If your dishwasher is your drying rack, it is hugely space inefficient compared to my wire ones on the counter. The way I wash dishes uses less water than a dishwasher. I suppose dishwasher users consider that inadequate, but I'm a filthy rebel.
And I don't really have a feel for whether more cleanliness is a benefit compared to the hormetic effect of exercising the immune system.
- bryanlarsen 8mo agoYou can wash and rinse a full load of dishes by hand with 3 gallons of water? Seems possible only if you aren't rinsing, but a dishwasher rinses too...
- delichon 8mo agoMy guess is that since I couldn't possibly fill the dishwasher before using it, it would be using 3 gallons for one person's dishes per meal, and I doubt I use a whole gallon while hand washing.
- rimunroe 8mo ago> My guess is that since I couldn't possibly fill the dishwasher before using it Do you own very few dishes or something? That's the only reason I can imagine not being able to fill it before needing to run it. Even before having a kid my wife and I could easily fill the dishwasher daily since we cook quite a bit.
- rimunroe 8mo ago> The way I wash dishes uses less water than a dishwasher. Could you elaborate on this? My understanding is even if you're using a sink/basin filled with soapy water this is still almost always less efficient than a dishwasher.
