the compartment and close the lid, you don't get any detergent when the machine does the pre-wash, just put the tablet in the dishwasher and you only get detergent when the machine does the pre-wash and the detergent is flushed out before the main wash starts. most machines have a lid with two compartments, one for the pre-wash and one for the main dish, both must be filled with powder according to the recommendation, if you don't have a compartment for the pre-dish, you pour a little on the dishwasher's door instead
Lovely video. Glad you added shoes, combs and miscellaneous items in the end to demonstrate how effective the dishwasher is at cleaning random household items. More people need to know this. Also people need to run cycles accordingly and not run steam/heat cycles with delicate items.
Yeah dishwashers are great there is even a video of someone cooking a family size lasagna in the dishwasher and because of the heat the dishwasher creates they managed to fully cook the lasagna!
bro literally xrays through the machibe and still promise to disassemble it further and see how it works.. probably thr guys who built never seen like this.. honestly props to you for this magnificent work
I loved this! I'm super fascinated by dishwashers. Dishwasher tablets contain enzymes which require time to work that's why the cycles are so long Eww no shoes!
You don't need to "rinse off the large impurities". If they will go down the plughole in your sink then your dishwasher will deal with them just fine. Pre-rising your plates and dishes before you put them in the dishwasher is totally unnecessary and wastes water. The dishwasher is very efficient with water compared to washing by hand, so just tip/scape your leftovers into the bin and put your dishes in the dishwasher.
Large chunks of food (ie meat or fat) will take a long time to dissolve down the dishwasher drain and cause a stinky smell. For this reason there is an important step not many of us know: clean your dishwasher! Take the bottom tray out and unscrew the screen in the floor of the DW. I’ve found food and labels (ie stickers from the bottom of mugs or jar labels) inside clogging the holes making the machine less effective bc dirty water won’t fully drain.
Bosch says it's walls are stainless steel so the moisture will condense on them and drain helping to dry the dishes faster, since they are typically thicker walled and retain heat.
13:40 the little beads is a built in water softener to your dishwasher. We have these in American homes for water softeners in our basements. The beads are used to get all the iron and other stuff out of the water to soften it up, while the salt is what’s used to recharge the beads and make them useful again once they get saturated by the water and ions (iirc), so it looks like this dishwasher has a softener built in! Something I have never seen before in my 38 years of life while living in America, but would be pretty handy if you lived in an apartment with no water softener. The salt itself won’t soften the water, you need to have those beads also.
where I live, we handwash and it saves alot of water. we do not keep the tap running while sponging. there is a way of doing it to minimise water wastage. And yes, wear gloves to protect your hands from the harsh chemicals. If you have very little dishes to wash, its more hygienic to wash them up by hand manually instead of keeping dirty dishes in the dishwasher till its full load. And it does not take a long time even to wash a full load by hand. Very therapeutic in fact for some people and satisfying 😊
actually you can save water a lot by changing the way you wash the dish. i only turn the water two times, first when to scrap the plate and spoon, and second when to rinse the dish. people waste a lot of water because they still turn the water on when washing the dish.
You guys are amazing and your english is perfect. I have often wondered about the internal workings of a dishwasher and how it actually cleans. I had a rough idea but you always wonder when you close the door and not being able to see it function you naturally wonder. Well I wonder no more thanks to your channel. Thankyou very much. Cheers Chris
Wonderful video. By the way, you can use much less water hand-washing if you use a couple of tubs of water. Scrape the remaining food off, washing the first tub, rinse in the second. If you do that, hand-washing wins. I do like my dishwasher though.
In England in small homes like mine we fill the sink up with water not just let the tap run continuously, I clean dishes twice with two sinks full. Super annoying and time consuming but litteraly no where to put a dish washer. I would like to see a comparison of two sinks worth. I'm sure dish washer is better. Just got to wait for "affordable" housing which is a nightmare
Years ago, dishwashers were pressure washers they clean the dirtiest dishes in a very short period of time because they had very large pumps and used enough water required by these pumps. Now the dishwashers are energy savers, so they use small pumps that usually either clean the top rack or the bottom rack but not both racks together that’s why it takes double and triple the time it took the old vintage units. Most dishwashers don’t use the electrolytes to soften the water just some European brands.
