That dishwasher video remake
Added 2024-06-10 22:29:07 +0000 UTCGood evening everyone,
Since most people responded to the poll about this with "go ahead" - and since this was an easy thing to make in an otherwise busy month - I decided to give this a try.
Honestly, this is equal parts "I want to be helpful," "I want to experiment with a remake on YouTube," and "I want to reorganize my thoughts." I put less emphasis on the detergent product this time because, well, it seems like the market is All Pods All The Time and while I have plenty of reasons to be annoyed with that, given how hard it is to obtain plain powder I figured I would emphasize that the least.
I elected not to do bloopers or credits this time. That's in part because this is a remake and honestly pretty lazy content, but also there weren't any good bloopers because I had to re-record this due to a technical error. The second go around has fewer bloops and what few there are are more me being supremely irritated so... yeah it wouldn't be any fun!
I'm editing that Connextras video I tease right now and I'll have that up shortly. My intention is to release both tomorrow so I can spend the day prepping for the next project and also OpenSauce which is very soon!
Oh - and I'll be doing captions for the main channel vid tonight as well as putting chapters in. I'd like people to be able to use the video however they'd like, especially since it still ended up on the longer side. I just can't help myself...

Those Finish Power Ball MAX don't work well for me. Quantum works amazing.

2024-06-29 22:27:51 +0000 UTCI just used the info from this video with my dish washer, and it worked! So I HAD to support the Patreon.

2024-06-12 19:16:06 +0000 UTCYeah, video was good, but no music at the end was really jarring.

2024-06-12 17:32:00 +0000 UTCI love your channel and I am only posting this here so I don’t get a lot of angry commenters. The one argument I have for pods is accessibility. For someone with weakness, tremors or limited range of motion, dishwasher (and clothes washer) pods are easier and often literally less painful to use. They are light, can be purchased in small bags, and don’t risk spilling power or gel all over the kitchen (or laundry room). Many products and features may seem quirky or unnecessary, but for people who need them, they’re greatly useful. If I can make one suggestion in making future videos, try to think about accessibility. This is particularly relevant as the Baby Boomers get older and more are affected by arthritis and other conditions.

2024-06-11 16:50:32 +0000 UTCWhile I understand why you didn't include a blooper reel, the lack of end credit music leaves me feeling like the video never actually finished. 🫠

2024-06-11 15:02:48 +0000 UTCThis seems like a great version of the video to share, and will hopefully help a bunch more people who don’t have the attention span for “an hour on better dish washing” ;-) Ewen

2024-06-11 08:39:04 +0000 UTCYeah, that was concise and thorough. I’m glad you did do it! I’ll try running my tap before the cycle-thank you!

2024-06-11 08:21:49 +0000 UTCSame it really surprised me to hear this was a problem because my local grocery has 5 or 6 to choose from.

2024-06-11 02:57:52 +0000 UTCMy current landlord special has the same thing and it makes it do a very poor job at cleaning any odd shaped glasses on the top rack. Namely wine glasses. :(
Devon Redekopp
2024-06-11 02:57:04 +0000 UTCOh no, that's exactly what it had. I didn't really want to explain the difference and the way those work (where it's just a fan of water at the center) it seems a miracle that they can even clean. But it did!

2024-06-11 02:48:12 +0000 UTCAre you sure the cheap apartment dishwasher didn't have a telescoping sprayer that pops out of the main spray arm to get to the top rack. Some very cheap dishwashers have this. Usually there is kind of a vertical tunnel in the bottom rack so you can't block it with dishes. (The tunnel kind of looks like an angel food cake pan in the center of the rack).

2024-06-11 02:31:47 +0000 UTCThere’s another workaround for broken dispensers: Just open the dishwasher around the time it should open the dispenser and toss in detergent. My dispenser likes to get stuck shut, so I try to check it a minute or two after the wash cycle starts. I’ve never had a dishwasher with a locking door, so I just open it when the wash cycle is running, check the dispenser, then close it, and hit the start button to resume. Probably not the best approach in the world, but it’s been working fine for a few years 🤷♂️

2024-06-11 01:57:10 +0000 UTCI have no problem getting both powder and pods where I am in Canada.

2024-06-11 01:25:06 +0000 UTCYou can still get powder detergent at target! I get a big box of their store brand for like 6 bucks and it lasts forever!
Sara Urban
2024-06-11 01:23:18 +0000 UTCGreat! At 22:45 I really wish for “what you want if your dispenser is broken” reminder.

2024-06-11 00:46:41 +0000 UTCGood job on this video--it really focuses on the most important points. Been using Wal-Mart powder ever since I watched the first video, but I guess I've been using too much, so that changes from here on out. Thanks Alec.😊👍

2024-06-11 00:36:27 +0000 UTCI just wonder if Barret dies in this one.

2024-06-10 23:56:29 +0000 UTCEver since the original video on dishwashers, I traded to Walmart powders. And it works great!
Eric B Wolman
2024-06-10 23:51:25 +0000 UTCAs with others, I gotta go online to the store-that-shall-not-be-named to get powder. I typically stock up and buy 4+ boxes at a time.
Dre
2024-06-10 23:45:58 +0000 UTCI cant buy powder in the shops here in the UK, but since I seen you last video on the subject, I've started getting it online, my machine works better than ever 😉
Kris Gair
2024-06-10 23:25:16 +0000 UTCThank you. I appreciate all the work you put in to your videos. I have been following you for years and it only gets better (your puns/jokes get better too). Your efforts really show and I get a lot of enjoyment watching and following. Now only if I could play on some of those pinball machines and juke boxes myself! 💯

2024-06-10 23:21:07 +0000 UTCAldi replace their bottled dishwasher gel with their own brand of pods. Now I’ve resorted to name brand Cascade from Menards. 😞
Jake Laack
2024-06-10 22:56:39 +0000 UTCI for one have been using detergent gel ever since I watched your first video. It's a good compromise I think: it's readily available online, cheaper than pods, let me add some on the door for pre-washing, and it's not as annoying as the powder.

2024-06-10 22:44:22 +0000 UTCI have to buy my powder detergent online now!
Patrick Colvin
2024-06-10 22:37:31 +0000 UTCCurious to see the revisit.... Related, not even my local Walmart seems to stock dish powder anymore. Got a big box at Ollie's bargain outlet at least.
