Apparently pre-rinsing confuses the dishwasher or something. Not doing it leaves me with residue all over the other dishes though 🤷

Star wars Anakin and Padme meme, with a dishwasher poorly GIMPed onto Anakin's face. Dishwasher Anakin: Save water, no need to rinse your dishes first. Padme: And they will come out clean, right? Anakin dishwasher: ... Padme: And they will come out clean, right?

We have 230VAC instead of your guys' puny 120V, so our dishwashers aren't handicapped out of the box and can heat their own water. I feel like having to run the tap before doing dishes is an L for the US, not Germany/Europe?

Wat? We have 230v also. We have both 120v and 220/240.

For a country that's all about doing things big, they sure whimped out on their electrical system

In our defense we were very early to having one and everyone was afraid of electricity at the time

I was gonna say in our defence most of us can't be trusted with high voltage

Electricity in the usa is not weaker than Europe. Since the voltage is half as high, it just takes double the current to do the same work. A heater running 220v at 5 amps and a heater running 110v 10 amps will work exactly the same.

That is actually a perfect example of what I'm saying. You immediately assumed that we're talking about a "rated" "appliance" and not, for example, a "screw" "driver"

Except most home outlets are rated at 16 Amps so at 110V only gives you 1760W of power, whole on a 230v outlet you can get 3680W.
