Folks, I have a new video today where I'm very excited to announce a new dishwasher powder on the market.

Why am I so excited? Because it's vindicated every single one of my detergent opinions.

I was right about dishwasher pods, and now I can prove it

@TechConnectify any thoughts on rinse aid? It seems it's not something that you've mentioned, and anecdotally folks around me have never used it.
@pepper It helps a lot and I would encourage using it, but just buy the cheap stuff. All it is is a mild surfactant.
@TechConnectify that's been my experience too, but I'm just surprised I haven't heard about it in the wild in these discussions, and anecdotally not many people around me use it.

@pepper @TechConnectify In my particular dishwasher, I don't notice any difference with cleaning performance, but not only do dishes come out _much_ dryer, the whole dishwasher does too, which it seems to me is going to be better for everything.

Not to mention the time savings of not having to post-dry dry the dishes.

(You can really tell when you need to refill the dispenser, too - open the door after a cleaning cycle and it's water droplets everywhere.)
