Do you use a dishwasher ?

[Mikey]

Growing up we never had one.

For the last 20-ish years I've been living in various apts and all of them had one --- but I never use them.

Just seems like too much trouble --- easier to just hand wash and dry

I use my dishwasher as storage

We use ours for storage as well. I am the dishwasher and I am a machine!

[Hector]

I use the dishwasher almost everyday, yes....and cleans plates and glassware a lot better than by hand, a lot better.

However, I use my iron skillet a lot...that one has the be carefully hand washed.

We run ours probably once a day however like Hec, we have stuff we don't run in the dishwasher and wash by hand. Life is just too busy to have to hand wash all dishes..

We have one and run it nightly, at least.

Use it and love it.

I don't have one. Unless I'm entertaining, I don't miss it. I have a small galley kitchen & need the storage space.

[Nostalgiabuff]

absolutely. hand washing sucks. we run ours every day. I hand wash certain things but most go in the DW

[Donkey Hoatie]

I absolutely hate hand-washing dishes. So, yeah, we run ours pretty much every other day or so (it's just me, the wife, and the kid).

We have a dishwasher...me. Or, if I cook, Cindy. Whoever cooks, the other one does the dishes. No electric dishwasher.

Nah, the cats pretty much lick the plates mostly clean.

Ours died about two years ago and we haven't replaced it. It didn't really get the dishes very clean and I don't mind hand washing. I can wash dry and put away faster than the dishwasher anyway.

Since my back has gone south, standing in a single spot really hurts. I used to hand wash, no problem, but I just can't do it anymore. Yes, I use my dishwasher, but only a couple of times a week, since it's just me, and I don't like to run it til it's full.

Can't live without our dishwasher. We put everything in it, and the stuff that doesn't survive - oh, well. The alternative would be annoying visits from the Board of Health and/or the CDC. I hate it when those guys in the yellow suits with masks & hoses show up; freaks out the dogs.

We have a DW for most things. I wash the things we don't/can't put in it.
