I don't really put my Maytag through it's paces; I use it about once a
week, it's rarely very full, no pots n' pans, I tend to do a lot of
hand washing. But for me it does what it's supposed to do, always
cleans spotlessly and everything dry when I open the door. It's
called a dishwasher, not a pot washer, and many of my pots are too
big to fit. I don't remember ever using the Pot Scrubber cycle. And
many times if the hot water is up at the sink becaue I'm washing stuff
anyway and I'm in the mood I will take things out of the dishwasher
and wash them by hand... did that this evening, hand washed all the
glassware and dinner plates, only took ten minutes and means I can go
another week before I have to run it. I know, I'm weird. I don't
mind doing any kind of house work, but I absolutely refuse to clean up
after slobs.
