The virtue of hand washing dishes escapes me. I use the regular cycle
and never rinse anything before shoving in the dishwasher - I put the
pots and pans in too, the glass turntable from the microwave, oven
racks when cleaning the oven, it all comes out far better than I would
have done. I don't use the drying/heating cycle at all, they air dry
nicely. It's a very quiet dishwasher, my daughter had the same one
and I liked that aspect of it so bought it when I moved here. Not
expensive, a non elaborate Frigidaire.
