How absurd is Donald Trump’s rant about dishwashers? One would have thought that he would have better things to do than try to argue (unsuccessfully of course) that modern day dishwashers are not more efficient including the amount of water used.
I can tell you that the dishwasher/shower head/faucet issue resonates with people, especially those who may have had to replace one of those items during previous administrations when regulators and restrictions were put on them. I heard from a repair person that one of the most desirable items among people who are doing a bathroom remodel is an “old model” shower head.
I live in California and have never had a better bathroom or kitchen, all newly remodeled, and we have the strictest regulations by far.
My showerhead is a 10 gpm beast, rain style, thing is awesome, please show me these showerhead “regulations”. Same with dishwasher, the only reason they take longer is the crazy dry cycles that leave dishes spotless, which is an advancement… You can even turn that off if you desire and have a speed wash just like the outdated systems…
Toilet works with one flush, no plunger has touched it. Zero issues.
Tell your “repair person” to take a new shower head and reach in with your fingers or needle nose pliers and take the restrictor out. A child can do it.
Assuming that “repair person” exists, clearly they are terrible at what they do. But thid sounds like a tall tale to make it sound like Donald Trump is not a deeply weird person.
Good for you. I also remodeled a bathroom (in NJ) in the recent past and both the weak flow in the faucets, and the inferior shower head makes me wish I had kept the old shower head for a month or so after the new one was installed, so I could have the option of switching back. The toilet works well because it wasn’t replaced, much better than the newer model in a downstairs room.
As for my new dishwasher - spotless is what I had with the old one that finally gave out. Now, after wiping and rinsing before they go in the dishwasher, I still have to re-do a half dozen things when they come out.
From around '92 on, all shower heads sold in California were “low flow” models, so perhaps you’re too young to remember what a real shower felt like, and have no basis for comparison.
