<v Speaker 1>Let's hear from the expert.

0:00:16.880 --> 0:00:17.720
<v Speaker 2>Andrew Lachlan.

0:00:17.880 --> 0:00:21.880
<v Speaker 3>Good morning, good morning, well, good evening. If in the

0:00:22.000 --> 0:00:23.360
<v Speaker 3>UK we're upside down.

0:00:23.560 --> 0:00:26.960
<v Speaker 4>Andrew, how do you become a certified dishwasher expert?

0:00:27.960 --> 0:00:32.000
<v Speaker 5>Well, it's not not exactly something that you just fall

0:00:32.040 --> 0:00:36.720
<v Speaker 5>into necessarily. But I've worked for WHICH, which is the

0:00:36.800 --> 0:00:40.960
<v Speaker 5>UK consumer organization, for well over ten years, so I'm

0:00:41.000 --> 0:00:41.960
<v Speaker 5>working product testing.

0:00:42.120 --> 0:00:44.519
<v Speaker 1>I've tested everything from a print to.

0:00:44.560 --> 0:00:47.479
<v Speaker 5>A TV to all sorts of stuff, but one of

0:00:47.479 --> 0:00:50.360
<v Speaker 5>my things is dishwashers. I test around sixty five a

0:00:50.479 --> 0:00:53.600
<v Speaker 5>year running project that does that, so you see the

0:00:53.640 --> 0:00:54.760
<v Speaker 5>worst and the best.

0:00:54.960 --> 0:00:56.480
<v Speaker 2>Questions, questions.

0:00:56.520 --> 0:01:00.240
<v Speaker 3>I've put the draws in my house. The dishwasher in

0:01:00.320 --> 0:01:04.200
<v Speaker 3>Bachelor do they clean as well as the old pulls

0:01:04.200 --> 0:01:05.760
<v Speaker 3>down traditional dishwasher.

0:01:05.959 --> 0:01:08.839
<v Speaker 5>You're doing like a compact dishwasher, so it's a smaller one.

0:01:08.959 --> 0:01:11.240
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, you know me in Bachelor Pets, Yeah, I've got

0:01:11.280 --> 0:01:12.040
<v Speaker 4>it in the kitchen.

0:01:13.800 --> 0:01:17.319
<v Speaker 5>Unfortunately, they don't. They don't very very rarely do well

0:01:17.319 --> 0:01:21.800
<v Speaker 5>in our tests. They are not if your compromise for space.

0:01:23.080 --> 0:01:26.600
<v Speaker 5>They do have a place, but you are taking a

0:01:26.640 --> 0:01:27.920
<v Speaker 5>bit of a hit on quality.

0:01:28.160 --> 0:01:31.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, she's not actually so excited.

0:01:31.319 --> 0:01:33.600
<v Speaker 4>It's not actually for space. She just thought she was

0:01:33.640 --> 0:01:35.480
<v Speaker 4>ahead of the curve. You thought it was the way

0:01:35.480 --> 0:01:35.720
<v Speaker 4>to go.

0:01:35.920 --> 0:01:36.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you can.

0:01:36.920 --> 0:01:40.000
<v Speaker 3>You can go and knock on the drawer and open it.

0:01:40.080 --> 0:01:41.560
<v Speaker 3>If you've forgotten to put something in, you put it

0:01:41.560 --> 0:01:43.399
<v Speaker 3>into the drawer where all the water comes out.

0:01:43.480 --> 0:01:45.360
<v Speaker 2>Okay, here's the big one. Here's the big one, Andrew.

0:01:46.000 --> 0:01:50.160
<v Speaker 4>Do you need to rinse your plates and get everything

0:01:50.200 --> 0:01:51.000
<v Speaker 4>off them before you.

0:01:50.920 --> 0:01:51.880
<v Speaker 2>Put them in a dishwasher?

0:01:52.640 --> 0:01:55.520
<v Speaker 1>No? Absolutely, categorically no.

