dishwashers

Again, this could be self-defeating. Increase the efficiency by
reducing
power and water use and you are likely (in the real world) to have to
choose say the 2 hour wash instead of the 1-1/2 hour one all the
time to
ensure that everything actually comes out clean. So more consumption

The most efficient (water and elec consumption) wash on ours is
the longest. I assume it relies on giving the enzymes and
detergents longer to work. It also has a longer drying time, I
assume it finishes with a bit of a lower temp.

I'm have reservations about drying in dishwashers. It works to a
degree, I know (it does in ours to some extent, but still leaves
puddles in the bottoms of upturned cups and mugs) but attempting to
dry anything in a closed system like a dishwasher where there's
nowhere for the water vapour to escape is doomed to failure unless the
temperature reaches over 100°C. At anything less, drying relies on the
diffusion of the water vapour out through a small vent, which will be
slow.


The Miele's vent externally using some sort of fan (I can hear it and
stuff does dry). However, still a problem with puddles on cups etc as
you say.

Yup mine has a little louvred vent on the front panel that blows out hot
wet air when drying... (when its fan is not full of gunge and just
squeeking that is!)
