For anyone who needs to read it, dishwashers use significantly less water than manually washing dishes.
Water, energy and time. If you have the space and can afford the initial investment, a dishwasher has no drawbacks.
No drawbacks? It stinks when you don't have enough people in the household to fill it quickly. Also, it's disgusting if you do not pre-rinse food remainders off plates, so that has to be factored into the water equation.
Can't say I ever had those problems, but fair enough.
in a single person household where you eat out frequently, it can take a week to fill the dishwasher. With food and drink remainders on dishes, it starts smelling after two days tops
on top of that, i only have 2 plates, so if they're both in the dishwasher, i have a problem. that might be a me-thing though
Running your dishwasher even partially full still uses significantly less water than hand washing.