Very interesting! I appreciate the work you went to for this video. Our dishwasher won’t fill with water. This was a big help to see where the water is supposed to come out. There is about a half inch of water settle in that area. Funny thing is is that the machine started sending out the emergency code after a complete wash..I’m not sure if it is possible for the pipes that lead to the dishwasher are frozen. House water is running but due to the temperature dropping into the teens this week, I’m wondering if the dishwasher pipes, as well as the water line to the fridge water dispenser is frozen. I’ve never seen this happen. Not sure whether to call for help or pray the pipes don’t burst.😢
Try draining that water and then reset your machine by turning off the power at the breaker. Wait for 5 minutes and then turn it back on. Go to dishwasher, choose a wash cycle and hit start... See if that works for you. Some washers will not start unless the water is drained first. Check and make sure your float isn't stuck as well since that's what triggers the switch for your drain pump to kick on.
What an awesome video. I am the person in the house “in charge” of loading the dishwasher. This behind the scenes video is nerd gold. Thanks for sharing.
Hand washing dishes under constantly running Water? Wow. I learned to handwash the way to fill the sink with warm/hot water and wash it in there. In my sink fits 8 liters of water. Dirty dishes i have to swap the water one time. So i use 8-16l. You used almost 56 liters?! (Manual of the dishwasher sayed 14l/cycle and on your chart it reads, that you consumed 4 times the dishwasher's water)
For a small channel, you spent so much time and effort to make this interesting and original content. Thank you. I wish you a lot more success and views on UA-cam, as you surely deserve it.
@@tc2241 A soapy basin? No! Just spray your dishes with the jet option from the tap and put some soap on a wet sponge. The only water that needs to run is the one to rinse. Why are people so wasteful?
Please, excuse me for this comment, but I’ll text it anyway.😇 If you for some reason cannot spend one month of your life to train your speech apparatus how to pronounce ‘th’, use this trick: For voiced ‘th’ do not use ‘z’, use ‘v’ instead -> when saying _this,_ say _vis_ instead of _zis._ For voiceless ‘th’ do not use ‘s’, use ‘f’ instead -> when saying _theater,_ say _feater_ instead of _seater._ Native English speakers of some accents do this. It doesn’t mess with understanding the language for other native speakers. However, and S and Z swaps do mess with understanding. One of the most crucial things in English phonology and grammar-is to N.E.V.E.R. use a ‘s’ sound where it shouldn’t be.
He speaks your language and you understand, but you cant speak his, funny enough if you speak his language you would have his an accent speaking his, and he could also laugh but he wont laugh and judge because he isnt a fool
Very interesting to see how it actually works. I have double sinks and use the plugs, wash in one and rinse with the other, dry in rack and total of 20L for 30min (excluding pot soak time with denture tablet, wait until not blue, then 5 minutes for pots).
@@k-leb4671 Depends on the dishwasher, you're probably right if it's a high quality/not cheap type which can be way out of budget for some. I'd love to have one like a bench top sort as I'm in a rental.
Don’t know if you know that but some appliance stores especially high-end ones actually have acrylic washing machines to show people how it’s watched they come from the factory. They’re just made with see-through panel one or two of them. You could’ve probably bought one.
First dishwashers. I use big plates in the wider spaces, in my mind the water has a better chance to get in there. Avoid the big plates being crammed together.
In the UK, Hoover made a clear plastic sheet that fitted into the recess of the open door. It had a catch that engaged with the door interlock so it could be run with the door effectively open. This was made for demonstration purposes in some high street retailers. Also one part neglected in your demonstration was how in a sealed unit, the dishes dry. Well, in the Hoover models, the heater was turned on with no water flowing and heated the whole space inside. Ofcourse, the air inside becomes saturated with moisture, but how to get rid of that moisture? Thats the clever part! Well, because the innershell is normally metal it naturally cools down first as it looses heat to the outside. This means the internal saturated air condenses on the cooler inner shell walls and runs down the sides to the sump. So to save having steam escape in your kitchen, it is important to wait for the full cycle to complete before opening the door. The pump is then switched on at the end of the drying cycle to remove the water. An alternative more modern method is to heat the water in the last rinse cycle, so everything is hot inside before it waits to cool down as above. I would also add the plastic moulding at the side of the washer is quite a complicated unit and controlled some timmings with many different water flow paths Effectively it was a water powered computer and to my mind a work of art! How do I know all this? I worked as an Product Engineer in Hoover for many years.
Yeah, I'd still rather wash by hand. I use just about the same amount of water, but I can wash more dishes in less time. It's all about maximizing water coverage (spray vs stream) to soak dried plates, and soaping up all your dishes in one go, then rinsing all your dishes in one go. And using the least amount of water pressure to get the job done. It's a great way to zone out for a little while. And it teaches the kids to appreciate washing their own dishes right after eating, instead of just grabbing a new one and letting the food dry.
