Keeping Dishes Clean

Our dishwasher seems to not be cleaning the dishes very well. I bought some Jet Dry to see if it would help. Momoko thinks not. The solution is to buy a new dishwasher.

We have a weird setup in the kitchen. The new floor drops off under the dishwasher. The counters above the dishwasher are particle board which are falling apart. Therefore installation has been a problem in the past. Uneven floor plus no good way to secure the dishwasher equals trouble.

Momoko, Little Kat, and I went to a local appliance store. The salesperson wanted to talk our ear off. When we got a chance, I told her that we needed to study the dishwashers in private. We wanted a standard dishwasher handle to open the thing. The tricky latch on our current model broke down twice. We also need a front panel display.

It turns out we chose a model that is recommended by Consumer Reports. The thing was on sale 30% less than retail price. I decided to go pick the thing up from the warehouse, and hire our handyman to do the tricky install.
