discovered that popular fast-wash cycles on dishwashers actually consume more energy and water, cost more than main or eco washes, and perform worse in terms of cleaning and drying.In the consumer champion's 2024 product tests, the watchdog tested over 3,000 products across 200 categories including food and drink, and home and kitchen.
