Do you use dishwasher?

Had one in one of the many places I've lived. I prefer not to have one bc I'm alone and couldn't defend using the machine for one or two days worth of dishes and cutlery. But it also has a tendency to start smelling if i wait any longer.

By washing my stuff by hand after every meal I save electricity, and water, and I'm able to keep the kitchen clean.

Haven't got one. Quite a few of the things I use in the kitchen would not survive a dishwasher so they have to be washed by hand anyway: wooden plates, polythene chopping boards, wooden spoons and spatulas, the plastic bowl of my food processor, the drawer of the air fryer. All that I have that could reasonably go in a dishwasher is cutlery, glasses that don't have any decoration, the glass plates we use on Sundays, and some of the cooking pots and utensils.

It would take several days of crockery to fill a dish washer so would need more crockery. And I don't have space in the kitchen. I don't see how it saves any time unless you are feeding a dozen people at a time. We just wash and rinse the plates as we are finished with them, takes a few minutes to wash and rinse everything. then it dries by itself.

Ours just broke, and ordered a new one which is taking a week, but you know what? It's just not that big a deal if you just keep up with it. But also, I think a lot more soap and water are being used manually...but no electric...

No, I've never had one. My bf has one which he uses about twice a month when we have visitors for a meal.

Yeah for the most part, I've even got my family using the powder instead because I sub technology connections and it's what they're designed for rather than those stupid packets we were using. Also you're supposed to leave some power on the outside for the prewash which is important. Optimization Junkie so of course I saw the video title and was like how can we optimize our use?

I do😅

I have one in the kitchen, I haven't turned it on.

Of course

Mines just broke, I’ve been doing them by hand, need to buy another one.

I have one but rarely use it

I do for most items.

Sometimes I do but usually I hand wash them.

Rarely....usually only for times when we have a number of people joining us

I do but i pre rinse/scrub everything 😅

I use paper plates. ☺

I use mine every day. I wouldn't have a kitchen without a dishwasher.

I don’t have one!

Yes
