Something doesn't add up here. It says £43 for 90 washes, but the picture shows six cartridges which is 180 washes? On top of that, it contains rinse aid and enough deep cleaning for those 180 washes.
Compared to dishwasher tablets from the supermarket it looks like 180 would cost from about £15 for supermarket own brand, all the way up to about £32 for the most expensive. Then on top of that you have the rinse aid, deep cleaner and salt, which seems to account for the other £10.
Obviously this thing is significantly smaller but I think the assumption is you'd be running the big dishwasher half empty every day anyway so the cost would be the same. So it doesn't seem to be that far off price wise?
I find dishwashers in general to be an example of convenience addiction. The amount of dishes this thing can hold I could wash up by hand in about 5 minutes and, unlike the dishwasher, I can guarantee I'll do it properly. People forget that washing up is a skill like anything else that you can get good at. It only takes a bit of practice. But once you use a dishwasher and forget how to do it yourself you get addicted and think you can't live without it.
- alright2565 3y agoI'm not familiar with mini dishwashers like Bob, but the full size ones are definitely not a "convenience addiction". You may be capable and skilled at using the two/three-sink method for washing up, but the general population isn't and will instead run the tap and waste far greater amounts of heat and water than a dishwasher would require.
- globular-toast 3y agoYeah I'm not capable/skilled at playing the piano either because, guess what, I don't play the piano. Are you seriously suggesting washing dishes is some next-level human skill? Dishwasher manufacturers will eagerly tell you they use less water than hand washing. But they're more quiet about the fact that they use more energy. I've honestly never heard anyone complain about their water bill.