0:01:56.240 --> 0:01:59.800
<v Speaker 5>And the reason why is because the dishwasher is set

0:01:59.840 --> 0:02:02.480
<v Speaker 5>up to clean your blades. If you do basically the

0:02:02.560 --> 0:02:06.080
<v Speaker 5>job of cleaning it not only kind of wasting energy

0:02:06.120 --> 0:02:09.080
<v Speaker 5>and water, but actually you're kind of messing with the

0:02:09.080 --> 0:02:12.600
<v Speaker 5>dishwasher system. So the way a dishwasher works, typically most

0:02:12.639 --> 0:02:16.720
<v Speaker 5>people pick the auto program. The way that works is

0:02:16.960 --> 0:02:20.080
<v Speaker 5>it doesn't look at what you've stacked. It looks at

0:02:20.160 --> 0:02:22.000
<v Speaker 5>how cloudy and dirty the water is.

0:02:22.120 --> 0:02:23.680
<v Speaker 1>It's got a sensor inside.

0:02:25.600 --> 0:02:28.960
<v Speaker 5>It's called a stability sensor, and basically it looks how

0:02:29.000 --> 0:02:31.760
<v Speaker 5>cloudy the water is so if you're basically putting clean

0:02:31.840 --> 0:02:34.400
<v Speaker 5>water through, it doesn't really know what it's supposed to do.

0:02:35.320 --> 0:02:38.480
<v Speaker 5>And also it kind of needs you to put your

0:02:38.600 --> 0:02:41.160
<v Speaker 5>normal load. How you would put dirty dishes in?

0:02:42.040 --> 0:02:44.680
<v Speaker 3>How dirty though? Like can you lay food scraps on

0:02:44.720 --> 0:02:45.040
<v Speaker 3>the plate?

0:02:45.160 --> 0:02:45.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

0:02:45.480 --> 0:02:48.160
<v Speaker 4>Like and the battered chicken still have rice on it?

0:02:48.280 --> 0:02:49.959
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I mean a bit of rice is fine. I

0:02:50.000 --> 0:02:52.480
<v Speaker 5>think any like real big chunks of food scraping off

0:02:52.520 --> 0:02:55.480
<v Speaker 5>into the bin or the compost if you fond of

0:02:55.480 --> 0:02:58.919
<v Speaker 5>the gun. But anything that is just like a bit

0:02:58.960 --> 0:03:00.840
<v Speaker 5>of a smear on a plate, don't worry about it.

0:03:00.840 --> 0:03:02.560
<v Speaker 5>It's it's set up to clean it and if your

0:03:02.560 --> 0:03:04.079
<v Speaker 5>dishwash is good, it'll deal with it.

0:03:04.200 --> 0:03:04.960
<v Speaker 1>No rinsing.

0:03:05.240 --> 0:03:06.280
<v Speaker 2>I love this segment.

0:03:06.760 --> 0:03:09.079
<v Speaker 4>What I love this is the stuff you would not.

0:03:09.160 --> 0:03:15.480
<v Speaker 3>No okay question wine glasses Are they safe in the dishwasher? Yeah?

0:03:15.480 --> 0:03:19.639
<v Speaker 5>Absolutely, I mean like you probably anything that's like crystal

0:03:19.960 --> 0:03:23.919
<v Speaker 5>or like really nice. That's where a pick a delicate

0:03:24.000 --> 0:03:27.680
<v Speaker 5>cycle which used around forty degrees, right, they should be fine.

0:03:27.720 --> 0:03:30.160
<v Speaker 5>I mean, like the rule of thumb is, if you

0:03:30.280 --> 0:03:32.200
<v Speaker 5>drink out of it, put it on the top rag.

0:03:32.360 --> 0:03:34.680
<v Speaker 5>If you eat out of put it on the bottom.

0:03:34.880 --> 0:03:38.119
<v Speaker 2>You know, I did not know that rule, but yeah,

0:03:38.560 --> 0:03:40.640
<v Speaker 2>it's not commonly known. In my group of.

0:03:40.600 --> 0:03:42.920
<v Speaker 3>Friend draws is only one level. But you can flip

0:03:42.920 --> 0:03:44.080
<v Speaker 3>these little things down on the side.

0:03:44.280 --> 0:03:46.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, we've all got the flip. We've all got

0:03:46.040 --> 0:03:46.320
<v Speaker 2>the flip.

0:03:46.320 --> 0:03:48.080
<v Speaker 4>You know what I only realized the other day, Andrew,

0:03:48.120 --> 0:03:50.560
<v Speaker 4>You'll be You'll be just like, oh boy, you haven't lived.

