I recommend Bosch Dishwashers

Having a dishwasher is an absolute MUST. How else can I preserve my smooth and supple hands?

I’m from North East England. It’s boiling water, washing liquid and get stuck in.

There are a lot of good Series on Amazon Prime, I have watched all 6 Seasons of Bosch. I grew up in the Los Angeles area, and know a lot of those places they film. Some other good ones on Prime in UHD are Goliath, Jack Ryan, and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.

There are but sadly the picture quality is so bad I can only view the HD on my 55” X900F from 12-14ft away and the 4K on the 65” Pana OLED Gz2000 from 10ft away. I’m losing the sound even further because I don’t use sound system other than subwoofer for those two TVs.

Why are you watching them in HD when they're available in 4K HDR at no extra charge? I sit around nine feet away and the picture quality looks fantastic on a 55 inch OLED.

I also watch them in 4K HDR at around 7' from my Sony 65" UHD TV, and the PQ and Sound are Terrific!

Some movies are only available in HD.

Is a dishwasher a regular thing in the U.S then?

I just have three hooks and they hang on there. Live alone so only need a Wok, a large saucepan and a small one.

Amazon streaming is the only streaming provider that gives me problems. The image sometimes degrades to below standard definition quality and even to the point where the image breaks up and freezes while the audio runs on. I have to pause, rewind, and wait a minute before I can resume. I do not have any such problems with the other services that I use: Vudu, Netflix, Tubi, PBS, or Youtube- just Amazon.

The irony here is that this is the only streaming service that I actually pay for as I am an Amazon Prime member (for the fast shipping perk).

They're a pretty common appliance in homes. Less so (though not unheard of) in apartments.

Just seems like another power drain for something that can be done more thoroughly by hand. Having said that, unless I’m having guests, the dishes are never excessive.

I think it’s time you baked yourself a Cherry Pie. I might not be alive by the time you finally watch Twin Peaks: The Return!

I love my dishwasher and it does a fine job cleaning the dishes. The other nice thing about it is that it washes the dishes with extremely hot water which is far hotter than I could ever do by hand. Plus, it has a sanitize mode.

A dishwasher is a great place to hide your dirty dishes until the machine is full also. The power usage is nominal; I typically run mine about twice a week.

I do not bake pies, unless they are frozen, and why buy a frozen pie when I can buy one from a bakery already made?

My mortal coil is no impediment to my watching all of my collection. I have said before that I plan to haunt whomever gets my discs.

But you won’t have my vast Twin Peaks knowledge to bounce off.

I can stand it pretty hot. By the time I loaded all the dishes, I could have them done by hand.

I have a nice view from the window while I’m standing doing them also.

I suspect that you'll be around haunting someone somewhere. We might even meet up here:
