Yeah… there’s soap powder residue on my cutlery so I’m having to rinse under the tap before use. Hopefully it’s only because it was in the rapid cycle but there’s nowhere to put rinse aid in this machine and it’s not very convenient to load. I’m also having to let things drip and then put them on a dish towel to finish drying.

Buyers regret. Like I am happy the dishes are getting done because it’s my hardest task but it’s also creating more headaches. Pisses me off because it cost.

Guess I’ll use it in the meantime but will start saving up again and this time actually get something better, something I can see in person. When I get another one I can ask if anyone I know wants it or donate on Givit.

Try using less powder.

  I can but I’m really picky about residue and there’s nowhere extra rinse option

how about tablets that include rinse aid and cutting the tablets in half for small loads

  Kind of adds to labour when I needed to reduce it

    I’ll probably still have to. It’s still full of standing water for roaches because you have to keep the door open. (It’s either fully open right down to the bench or shut. You can’t just crack it.)
    
    And I know at some point someone else is gonna use it without knowing and serve me a coffee full of soap.
    
    I dunno, I’m tired and upset and something that was meant to help out is only aggravating me.
    
    If drastically reducing the soap doesn’t work I’m just packing the thing back into its box so I don’t end up drinking it

  It was the Big W Midea. It looked ok for my needs but I’m getting kinda annoyed actually using it

    use finish liquid cleaner. Powder never fully dissolves in a benchtop. Our sheffield was twice the size of that and still fucked up on powder / tablets. Use about a third of the liquid and you’re golden.

    This is what I use but I also use powder and tablets on occasion.
