In a video by @[email protected], Alec goes into a deep dive into the simplicity of his particular model, its shortcomings and variety of data logging tests in an attempt to fix them.
TL,DW: Very simple, cheap and ingenious design, with one compressor loop between the fridge and freezer in series. However, its temperature sensor is wonky and so the fridge is more affected by how long the compressor operates than the actual temperature itself. There is a signficant temperature differential between the top and bottom, fans on the exterior or interior could help but with the faulty sensor only made matters worse. With the controller replaced with a proper temp control unit the fridge functioned much better.
@JWBananas So yeah, honestly I feel like you’re missing most of the context in those videos.
I never said pacs don’t work - I said that I suspect they’ve led to a lot of dishwasher dissatisfaction, made an argument as to why, and backed that up with a demo of the pre-wash and how, with no detergent in there, more stuff was left on the plates. That then was the starting point for the main wash cycle, and I figured that difference would speak for itself.
If it didn’t, then /that/ was my mistake
The other guy is totally unnecessarily being a dick, but is perhaps touching upon a good point.
The prewash stage might have a more effective result if some detergent is put in, but there’s no actual value in that if a full main wash without pre-wash detergent results in a completely clean load of dishes.
@Zagorath I see a lot of detergent products advertising “no pre-wash required” on their packaging, at least here in AU.
That’s probably referring to the fact that you shouldn’t prewash by hand before putting something in the dish washer.
It may also simply be inaccurate marketing.
Good (if rather rambly) video about it: https://youtu.be/_rBO8neWw04?t=505
He also touches on that prewash marketing in a second follow-up video to the above. It also discusses the value of rinse aid.
@TechConnectify I think you’re missing the part where I didn’t like the content, and I don’t like you personally, and I unsubscribed. Please stop spamming me.
@JWBananas @Rentlar @SilentStorms ask and you shall receive, but maybe next time untag me first
Ignore that jerk. You’re great, and your detergent videos explained, in exhaustive detail, (as all of your videos do, because that’s literally the whole shtick,) the nuance and context that you were aiming for. Anyone who missed that just wasn’t paying attention.
Also your snarkiness in your videos is amazing and never stop being you.
@[email protected] I like your content, and I like you personally, and I’ve subscribed. Please continue spamming me.
I didn’t fucking tag you in my original post. I don’t even know how you found it in the first place. If this is how the fediverse works, that’s not good.
Dude what the hell? You posted publicly in a public comment thread and are mad when the person you’re talking about responded? You know this could happen on reddit too right? Creators are people too, you absolute dick.
