There was a thin film of moisture on everything. That made me kind of mad, because we spent a good amount of money to buy a very nice dishwasher unit. It even blows out steam through a vent in the front during the drying process. Later on, there was a leak, and I called the repair man out to fix it. I mentioned that our dishes don&#8217;t get really dry, and he said that it was normal. He said you need to use a rinse agent (Jet Dry) to get the dishes nice and dry. I thought that this was strange. Why couldn&#8217;t the dishwasher manufacturer let the owner specify how long to leave on the drying cycle so that the dishes get dry? I mean, just keep the heat element and the fan going for another half hour. When we lived in Japan, we had a &#8220;dish dryer&#8221;, which was basically an enclosed dishrack that had a small heating element and a fan with timer. That worked pretty damn good. How hard would it be to work something as basic as that into a modern dishwasher, for goodness sakes?!<\/p>\n<p>My only thought is that there must some kind of deal going on between the dishwasher manufacturers and the folks at Jet Dry. I wouldn&#8217;t be surprised if they were in cahoots together, those bastards. Some friends of ours bought a brand new dishwasher recently, and the exact same thing happened. They complained that the dishes weren&#8217;t completely dry, and the company told them, &#8220;Use Jet Dry&#8221;.  I&#8217;d love for somebody to prove me wrong and tell me of a dishwasher model that can completely dry dishes. I&#8217;d probably buy it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When we got our dishwasher a few years ago, I was surprised that the dishes didn&#8217;t come out totally dry.
