      The entire point of a dishwasher is that it sacrifices a little bit of electricity to save A LOT of water.

      Pre-rinsing is antithetical.

      Yeah. That’s what you’re supposed to do with modern dishwashers. Scrape off any leftovers, but rinsing is unnecessary and just wastes water.

      The dish washing machine does it for you.

      It would be like vacuuming your house by yourself before your Roomba turns on.

        Unethical product idea:

        A “dishwasher” that’s really cheap. Why, you ask? Well, because you need to rinse your dishes thoroughly before using the dishwasher.

        In reality it’s just a box with a speaker so that it sounds like a dishwasher. If any customer complains, just tell them that they need to pre wash their dishes better.

        My dishwasher is pretty new and if I don’t rinse things off relatively thoroughly beforehand I’m guaranteed to have stuck on food bits after the dry cycle.

        Mine doesn’t, although if I do I can run the quick cycle for less than half the energy of the full cycle and still have perfectly clean dishware at the end