Many thanks for this very clear and educative vid. Congrats! Two questions : - how many liters of water (instead of costs) ref. the battle dishwasher vs hand dishwashing? - when talking about hand dishwashing you quote electricity expenses: what are they? Thank you
This is indeed the video we've all been waiting for, whether we admit to it publicly, to ourselves only, or not at all. Thank you for going the extra mile by making the whole magical process as clear to see as possible too. Here comes the "but"... Why no mention of the other half of the way a dishwasher cleans the dishes? ENZYMES! Some of the quieter moments you fastidiously catalogue will have been for the enzymes to take effect, not just to drip dry the plates, for instance.
Some people just stick a camera in the dish washer to see how it works, you sir went above and beyond.

Eww no shoes!
Очень интересно, ребят! Такой объем работы, да ещё такого качества! И сколько людей теперь будет спать спокойнее с этими знаниями 😁

You don't need to "rinse off the large impurities". If they will go down the plughole in your sink then your dishwasher will deal with them just fine. Pre-rising your plates and dishes before you put them in the dishwasher is totally unnecessary and wastes water. The dishwasher is very efficient with water compared to washing by hand, so just tip/scape your leftovers into the bin and put your dishes in the dishwasher.
I think it is still good to at least brush off the bigger parts of food remain. I believe this will prolong the lifetime of the machine.
Large chunks of food (ie meat or fat) will take a long time to dissolve down the dishwasher drain and cause a stinky smell. For this reason there is an important step not many of us know: clean your dishwasher! Take the bottom tray out and unscrew the screen in the floor of the DW. I’ve found food and labels (ie stickers from the bottom of mugs or jar labels) inside clogging the holes making the machine less effective bc dirty water won’t fully drain.
I actually knew all of this as I’ve repaired our dishwasher twice. But seeing it running trough the panels is amazing
This video is so well made. Thank you! ❤
Good job breaking it down to such details. Hope someday the manufacturers will start making transparent models.
Bosch says it's walls are stainless steel so the moisture will condense on them and drain helping to dry the dishes faster, since they are typically thicker walled and retain heat.
This video is so underrated, this guy went above and beyond
13:40 the little beads is a built in water softener to your dishwasher. We have these in American homes for water softeners in our basements.
The beads are used to get all the iron and other stuff out of the water to soften it up, while the salt is what’s used to recharge the beads and make them useful again once they get saturated by the water and ions (iirc), so it looks like this dishwasher has a softener built in! Something I have never seen before in my 38 years of life while living in America, but would be pretty handy if you lived in an apartment with no water softener.
The salt itself won’t soften the water, you need to have those beads also.
where I live, we handwash and it saves alot of water. we do not keep the tap running while sponging. there is a way of doing it to minimise water wastage. And yes, wear gloves to protect your hands from the harsh chemicals. If you have very little dishes to wash, its more hygienic to wash them up by hand manually instead of keeping dirty dishes in the dishwasher till its full load. And it does not take a long time even to wash a full load by hand. Very therapeutic in fact for some people and satisfying 😊
actually you can save water a lot by changing the way you wash the dish. i only turn the water two times, first when to scrap the plate and spoon, and second when to rinse the dish. people waste a lot of water because they still turn the water on when washing the dish.
Awesome video! I love everything about dishwashers! Greetings from Brazil ❤🇧🇷
You guys are amazing and your english is perfect.
I have often wondered about the internal workings of a dishwasher and how it actually cleans.
I had a rough idea but you always wonder when you close the door and not being able to see it function you naturally wonder.
Well I wonder no more thanks to your channel. Thankyou very much.
Cheers Chris
You convinced me to buy a dishwasher😅
I always wanted to know how it works and looks from inside. Finally watched it today. Thanks for the upload.
Wonderful video. By the way, you can use much less water hand-washing if you use a couple of tubs of water. Scrape the remaining food off, washing the first tub, rinse in the second. If you do that, hand-washing wins. I do like my dishwasher though.
In England in small homes like mine we fill the sink up with water not just let the tap run continuously, I clean dishes twice with two sinks full. Super annoying and time consuming but litteraly no where to put a dish washer. I would like to see a comparison of two sinks worth. I'm sure dish washer is better. Just got to wait for "affordable" housing which is a nightmare
You all deserve more visibility on this platform.
I have wondered for years how it was done 😮. Dishwashers are a wonderfull invention.
