Apparently pre-rinsing confuses the dishwasher or something. Not doing it leaves me with residue all over the other dishes though ๐Ÿคท

Oh you (rest of the world), with your 220vac everywhere and your "yeah electricity can heat that up" attitude.

I'll give you the gift of super advanced technology!

Don't let it fool you. I know a robot in disguise when I see one.

We can have 220-240vac 60hz in America by going across the two hot legs...we just don't because reasons.

I think the 220vac is just Europe, isn't it?

Just a note: Australia and NZ are 'officially' 230v but are in reality 240v.

We were historically 240v and nothing actually changed at an infrastructure level, just the standard which says we're at 230v -6%/+10% (which allows for up to 252v, ie. 240v +5%, the old standard)

Europe is 240V too

220, 230, whatever it takes.
