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
Same with me. Not sure where it goes though… Maybe in your dishwasher!
And this is the short version!
Link! Now! I have a job I’m not worried about let’s go!
This is the first one: https://youtu.be/_rBO8neWw04
Links to this alt channel and the second in that series should be included in that video.
Thanks!
There with ya
Dude, life is too short to wash spoons with your hands
Sometimes I just put one spoon in the dishwasher and turn it on.
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.
This is simultaneously dark and hilarious. Kudos.
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.

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.
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.
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.
operates lawlessly
as long as it doesn’t get caught!
Jokes aside, I’ve only ever owned European-made appliances. My old dishwasher was a Bosch that came with the apartment when we bought it, I don’t know how old it was, but I guess around 20 years, and again, I replaced but it was still working.
I don’t buy appliances at big box stores though, I always go to a dedicated shop where they kinda select their offerings, as they also have to deal with support calls. There’s one in my city that, despite being a fraction of a big box store, moves A LOT of merchandise, so they also have a lot of experience, so far I’ve been quite happy.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.
I had a Samsung dishwasher that I dumped after just 4 years because it kept breaking every 6 to 12 months. I also have a fridge that is 8 years old that cost me an arm and a leg from Samsung and I need to keep fixing it every couple of years and have given up on fixing the ice maker. Also just dispossessed of a washing machine last month from, you guessed, Samsung because the mother board fried and they don’t sell it anymore, it was 6 years old. I still have a curved LED 85" TV that some how broke in the corner, for fucks sake, it’s made of aluminum! Not only that, the smart TV menus are infected with ads everywhere. Why the hell did that happen? It was a very expensive TV when I bought it. I have a few Hisense TVs and they last years and are ridiculously cheap. Samsung has a beautiful design but all their products are just plain crap with planned obsolescence. Never again will I buy a Samsung home appliance.
My whole kitchen is Samsung. Stove needed a new bimetal switch because the cooling fan for the top got stuck on. The dish washer garbage disposal knife blew apart into fragments twice and the gaskets rotted and fell apart. Microwave magneto diode blew. Its all literal garbage, I’m selling my house soon and leaving that trash behind and buying high end next time to save myself money in the long term.
Don’t buy anything Samsung. Shit company with bad products designed to fail after warranty expires.
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 👍.
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.
This one is still quite long
I wished he made his videos closer to the 20min mark
I’ll probably still watch it, but at almost 30mins it might take me some days to start it.
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
With powdered dish soap, not that pod shit.
Yeah, tried it for the first time, its eye opening
I’ve never had a job where we celebrate Shitty Ass Day. What’s that like?
Nowhere near as fun as you’d think.
Not enough ass, too much shit.
Dishwasher lore expansion dropped
And even more on Connextras!
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.

And in Germany we don’t have those without filters.
On the other hand, we have 230V and our dish washers’s sump only have half the sump size at most, they heat up the water in no time, even if it’s cold to start with. So we’ve got that going for us which is nice.
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.
He will always be known to me as the toaster guy that taught me how to make a quick $100
Popcorn button dude for me
Heat pumps…
And latent heat of vaoprization!
Quick 100$?
How did he teach you to make a quick 100 bucks?
Sunbeam Radiant control toasters sell working used on ebay for $100-200
You can buy them not working for under $50
90% of the not working ones can be fixed by adjusting tension
Check out the one he does on air conditioners it’s pretty awesome.
The one about how the non-window/wall ones suck?
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!
I dont even own a dishwasher but I watched the whole thing!
