Sucks.I don't do it often but being the world's greatest huaband I did it and I hate it...

wheel,,

I do it *like* every morning....hate it.

It's my daily ritual.

Signed, Mr. Mom

(beats washing them by hand and it saves on H2O)

... two 17yr old boys ... and they'd rather cut the lawn than run/empty the dishwasher...

Really though, emptying the dishwasher takes all of what 10 min? Washing a dishwasher load by hand would take more H2O and more manual labor than loading it up and pressing "GO."

Plus we have a sanitize mode that would heat the H2O to a sanitize level which was helpful for baby bottles when our kids were younger (my wife is a nurse and is big on sanitizing everything).

I hear what you're saying and ofcourse I agree,but to me it's whipping...

wheel,

As long as I want the dishes done properly, I load the washer and run it...she unloads it...that's our deal.

I've had an automatic dishwasher for 9+ years and have run it twice. Each time to make sure it still worked.

It's storage space.

MACS,

Once upon a time we had five kids in our house, four of them under the age of ten. Dishwasher was essential if we were going to work outside the home. One kid, or no kids, not much need for one.

if i was a bachelor i would have 2 of the smaller units-1 for clean and 1 for dirty-my wife won't buy the idea

I usually end up loading and unloading it. My wife uses more water rinsing the dishes before she put them in than the dishwasher uses washing them. She just throws stuff in there haphazardly so you get 4 or 5 place settings in there and you can't put anything else in.

We just got a new one and I must say the dishes and glasses come out a lot cleaner than with hand washing.

never understood the attraction because they don't clean as well as hand wash.

We've got a good-quality Bosch that is very quiet, and works pretty good, but I still find crap on some silverware and plates.

Silverware and Plates are for food not crap.

That's your problem..

wheel,

Now I get it!

lol!

i have one of the most expensive maytag. bought it 7 years ago.

5 years ago, toby and i started using throw away plastic plates. the food tastes just as good or bad as it did on china.

Never understood people who wash the dishes before putting them in... sure, wipe off the food, but washing?
