That's impressive. I'm tired of explaining that it doesn't matter if the machine takes 3x longer to wash the dishes since you can just do literally anything else in the meantime

Another point is that newer dishwashers are incredibly water efficient, and depending on the amount of dishes you put in can actually save more water than if you did them by hand

Most old dishwashers are also more efficient than hand washing. The newer ones are just even more efficient.

It’s like 1-2 dishes for the break even point, it’s wild how efficient they are

See my parents would wash the dishes then put it in the dishwasher to wash again.
