Unless you virtually wash the stuff before you put it in, it still comes out dirty, dirty and dried on, so you really have to scrub it to get it clean and you still can't put half your stuff in,like breadboards and cast iron pots and big pots. And it costs a few bob for salt and dishwasher tabs and rinse aid which you need, even though they claim you don't. Then there's the glasses, don't put them in with anything grubby not if you want to be able to see through them.
