Appliances that are too efficient to be effective?

Over the past 10 years every now and then a discussion comes up about appliances and how the new ones are no good because of their water-saving features. Here and elsewhere. I don’t doubt other people’s experiences, but mine is that we have a Whirlpool washer and a Kitchen-Aid dishwasher and have had no problems. I use no more than 2 TBS of detergent in the washer and about half what the dishwasher lines indicate. I often do use an additional rinse in the washer because my husband has sensitive skin. The regular wash cycle takes 59 minutes. The dishwasher’s regular cycle runs around 2 hrs but the 1 hour setting works fine also. I have to believe that some of the complaints are user error but I am sure not all. Oh, and I have never had a problem with smell in my front-loading washer. I leave the door open slightly after a wash and sometimes I remember to wipe the gasket. Your experience may be different.
