Just realized my neighbor has been right about dishwasher filters this whole time
My neighbor Rick came over last week while I was wrestling my Bosch panel off for the 3rd time this summer. He said “you know those self-cleaning filters are a scam right” and laughed at me. I got defensive but he showed me his 12 year old KitchenAid with a manual filter that he cleans once a month. Looked brand new inside. Now I’m wondering if I should ditch this “self cleaning” garbage and get an old school model instead. Anyone else feel like the new tech is just more headaches?

Man it's like everything now is just adding complexity for no real reason, smart fridges that break and toasters that need wifi updates. We traded solid simple machines for gadgets that look cool but can't last a decade. Sometimes the old way just works and there's nothing wrong with that.

Okay, am I the only one who thought self-cleaning was the gold standard? I completely changed my mind after my neighbor showed me the same thing. My fancy $800 filter unit got so clogged I had to hand-wash dishes for a week. I finally just popped out the mesh screen myself (found a youtube video, seriously) and it was disgusting. Bought a cheap manual filter model on sale last month and it's honestly simpler. I used to think the new tech was better, but now I see it's just more parts to break.
