Could you give me more on the dishwasher thing you mentioned? We built a house 3 years ago and our dishwasher never dries dishes. They've replaced it 3 times and now we're considering removal and adding cabinets if they don't work.
"Energy Star" certifications gimped a lot of appliances from doing a good job with things. Not using enough water, not using enough heat to dry... Plus you have manufacturers building in planned obsolesence so you're forced to buy a new one every 5-10 years.
Also: Detergents were gimped. Chlorox, which is certainly a harmful chemical, years ago was gimped by probably Proctor & Gamble or whoever makes it. It was a noticable change when it happened. I try to prewash all my dishes before washing them now otherwise the shit won't get cleaned.
Ok. Did a little research on this too. I see they removed the heating element on dishwashers and opted for a cooling fan to condense water from dishes into the tub, thinking it would drip down to the drain. Doesn't work well with new polymers and plastics being used on cookware and utensils. Works better if using stoneware or metals because they retain heat to evaporate the water allowing it to condense onto the tub. Now I know! Thank you!
Yes, they removed the heating element.
Also they reduced the pressure on the water jets/pumps.
All to 'save the environment', mandated by the Obozo-era EPA.
Air conditioners got gimped by removing Freon.
