For the last few weeks we have been testing a Whirlpool dishwasher
This is no ordinary dishwasher
It replaced our old faithful dishwasher
And I was tempted for one reason
Because of one specific thing that it apparently does
Leaves your plastic bowls, plates, cups and cutlery
Perfectly clean and perfectly dry
With small children in our house
We use a lot of plastic
For mealtimes and for play
Messy sensory play
Our old dishwasher
Loyal and steadfast as it was
Got most things clean most of the time
But never left them dry
And so with the promise of ‘Power Dry‘
I agreed to give the Whirlpool a go
The Whirlpool Sixth Sense Power Dry
Is quite the dish cleaning machine
It is slightly more modern than our old model
With a wide range of washing options
10 programmes to wash up to 13 place settings
Perfect with the festive season about to fall
This is a clever machine
It has a sixth sense which enables it to detect how dirty your plates are
And clean them accordingly
And the thing that Whirlpool asked us to test
Was the innovative 1 hour Power Dry cycle
That claimed to leave all our dishes not only clean
But also dry
I have tested the cycle a few times now
And am happy to state here on my blog
That it really and truly does work
It leaves our dishes
Plastic or otherwise
Clean and dry
David has commented on how clean our glasses look
They seem to sparkle and shine
And the dishes using this special cycle
Come out dry enough to be put straight back on to the table
Or used again in messy play
With a large young family this is a revolution
An innovation that takes some of the stress out of everyday
And I know that I could wash up by hand
And dry with a tea towel
Or at the very least just dry off the dishes from the old dishwasher
But this does it all
And that is a luxury I am comfortable with
Think of what I can do now
In the time that it saves
With the energy it conserves
The dishwasher is really quiet so it is possible to have it running over night
Or while you are entertaining
I think I can just about remember what it is like to make dinner for guests!
In fact, I had a friend over just a few nights ago
I made Chilli Beef and Nachos with cheese
I cook the beef in an old wonky wok handed down from my mother
And melt the cheese over the top in a glass oven dish
The whole process is icky and sticky
Leaving a glorious mess
Perfect for putting the Whirlpool Power Dry to the test
A test it passed with flying colours
Not a speck of dirt or water in sight at the end of the one hour cycle
We have been testing this dishwasher
For the best part of a month now
There is not much this machine cannot do
And it looks good too
At the moment it looks quite out of place in our little utility room
But when we extend and I get the kitchen of my dreams
The Whirlpool Sixth Sense Power Dry will enjoy pride of place
I have been trialling this dishwasher from Whirlpool
As part of the Winter Whirlpool Challenge
I am not a food blogger
Far from it
I am not very good at cooking at all
But I am good at making a mess
And this machine is very good at cleaning it
To ensure you get a foodie perspective too
Please check out the rest of the reviewing team
And if you have seen enough

We were sent a new Whirlpool dishwasher for the purpose of this review
Oh wow we need a dishwasher for when we hopefully move in next couple of weeks! Looking forward to not having sore hands from washing up-this would be a great win-certainly help with costs! x
