I really don’t get dishwashers. It takes more time loading and unloading them that is does to just wash the dishes by hand.
It depends on what you’re doing. When canning or doing large baking jobs...nothing beats it. Idf you have a family, you can teach them to scrape off any food and pit their dishes in the machine. When you have a lot of company for dinner, its a godsend. When folks are at home during the day, their dishes go into the machine throughout the day instead of the counter or sink..sometimes people make more work for themselves than is needed. I dont have a dishwasher right now, but I sure miss mine. When I visit family its a relief when they have one. A washing machine, dishwasher and freezer are my most needed and favorite appliances.
