Yeah, the dishwasher would be more convenient, maybe, but doing it by hand is just plain faster and I don't have to multitask.
Probably cheaper, too.

- julien_c 14y agoUsing a dishwasher actually saves water.
- thebigshane 14y agoI have a feeling this is the case as well. Can you cite any references?
- Too 14y agoLast spec i saw of a dishwasher was 10 liters / wash. But i think that's pretty low because they were bragging with it. Estimate how much you need by hand. Filling up the sink, 5-10L? And then rinsing it all afterwards, another 5 at least. Keep in mind that a dishwasher does about 4 meals while you usually do one at a time when you do by hand.

- tesseractive 14y agoIndeed. Our dishwasher is DOA at the moment, and for a family of 4, keeping the dishes washed is an investment of several hours a week, spread out in some fashion or other. On the plus side, I agree that it's kind of therapeutic to do them. :)
