dishwashers

Question

After perusing your teshuvot regarding domestic dishwashers I have a few questions. Do you consider a dishwasher a kli sheni only? What about a power boost that heats the water in the dishwasher - Does that make the diswasher a kli rishon? If so, what about mamashot from the dishes? If it is a kli sheni only, do you hold like those opinions that say a kli sheni is not mavlia or maflit? Thank you

Correct. Keli Sheni is not a problem. If a power boost is hot enough, then it would be a good Hagalah. AA
