I have ADHD and the visual reminder would help a lot with dishes

    After I run the dishwasher I leave it "on" until I put away all the dishes, then I turn it off. If I see the blue light and the cycle isn't running, I know there are dishes that need to be put away. If you haven't already tried, see if the dishwasher has a light that can help remind you.

      Oh that’s awesome. Mine definitely doesn’t have an on switch but that sounds like a much easier feature to shop for

        Mine's a countertop dishwasher so it's a little weird. In a previous apartment, I had a normal under-counter dishwasher that had a "clean" light that would light up after a cycle and turn off when you closed it again. Intention being once you open it post-wash, you don't close it fully until you've put away the clean dishes. That won't help you remember to put away dishes right after a cycle, since you can't see the light until you first open the dishwasher, but it will save you the trouble of remembering whether dishes are dirty later on.

        You can just get a magnet. Right side up for "clean", upside down for "dirty". Much cheaper.
