This seems to be a cultural thing as well - I heard a story of early Bosch engineers arriving to USA to do research why the german dishwashers failed so much often there, and finding out, to their horror, that while Europeans were 2-3 on this scale, Americans were more often 4-5. They then had to redesign the dishwasher to be able to deal with much more food remains.
