Apparently pre-rinsing confuses the dishwasher or something. Not doing it leaves me with residue all over the other dishes though 🤷

      We have 230VAC (on all outlets) instead of your guys’ puny 120V, so our dishwashers aren’t handicapped out of the box and can heat their own water properly. I feel like having to run the tap before doing dishes is an L for the US, not Germany/Europe?

              Electricity in the usa is not weaker than Europe. Since the voltage is half as high, it just takes double the current to do the same work. A heater running 220v at 5 amps and a heater running 110v 10 amps will work exactly the same.

                Except most home outlets are rated at 16 Amps so at 110V only gives you 1760W of power, whole on a 230v outlet you can get 3680W.

                That is actually a perfect example of what I’m saying. You immediately assumed that we’re talking about a “rated” “appliance” and not, for example, a “screw” “driver”

            It can be for anything you like. Dishwashers, dryers, heaters, hot water tanks, ac units, ovens, stoves, welders, car chargers, air compressors, hell, I’ve seen 220v coffee makers. If an appliance needs 220 it can be supplied.

      A lot of houses are older than the concept of central heating or running warm water, so there are some homes that don’t have central warm water, but instead small heaters under the kitchen sink/next to the bathroom, which might or might not hook up to dishwashers
