I didnt realise that this dishwasher didnt have a rinse function otherwise I wouoldnt have bought it. A rinse function is important when you dont need to put the dishwasher on every day, so by rinsing them, it stops the smell. If I dont put it on each day, when I open it, it really smells, so I'm feeling I'm having to put it on each day just for a couple of pots which isnt efficient.
