dishwasher.
- Drying with forced (fan) heated air
- Quiet
- Reliability

We have another dishwasher that is used for china and crystal, etc. so
the one we're replacing is the work horse, pots, pans, and other
(expendable) daily stuff.

Thanks,

Hmmm,
You wash crystal(real crystal) and china(gold trimmed collectible
vintage) in a washer? What brand/model is it? I wish I could have a
washer safe enough for that task.

The key here is to not use a conventional dishwasher detergent. That
will destroy crystal. Since this machine sees pretty clean (well
rinsed) surfaces anyway, 2 to 3 ml per load of sodium dodecyl sulfate is
all we use.
