Expensive little detail ... keeping 40 whatever gallons of water that hot
24/7 for a few dishes a day. The dishwasher just heats up what it uses
from the water heater. Also, I can tolerate hot water on my hands, but
not as hot as the dishwasher gets ... I can't even touch the plates when
the wash/rinse is done without letting them sit, they're nasty hot!

I think most dishwashers come with that anymore.