Years ago, dishwashers were pressure washers they clean the dirtiest dishes in a very short period of time because they had very large pumps and used enough water required by these pumps.
Now the dishwashers are energy savers, so they use small pumps that usually either clean the top rack or the bottom rack but not both racks together that’s why it takes double and triple the time it took the old vintage units.
Most dishwashers don’t use the electrolytes to soften the water just some European brands.
most if not all European machines have water-softening capabilities
They don’t make em like they used to
They clean just as well. Just use a ton less energy and water. What you lose out on is time. @@ayeitzdj
*All European brands
Never seen a European dishwasher without a salt reservoir, even the most cheap dishwashers have them here.
Smart people with free time is a blessing LOL
Very interesting! I appreciate the work you went to for this video. Our dishwasher won’t fill with water. This was a big help to see where the water is supposed to come out. There is about a half inch of water settle in that area. Funny thing is is that the machine started sending out the emergency code after a complete wash..I’m not sure if it is possible for the pipes that lead to the dishwasher are frozen. House water is running but due to the temperature dropping into the teens this week, I’m wondering if the dishwasher pipes, as well as the water line to the fridge water dispenser is frozen. I’ve never seen this happen. Not sure whether to call for help or pray the pipes don’t burst.😢
Try draining that water and then reset your machine by turning off the power at the breaker. Wait for 5 minutes and then turn it back on. Go to dishwasher, choose a wash cycle and hit start... See if that works for you. Some washers will not start unless the water is drained first. Check and make sure your float isn't stuck as well since that's what triggers the switch for your drain pump to kick on.
This was so interesting and imformative and entertaining. I really needed this as Im renovating my 1920s house and was debating a dishwasher. Thanks.
Excellent, dedication towards ur work is very inspiring ❤️
I didn't search for this, but I was enthralled.
This video in conjuction with Technology Connection's videos on dishwashers have made me an amateur dishwasher guru :p
What an awesome video. I am the person in the house “in charge” of loading the dishwasher. This behind the scenes video is nerd gold. Thanks for sharing.
Great Video. Informative and Entertaining.
Thanks Bro for such a great innovation and great effort to show all the people's how actually dishwasher works from inside.
Hats off ❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊
This video is so well made. How do you not have more subscribers? How did you have the budget?
Thank you, UA-cam algorithm, for suggesting this video to me.
Hand washing dishes under constantly running Water? Wow. I learned to handwash the way to fill the sink with warm/hot water and wash it in there. In my sink fits 8 liters of water. Dirty dishes i have to swap the water one time. So i use 8-16l. You used almost 56 liters?! (Manual of the dishwasher sayed 14l/cycle and on your chart it reads, that you consumed 4 times the dishwasher's water)
For a small channel, you spent so much time and effort to make this interesting and original content. Thank you.
I wish you a lot more success and views on UA-cam, as you surely deserve it.
He is from Ukraine and his main channel is not small. This is just english translation video
Who lets their water run the whole time while washing dishes?! That's crazy.
That's true
Doesn’t change the variables all that much. You need a soapy basin and you also need to rinse of the residue.
@@tc2241 A soapy basin? No! Just spray your dishes with the jet option from the tap and put some soap on a wet sponge. The only water that needs to run is the one to rinse. Why are people so wasteful?
Please, excuse me for this comment, but I’ll text it anyway.😇
If you for some reason cannot spend one month of your life to train your speech apparatus how to pronounce ‘th’, use this trick:
For voiced ‘th’ do not use ‘z’, use ‘v’ instead -> when saying _this,_ say _vis_ instead of _zis._
For voiceless ‘th’ do not use ‘s’, use ‘f’ instead -> when saying _theater,_ say _feater_ instead of _seater._
Native English speakers of some accents do this. It doesn’t mess with understanding the language for other native speakers.
However, and S and Z swaps do mess with understanding. One of the most crucial things in English phonology and grammar-is to N.E.V.E.R. use a ‘s’ sound where it shouldn’t be.
interesting accent. this youtuber's native tongue must contains no sound of 'th' and 'v' etc...
He speaks your language and you understand, but you cant speak his, funny enough if you speak his language you would have his an accent speaking his, and he could also laugh but he wont laugh and judge because he isnt a fool
Most European languages do not have "th"
@@neokorteks2009 In fact, only 4% of all languages in the world has the English "th" sound, it is that rare

Well done. I appreciate the effort you put onto this experiment.
I just cant listen to this "ze" english...
I was looking for this comment. Same here. 😅
Very good. Comments gave more clarity on salt and liquid used.
