Do you have any evidence to support this? What's the usage in kWh per run and the cost of detergent?
On the highest setting mine will get through plates that have been sitting around for a week (don't judge). That costs me one run and one tablet of detergent. You're suggesting running it on the lowest setting 5-10x as often and using 5-10x the amount of detergent.
The cost in time loading and emptying seems to be equal no matter how often you run it.
- dijit 9y agoFrom a cursory look it seems it costs in electricity 1.5kWh for a single load of dishes on my dishwasher. at my current rates that's 30p per run in electricity, 32.5p for the dishwasher tablet (26gbp/80 tablets). So 62.5p per load. 1.25gbp per day (1.25*365)/12 = 38.020833333333336~ gbp/month.
- cup-of-tea 9y agoThat's a lot, though, isn't it? That's twice the price of my internet connection and about the cost of annual maintenance on my car. Even if my intensive clean costs twice as much in electricity I reckon I can divide that by 10.
- dijit 9y agoYeah, I just ran the numbers because I was curious too, I would consider this to be quite expensive. My electricity costs are quite high comparatively to other folks though so, YMMV.
