Do all new high efficiency dishwashers suck? What's the deal with all the manufacturers and review sites recommending the use of a rinse agent?
For those that don't know, a rinse agent is a chemical applied as the final step in the cleaning process. Not all the rinse agent is removed, so you are eating chemical residue.
I think I'll repair my old low efficiency model.
No, many of them think minimum wage is a fortune back home and they will do a great job.
We installed a new Bosch dishwasher a few years ago and it's incredible. It's small, quiet, and cleans like a motherfuc*er. My wife puts rinse agent in it every now and again, but I don't notice the difference whether there's rinse agent or not.
No. Give him or her a chance. I don't have any dishwashing experience, but I'm a quick learner and a hard worker and I'm sure I can meet your expectations. In my heart I know I'm a suds-buster.
I meant to mention that I have the sole of a dish dog.
What is a "dish dog?" I've never heard that term...
OP: my brand new (6 months ago) dishwasher cleans much better than my old (early 90s) dishwasher that I replaced. It is also far quieter. It takes a little longer to complete a cycle though. I don't use a rinse agent.

Kind of funny that you don't even mention the brand of your new, better, quieter washer.
I have never used an automatic dishwasher and don't need or want one.

I find it kind of funny that that bothers you.
We have a new efficiency washer and hate it. Way more maintenance, towels stink, and you have to leave the door open to prevent mold growth. Uses less water so you sometimes have to run it twice to get things fully clean. How is that saving energy!
And yes, we do all the recommended maintenance including the clean cycles.
I don't want a dishwasher you have to open the door to fully dry the dishes, use extra chemicals for clean dishes, or clean a filter every three months. I also don't want to wait 2 hours for a cycle to complete.
I really don't care how quiet they are or how little water they use. I want hassle-free and clean dry dishes fast.
For the reading challenged, we currently have a HE clothes washers. We don't want to get burned again on a HE dishwasher.Another complaint is our current dishwasher, has solid METAL sprayer arms on the bottom. The new ones all have cheap plastic...

Hey. I dunno about your dishwasher but mine is extremely efficient. I really am pleased with it. It’s not your typical dishwasher you find at the local store. I searched online for a good commercial use dishwasher because, hey those things are powerful and clean your dishes faster and in my opinion better than all the stuff they sell on the main market. It doesn’t break at all, and I’ve been using it for the past 3 years. It took a while to ship since it’s from the magical land down under but I couldn’t be more pleased with it. They have a great selection on their website : https://ianboer.com.au/washing/. Highly recommend it for your home.
