> Handwashing is water inefficient compared to a lot of dishwashers
My grandmother insisted the right way to hand-wash dishes was to plug the sink and fill it up, scrub with your hands in the water, then drain and rinse everything all at once.
That should be similar efficiency (or greater?) vs a modern dishwasher, but I'm not sure anyone does that anymore. Everyone else I've seen leaves the water running the whole time.
- madeofpalk 4y agoIt looks like this dishwasher uses only 3 litres of water for a full cycle. That's probably significantly less than you're filling your sink up.

- menage 4y agoThat's the standard UK way of washing dishes, but usually with a soak in the hot soapy water first to reduce the scrubbing effort.
