> I don't think it hurts to get some information here, but this topic comes up often on Electronics-Talk and there may be more information there. I don't think there is much in the way of a shortcut to going to a large store and looking at some, though. One think you will find with dishwashers is that there are some with flat touch screens, some with flat panels but with buttons underneath that require pressure, and some that actually have buttons. Some remember defaults and some seem to start from scratch. While some have displays with actual messages, some have functions that cause a light to turn on right on the button that is pressed. Examples of functions that work like this are the energy saving settings such as a heated drying cycle or high temperature cycles where the water is heated. These cycles are turned on and off by repeatedly pressing the associated button, but I have been able to double-check the setting with a light probe when it matters.
