I had a GE Profile dishwasher from the 2000's when I moved into my current home. It was abused by the previous owner and sold as not working. I completely rebuilt it and it worked great for a while until it's logic board died and replacements were hard or expensive to source.

But that thing had a powerful masticator. It would slurry up almost any foods. There was a very coarse filter about half the diameter of the drain hose but outside of that there was never anything left in the pan.

It would also monitor the turbidity to determine if it needed to flush the current pan water and add fresh water. It had a soap dispenser so it could re-add soap if needed. That thing was an incredible dishwasher. I still miss it.

A masticator is what I am missing in a dishwasher. We do not have that in Europe (not the faucet electrical thing that mixes and destroys organic dtuff you put in the faucet - this is forbidden)

Not anymore! These are allowed at least in the UK and in Germany (where I reside) now. It was not the case when I first moved here a few years ago, but read about how they're within code now. The problem I have is that they're not actually available anywhere that I've seen, and I doubt I'll find a plumber easily who will install one.

They are still forbidden in France, and not because of the code.

This is because the sanitizing stations are not ready for this kind of mash - they expect cleaner water + oil + larger particles. What they get instead is a substance that kills the bacteria in charge of the sanitization.

Do y'all also not have in-sink macerators?

No, this is what we were discussing (it started with the device in a dishwasher (that one I have never seen) and then moved to the ein-sink one (that I saw when in the US and in horror movies)
