It isn’t so bad til canning season and then I need the sink and it’s got dirty dishes, or clean dishes waiting to be rinsed, and I need all my countertop and half of it has dishes draining. I’m so happy to have a dishwasher again.
Yes, it’s only been 18 months since I had a dishwasher. I haven’t used the powder in years and years . . always used the gel stuff, which is what I bought for this one. The fact that the pods are in “dissolvable” plastic and I’m on a septic tank kinda concerns me so I won’t use those.
