The Chronic Consumer

After 10 short years, my dishwasher is already on its last legs. I thought a major appliance like this would last a bit longer, but I guess not. I’m not really sure what’s wrong with the thing, but sometimes it simply shuts down about 5-10 minutes into the cycle. I might call in a repairman to take a look at it, or I might just bite the bullet and buy a new machine.

I’ve heard some good things about LG Steam Dishwashers. I’m not familiar with the brand itself, but these steam dishwashers apparently have separate cycle settings for the top and bottom racks, allowing you to attack stubborn pots and pans in one section while running a gentler cycle for your delicate dinnerware. There’s also a quick steam cleaning mode for when you want to shine up your dusty china for a dinner party or whatever.

Sounds great!
