Same. I live alone. I have a spot for a dishwasher under my counter, and I could afford one, but I've chosen not to own one. The problem is that there are many things you can't wash in the dishwasher, and it often does a poor job, you have to pre-rinse some things. At the end of the day, it's like, whatever, I can spend 5 minutes a day washing dishes. But I agree with others, it might make more sense when you have a family with several people.

Even with a family it's not that bad. The worst items are pots and pans but dishwashers don't do a great job on them anyway.

> The problem is that there are many things you can't wash in the dishwasher I have had a dishwasher for years. I either don't buy stuff you can't wash in the dishwasher, or wash it in the dishwasher anyway because I have better things to do than pamper some random crockery. Except my chefs knives which never get put in there, but they are the exception. > you have to pre-rinse some things For me (and we cook every meal) it's the minority. It's a rarity that we ever pre-rinse. If I lived alone it might feel differently about having a dishwasher, but it was life changing when we got one after our second child was born. However, I wouldn't not get one for the reasons you listed.