0:03:50.400 --> 0:03:51.720
<v Speaker 3>The level of the top shelf.

0:03:51.720 --> 0:03:54.040
<v Speaker 4>I didn't realize you could lower the level of the

0:03:54.040 --> 0:03:54.920
<v Speaker 4>top shelf.

0:03:54.760 --> 0:03:58.760
<v Speaker 3>For long stems to get like like a long stem

0:03:58.800 --> 0:03:59.480
<v Speaker 3>wine glass in.

0:03:59.800 --> 0:04:01.760
<v Speaker 5>Or or if you want to put some stuff below

0:04:02.480 --> 0:04:04.800
<v Speaker 5>that's high you don't want to block the sprays, you

0:04:04.840 --> 0:04:08.000
<v Speaker 5>can move up. Blow.

0:04:08.680 --> 0:04:11.840
<v Speaker 3>I've got another question. I mean, if there, if I

0:04:11.880 --> 0:04:13.600
<v Speaker 3>was going to the Olympics for something, it would be

0:04:13.600 --> 0:04:18.400
<v Speaker 3>stacking the dishwasher in the cutlery like the knives are together,

0:04:17.880 --> 0:04:19.360
<v Speaker 3>the spoons together.

0:04:19.320 --> 0:04:24.039
<v Speaker 4>Just quickly knives up, ard knives down, doesn't matter, depends,

0:04:24.120 --> 0:04:25.000
<v Speaker 4>it doesn't matter.

0:04:25.120 --> 0:04:27.479
<v Speaker 5>But I would usually say put any sharp knives down

0:04:27.480 --> 0:04:28.679
<v Speaker 5>in case because you could scrap.

0:04:29.880 --> 0:04:33.600
<v Speaker 3>Now. I'm sure you're going to give me the textbook

0:04:33.640 --> 0:04:38.120
<v Speaker 3>correct answer here, But for us me immortals, how often

0:04:38.520 --> 0:04:42.960
<v Speaker 3>do we need to run the dishwasher cycle on the dishwasher, Like.

0:04:43.000 --> 0:04:44.800
<v Speaker 2>You know, you clean the n get that and you

0:04:44.800 --> 0:04:45.880
<v Speaker 2>get a little get.

0:04:45.720 --> 0:04:47.760
<v Speaker 3>That orange orange upside down?

0:04:48.680 --> 0:04:49.640
<v Speaker 2>Are you the cleaning bottle?

0:04:50.279 --> 0:04:51.800
<v Speaker 3>Do you need to clean the dishwasher now?

0:04:51.839 --> 0:04:55.480
<v Speaker 5>I would say probably once every twenty to twenty five cycles.

0:04:55.520 --> 0:04:57.880
<v Speaker 1>You probably want to run a machine machine cycle.

0:04:57.800 --> 0:05:02.120
<v Speaker 3>Wash O, we're filthy, p we are twenty cycles? Like

0:05:02.160 --> 0:05:02.719
<v Speaker 3>you've got four?

0:05:02.760 --> 0:05:03.480
<v Speaker 2>Key? How many kids?

0:05:03.520 --> 0:05:04.000
<v Speaker 3>You got three?

0:05:04.120 --> 0:05:06.960
<v Speaker 2>I think I think I think three plus, so you would.

0:05:06.800 --> 0:05:08.480
<v Speaker 3>Do twenty cycles? You know what I mean? You should

0:05:08.480 --> 0:05:10.640
<v Speaker 3>be doing it every week? Just about.

0:05:13.560 --> 0:05:14.400
<v Speaker 1>How much using me?

0:05:14.400 --> 0:05:16.800
<v Speaker 5>And it also depends as well, Like people always forget

0:05:16.839 --> 0:05:18.080
<v Speaker 5>to get the spray arms out.

0:05:18.279 --> 0:05:20.440
<v Speaker 1>Get them out every sort of month.

0:05:20.520 --> 0:05:23.640
<v Speaker 2>Probably spray out all those things that go round. Actually

0:05:23.640 --> 0:05:25.320
<v Speaker 2>take them out, Yeah.

0:05:25.240 --> 0:05:27.279
<v Speaker 5>Take them out, and like because they get blocked with food,

0:05:27.400 --> 0:05:29.720
<v Speaker 5>Like you'll block the jets and you want to take

0:05:29.760 --> 0:05:33.160
<v Speaker 5>them out. Get a little like a match stick or

0:05:33.160 --> 0:05:35.880
<v Speaker 5>something like that, or tooth pick, pick anything out and

0:05:35.920 --> 0:05:38.400
<v Speaker 5>then run some water through them and then you'll find

0:05:38.400 --> 0:05:39.480
<v Speaker 5>that they run better.

0:05:39.720 --> 0:05:47.920
<v Speaker 3>And youre telling was no one's doing that? I have

0:05:48.120 --> 0:05:51.200
<v Speaker 3>never in all of my years of popping into friends

0:05:51.200 --> 0:05:53.960
<v Speaker 3>houses have I I've walked in on them doing the vacuuming.

0:05:54.000 --> 0:05:55.760
<v Speaker 3>I've walked in on them doing the mopping. I've walked

0:05:55.760 --> 0:05:57.680
<v Speaker 3>in on them changing the beds. I've never walked in

0:05:58.360 --> 0:06:01.160
<v Speaker 3>and soon someone what did you call it?

0:06:01.200 --> 0:06:02.120
<v Speaker 2>The squirter arms?

0:06:05.760 --> 0:06:07.440
<v Speaker 1>Never clean the.

0:06:07.360 --> 0:06:10.240
<v Speaker 5>Filter clean the spray arms on a periodic basis. We're

0:06:10.279 --> 0:06:12.760
<v Speaker 5>on the machine cycle. You know, do it and you

0:06:12.800 --> 0:06:14.560
<v Speaker 5>will find it does improve results.

0:06:14.640 --> 0:06:16.280
<v Speaker 3>What's dishwasher do you have in your house?

0:06:16.360 --> 0:06:16.560
<v Speaker 5>Oh?

0:06:16.640 --> 0:06:18.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you know what? I reckon? You have? I reckon?

0:06:18.400 --> 0:06:19.520
<v Speaker 4>You have one of those ones I have in the

0:06:19.520 --> 0:06:22.599
<v Speaker 4>industrial kitchens, you know, the big mill ones with the handles.

0:06:22.680 --> 0:06:24.839
<v Speaker 2>They pulled the handles a couple of seconds.

0:06:24.880 --> 0:06:25.560
<v Speaker 3>What have you got?

0:06:26.240 --> 0:06:27.919
<v Speaker 5>Well, I don't actually have a great dealer space in

0:06:27.960 --> 0:06:29.479
<v Speaker 5>my kitchen as well, so I have a slim I

0:06:29.480 --> 0:06:32.760
<v Speaker 5>have a slim line dishwasher from a certain brand, which

0:06:32.960 --> 0:06:37.440
<v Speaker 5>obviously couldn't endorse. But yeah, I only have a slim

0:06:37.480 --> 0:06:39.279
<v Speaker 5>line dish washing because I don't have a great dealer space.

0:06:39.360 --> 0:06:42.680
<v Speaker 2>But didn't want to go the drawers, did we?

0:06:44.320 --> 0:06:47.359
<v Speaker 1>Unfortunately? Yeah, I'm not tempted to buy the drawers. I'm afraid.

0:06:47.720 --> 0:06:49.279
<v Speaker 1>You know, we have tested them and.

0:06:50.720 --> 0:06:53.159
<v Speaker 2>She was so proud when she got the dish rushing draws.

0:06:53.960 --> 0:06:58.480
<v Speaker 2>I got great. No, I like them.

0:06:58.480 --> 0:07:01.159
<v Speaker 3>I don't have to bend down. I saw someone who

0:07:01.200 --> 0:07:04.480
<v Speaker 3>had installed their dishwasher like a meter off the ground

0:07:04.680 --> 0:07:06.160
<v Speaker 3>so theyn't have to bend down to put the dishwash

0:07:06.200 --> 0:07:07.280
<v Speaker 3>and then straws below it.

0:07:07.279 --> 0:07:08.479
<v Speaker 2>It's not the silliest thing in the world.

0:07:08.560 --> 0:07:08.880
<v Speaker 3>I know.

0:07:10.360 --> 0:07:12.840
