Beep already, wouldja?

I love my new dishwasher. I mean I loved my old one but this one, being as it's new and has superior technology, beats the wee outta my old dishwasher when it comes to making my dishes and pots and pans and flatware all beautiful and sparkly.

But damn if that normal wash cycle doesn't go on and on and on and on. I could read the Lord of the Rings trilogy in the time it takes for it to shut off.
