Dishwashers are stupid (maybe) - I would trade mine for a double bowl sink, and I bet it would take less time, water and energy...

  Dishwashers are (mostly) stupid for single people and maybe couples. They're very useful for families or other shared kitchen arrangements and are actually pretty efficient for water and energy use. Timewise, depends on the dishwasher and the number of dishes involved. They can also be more hygienic thanks to getting to (and sustaining) higher temperatures and using stronger chemicals for cleaning (though that can also have downstream, literally, impacts too).

  Probably less time, and maybe less energy. I doubt you'll beat a modern dishwasher on water usage though.
