  I noticed an improvement preheating the water. It’s also probably more energy efficient than letting the dishwasher do it, if it can at all.

  If you live in the US. Dishwashers works very differently in Europe for example.

    Indeed. Both apartments I’ve lived in (in Europe) had the dishwasher hooked up to the cold water feed, so preheating the water would absolutely do nothing at all.

    Ah thanks, I was beginning to question everything I thought I knew about how my dishwasher works.

      Reliably having 3 phase 230 V (thus 400 V delta between two phases) makes a big difference from single phase 120 V. Usually rated at 16 A too, available from each phase pair.

      Almost 10 kW available at the peak (although almost nothing made for regular homes use it that much, aside from electric cars).

      As compared to a US outlet typically limited to 20 A at 120 V in one phase, giving you 2,4 kW (a quarter) or 15 A at 1,8 kW.

  Technically I think he says that IF your dishes don’t already get clean.

    Yeah if you aren’t having issues why make the extra step

  He also said that with modern detergents, you should do colder washes anyway, as the hot water has little benefit.

  Yes. I’ve watched all of them in their entirety
