That's why you don't use it much, too far away.
We spent a *long* tiem when we refitted out kitchen (years ago now) to get the dishwasher placed so that it minimised both the putting in and the taking out of crockery and cutlery. We are a household of 3/4/5/6 depending on who is around and we fill it up just about every night.
On the baseline models, it's an instruction in the user guide to tell the operator to open the door a smidge once the program is complete and into the "drying" cycle.
Some of the Miele models have a small louvred vent in the top left of the front panel with a fan behind it, and a (convoluted) path through to the wash compartment - so they spend time blowing warm wet air out of that after they complete the wash.
Others may have other ways yo introduce an air path...
I find ours is exceptionally good at washing... It is very rare for something to need a second wash or any "finishing" by hand.
(although like with many machines you get best results if you *don't* rinse stuff before you let it wash - just discard the big lumps!)
Yup same here... a few years back when SWMBO's passed on, we acquired her newish slimline dishwasher - so I plumbed that in as well. Found it easy enough to fill both - usually once a day.
(which reminds me I must go work out what the fault code on it is telling me, since it won't run a full cycle at the moment!)
Our current one is a SMEG - chosen mainly as it came with a 5 year warranty and only has a few programmes. A previous one was like the space shuttle but we only used a few programmes.
We?ve had several makes over the years, including Bosch, AEG etc. The SMEG is the best of the lot. In particular it is quiet. While we normally run it overnight, it is quiet enough to use even if you are in the kitchen - sometimes needed if we have a lot of dishes etc.

Kindly tell the crockery manufacturers to put drain slots in cup bases....

It does mugs plates glasses and cutlery OK, but it really cant do cookware.
That baked on lasagne residue needs steel wool and 24 hours soaking first THEN it goes in the dishwasher
No one ever uses more than one or two programs. On anything. People with fancy microwaves learn two programs and that's it.
There is on mine, and it doesn't damage the worktop.

I put everything in the Meile no matter have mucky it is, and it all comes out perfect. I couldn't live without it.
Bill
We've only ever used the button which gives you 30s full power. 5 minutes
- 10 presses.
You mean he does not get "dishes" as often? :-)
Yup ours has been really good as well, it's about 25 years old now, and I have only had to repair it once:
Mine is perfect. I still can't understand how it does it so well.
Bill
Ours works perfectly and it's only a relatively cheap Blomberg (Beko).
Might yours have a fault, or perhaps it's the pre-rinsing that might be doing more harm than good? Setting proteins or something? I seem to recall our instruction manual saying not to pre-rinse.
I still am. Brian
Fingers crossed, but ours has been fine for 13 years now.
Up to a point Lord Copper. I'm not at all sure that porridge dried on for three days would really wash off.

It is just a matter of inclination. ;-)

Ha! 45deg. might do it.
