If you think that's bad, you should hear my husband's version of how
to use a garbage disposal...

In any case, DD is redoing her kitchen so I went out looking at
dishwashers with her. Bosch has a setting that washes only the top
rack and it has a crystal and glass cycle that is "gentler" (for lack
of a better descriptive word on my part) than the regular wash cycle
and won't knock the glasses around.

Bosch also uses the ambient heat from the hot water to dry, so there's
no heater coil to melt wayward pieces of plastic. All that and it's
quiet too.
