A couple of years ago I bought an Asco dishwasher because it lasts, works well and is energy efficient. I found a button that said Economy and since I am all for conserving and being economical I pressed it and the machine worked well and cleaned the dishes. A while later I had the occasion to read the manual. It said that the Economy button saved electricity and used more water. I realized that for one person conserving means saving electricity (they appear to have plenty of water in Scandinavia where the Asco comes from...) while another person doesn't mind using a little more electricity if it means saving water (that would be me living in the desert in New Mexico...). Well, of course I switched the Economy setting off. A little more electricity, a little less water. and the dishes are still clean... And when there isn't a hole load for the dishwasher I'll do the dishes by hand......ever noticed that there are two kinds of people - the washers and the dryers?   12:00:00 AM  comment []
