After watching his dishwasher episode I lost all respect for him. He clearly forced that episode and his conclusions were predetermined so he could have a clickbait video title/theme.

Can you elaborate? That episode really worked for me, and fit with my own experience of dishwashers and adding pre wash. My latest machine doesn't have a prewash holder, but does have a prewash cycle on the eco setting - which cleans fine for the majority of my needs - but if things are filthy I through some bicarb in to the machine before I turn it on and it is awesome.
I’m getting ready to hop into some meetings, so here is the short version, I can elaborate more later today.

So he only measured cleaning results after the pre wash cycle and not after the full cycle. Obviously you would expect a short wash with soap to be better than a short wash without. And the results there were a lot closer than I would have expected.

He completely ignored final results while opining that dishwasher tabs aren’t effective without actually testing them side by side.

Cheers, I get your drift ;)

I can see what you mean but I feel his outcome has some validity and I find his video/tv stuff far far more interesting

All respect? Sheesh. He still makes great content even if you don't agree with that single video.
It just kind of ruined it for me. There is so much great content out there, and maybe I’m being too picky but I’d rather watch something else now.
