Looks aren't everything

Remember my fancy dancy brand spankin new dishwasher that I was bragging about a few months ago. Well it turns out that I was distracted by it's good looks and should have done a little more comparison shopping. What can I say? I was desperate for a new dishwasher, the salesman talked fancy to me and the dishwasher was so shiny! Lesson learned, looks aren't everything.

I am one of those people that has to wash their dishes before washing them. This means that I have to completely rinse my dishes leaving no residue or particles of food that can be seen with the naked eye before I put them into the dishwasher. I can't, and believe me I've tried, put dirty dishes in my dishwasher. Well that sounds silly, of course they are dirty, I just can't put dishes that have food still on them in the dishwasher. So it would seem unnecessary to get the dishwasher with the bigger motor and the smaller capcity because it cleans stuck on food better. Now I am hand washing more dishes because I can't fit all of my dishes in the dishwasher.

I've never owned anything stainless steel before. When we bought our house and were in the market for a new fridge the salesman tried to talk me into a stainless steel fridge. I wasn't interested. For one thing they were more expensive, for another thing I wanted white. After some time to think about it and to see other's stainless steel fridge's I decided that I liked the look of stainless steel. So when I saw the stainless steel dishwasher and it was in our price range (more than likely because it is too small for a family of 6) I was hooked. I batted my eyelashes at my husband (it was a little more expensive than it's non-stainless steel version) and he bought me the pretty dishwasher. Don't get me wrong, I still do like the way it looks and it is pretty easy to clean. But take a look at this....
Yes, those are feet prints. Not sure exactly how they got there.
