A Tribute To a Major Appliance Dishwasher

I'm an Ultra Quiet with a whir Frigidaire 24” Built-In White Dishwasher Energy saver With hot and cold stir Oh yes they do make a dishwasher I’m getting so old they just don't know They think I can do the job like a pro Baskets are crumbling Rust on everything I'm ready to blow and overflow Naive people believe what labels sell They use a lemon scent liquid gel States; “No" pre-washing Leaves dishes sparkling All lies, it makes the dishes look like hell They have hard water in their home So the liquid soap makes no foam Barnacles have formed Heating elements deformed I'm tired of their complaints when they get home I'm an Ultra Quiet with a snore Frigidaire 24” Built-In White Dishwasher Energy saver No, not any more Oh yes, they do need a new dishwasher 9/22/2015 Contest Name: A Tribute to a Major Appliance Sponsor: Mary Oliver Rotman

very good one on a dishwasher and it sounds like it could be MINE. That thing was supposed to be best on market but oh my gosh, even from the start it was not great. we don't have soft water and I figure nothing will ever work for us, so today I am the damn dishwasher in the house. uggggg

Haha.... I do have a water softening system and it helps some but it still causes a lot of problems. I don't mind washing the dishes they do come out cleaner then the dishwasher. Hugs Eve

Dishwashers are such a marvellous appliance, but I love taking the kids somewhere there isn't one. Show them what the "olden" days were like! I enjoyed this, nice write
