Talk:Dishwasher

message: What is the definition of a mechanical device? Is it because the final function of the dishwasher, the use of water and detergent to rinse cookware, is mechanical/chemical? I'd call a dishwasher at least partly electronic.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by AlexanderM (talk • contribs) 13:32, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

message: I was directed to this site from my question about Jet dry.  I'd still like to know what it is and how it works.  I don't think this article answered my questions on that subject.--69.122.62.231 (talk) 22:45, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Jet dry 

message: According to Energiek, winter 2012: a dishwasher with energyclass A+++ consumes about 30% less electricity and twice less water than a dishwasher of 10 years ago. This makes using a dishwasher more economical than washing by hand.
The energy classes (which also incorporate water use) are not discussed in the article at present, and energy use isn't discussed either.

replies: text: I consolidated this energy comparison, along with issues of dishwasher damage, in a new section on differences between dishwashers and hand washing. There had been a long non-encyclopedic, unsourced section on damage, which someone else deleted 2017-12-29, so I put relevant encyclopedic material here with sources.

message: This article fails to discuss at all the use of and hisotry of diswashers in India, Africa, the Middle East, China or other areas. This is a major shortcoming in what is meant to be a worldwide encyclopedia.John Pack Lambert (talk) 04:43, 11 January 2015 (UTC)

message: I just created phosphates in detergent. On that article's talk page I described how I moved content about "phosphates in detergent" from these articles to there. 
*Dishwashing liquid
*Dishwasher
*Laundry detergent
*Detergent
I put a brief summary of the concept here and am directing readers there for a fuller presentation. I did this because the concept was forked by being independently developed in all these articles, when instead they should all point to one central article.

thread_title:  REF 12  

message: *Nowhere in this article is there a mention of fat, which is very effectively cleaned off frypans by the hot spray, and only becomes a problem years later when enough has coalesced to form a blockage in the pipes under your house, not mentioning any contribution to the fatberg further on, which SEP.
*No mention anywhere of the flexible hose that connects your machine to the water supply. They have a braided outer to prevent rupture due to water hammer that occurs several times during the wash cycle, but does not prevent development of a pinhole (at least with the washing machine you have a tap to turn off when you go on holidays).
*Also not mentioned is the amount of cutlery and crockery you need to meet the "environmental benefits", which are predicated on full loads (with no sneaking out a few items) as against a sinkfull of scalding-hot water after every meal. Or the storage space you sacrifice for the machine. Or the length of time before the "squeaky clean" plates are no longer sterile (if that is a real problem). 
Yes, we do have one, so this is all WP:OR Doug butler (talk) 00:50, 26 April 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Not mentioned 

message: I'm reading the article and under the history section there's either a grammar mistake or some part of the story is missing.
Basically, it states that Europe's first electric washing machine was invented in 1929 and consequently manufactured. But the next paragraph states that the dishwasher was, in fact, invented in 1926, similarly in Europe.
So these statements are clashing, in my opinion unless there's some cultural difference I'm missing here as an American.
P.S. Why does it say Europe's first electric washing machine? Shouldn't it say the world's first washing machine? 198.232.116.14 (talk) 18:37, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
