    Ugh… I keep tasting bitter traces of detergent because I did a really hurried job of re-rinsing the dishes. Also went back to using paper bowls to feed the cat on difficult days because the mini dishwasher is such a stuff around.

    I think I’m going to hand wash a few cups and her bowls because I’m tired of drinking soap. Hate this damn thing. I need it for the washing part but on the whole it really isn’t making things much easier.

    Edit: Fuck it, rewashing everything by hand

      Does the manufacturer have any recommendations on their website for a particular powder or product in a particular dose?

        Nah, the Lemmit DT had suggestions though. I bought three different types of detergent trying to solve this (one powder, two liquids)… reducing the detergent does nothing but stop it cleaning the dishes well. Running another load without detergent to rinse also doesn’t work. Nothing is clogged. It is carefully stacked despite the limited inefficient space available…

        It’s just not very good.

          Ah dang it. That’s pretty frustrating, for sure. I had one once like that and found I eventually started just washing the dishes by hand and using it to just do the rinse in hot water. I always had to make sure I opened the door immediately after the cycle ended or the water wouldn’t evaporate either and I’d end up hand drying too. Stupid appliances that are supposed to make things easier but don’t!

            I know right 😩 If handwashing wasn’t such an issue for me I’d just not bother with the machine
