Yep. It makes washing dishes by hand not seem like such a bad chore after all.
I myself could even be categorized as a "dumb" dishwasher. But at least
I'm organic and powered by renewable energy.
I don’t own a dishwasher. The DW cubby is for the trash cans.
The kitchen window over the sink is large and starts at the countertop height.
I have a great view to the beyond. All kinds of wildlife out there for the show.
Had to replace the washer a little over a year ago. Got the “simplest” one but of course it all depends on the electronics inside anyway.
At least it doesn’t yell at a cloud.
For about the last two or three years, we have been washing the dishes by hand and letting them dry overnight in the old dishwasher. Probably doesn’t use significantly more time or water, and we know they’re clean.
You should apply for renewable energy tax credits.
You are also fully compostable, therefore recyclable. Nothing in the stores beats that.
We do dishes by hand since we moved here in 2018. I remodeled the kitchen and decided we just didn’t need one. While we are cooking we clean as we go.
The other place we cheat with paper plates and a burn pit. Do pots and pans in the wash tub. We do have indoor plumbing though.
I much prefer washing dishes by hand. Never owned a dishwasher, never will. Might hire one if I ever get tired of the chore, but would never buy one.
Don’t forget to hand wash the dishes before you put them in the automatic dishwasher.
There is, however, “one neat trick”.
Tablespoon or so of TSP added to the inefficient commercial stuff.