Very interesting to see how it actually works.
I have double sinks and use the plugs, wash in one and rinse with the other, dry in rack and total of 20L for 30min (excluding pot soak time with denture tablet, wait until not blue, then 5 minutes for pots).
20 litres is still more than a good dishwasher will use.
@@k-leb4671 Depends on the dishwasher, you're probably right if it's a high quality/not cheap type which can be way out of budget for some. I'd love to have one like a bench top sort as I'm in a rental.
Very informative and impressive video. Keep up the great work!
Excellent video and a very informative content. Great work!!!!
Dishwasher "Why must I die for this?"
Owner 1 million views later "You'll become a legend!"
WOW WOW and WOW all the work you lads did to produce that video WOW!!!!👍👍 That was ONE very expensive dish washing session!
Very well detailed and top notch quality production. Thank you so much for your efforts
I perceive you to be of superior intelligence and creativity. ⭐️💡⭐️
The dish washer companies should pay you for educating their customers.
Thank you, really appreciate the effort the team put into this experiment and I enjoyed watching it very much. 👍👍
Explanatory videos are always welcome.
Thank you!
El mejor video de la historia. Gracias! Justamente lava como en mi mente lo imaginaba.
Fascinating video and scientifically well worked through
Definitely you need more views. Great job brother good luck 👍🏻.
Don’t know if you know that but some appliance stores especially high-end ones actually have acrylic washing machines to show people how it’s watched they come from the factory. They’re just made with see-through panel one or two of them. You could’ve probably bought one.
First dishwashers. I use big plates in the wider spaces, in my mind the water has a better chance to get in there. Avoid the big plates being crammed together.
if you go on with such of these ideas, u will be successful. i wish u the best. greetings from Germany
This is a first class video. Very educational
So informative. I thoroughly enjoyed this, seriously, thank you. Great video
The way you stacked wet dishes on top of each other to “dry” them made me want to fry my eyes in olive oil
Meanwhile me remembering my Asian Nana: Yeah. Like that will fly in our house. 😆
Anyway, thankies for showing us!
In the UK, Hoover made a clear plastic sheet that fitted into the recess of the open door. It had a catch that engaged with the door interlock so it could be run with the door effectively open. This was made for demonstration purposes in some high street retailers.
Also one part neglected in your demonstration was how in a sealed unit, the dishes dry. Well, in the Hoover models, the heater was turned on with no water flowing and heated the whole space inside. Ofcourse, the air inside becomes saturated with moisture, but how to get rid of that moisture? Thats the clever part! Well, because the innershell is normally metal it naturally cools down first as it looses heat to the outside. This means the internal saturated air condenses on the cooler inner shell walls and runs down the sides to the sump. So to save having steam escape in your kitchen, it is important to wait for the full cycle to complete before opening the door. The pump is then switched on at the end of the drying cycle to remove the water.
An alternative more modern method is to heat the water in the last rinse cycle, so everything is hot inside before it waits to cool down as above.
I would also add the plastic moulding at the side of the washer is quite a complicated unit and controlled some timmings with many different water flow paths Effectively it was a water powered computer and to my mind a work of art!
How do I know all this? I worked as an Product Engineer in Hoover for many years.
Yeah, I'd still rather wash by hand. I use just about the same amount of water, but I can wash more dishes in less time. It's all about maximizing water coverage (spray vs stream) to soak dried plates, and soaping up all your dishes in one go, then rinsing all your dishes in one go. And using the least amount of water pressure to get the job done.
It's a great way to zone out for a little while. And it teaches the kids to appreciate washing their own dishes right after eating, instead of just grabbing a new one and letting the food dry.
Your channel should get more subs! This video is already interesting to many viewers and we want moreeeee!
This video deserves millions views.
Many thanks for this very clear and educative vid. Congrats!
Two questions :
- how many liters of water (instead of costs) ref. the battle dishwasher vs hand dishwashing?
- when talking about hand dishwashing you quote electricity expenses: what are they?
Thank you
Great video production and very informative. Thanks for the good work 😊
This is indeed the video we've all been waiting for, whether we admit to it publicly, to ourselves only, or not at all.
Thank you for going the extra mile by making the whole magical process as clear to see as possible too.
Here comes the "but"...
Why no mention of the other half of the way a dishwasher cleans the dishes?
ENZYMES!
Some of the quieter moments you fastidiously catalogue will have been for the enzymes to take effect, not just to drip dry the plates, for instance.
The brown stuff is ion exchange resin that softens the water, the salt recharges the resin
