My mother and her husband lived in a house for over twenty years and never used the dishwasher, so you are not unique.In all the places I've lived, I've had dishwashers that I've never used because, I do the dishes. They're a waste of water and electricity when they can be done by hand. The soap is expensive too...
Well… @Rj_1954 is astoundingly unique, but not in that regard. I also know people who don’t like or trust a dishwasher.My mother and her husband lived in a house for over twenty years and never used the dishwasher, so you are not unique.
No, they actually use less water than washing by hand. The electricity use isn't too major either. (Though it would be lower, if they could be attached to both hot and cold water, here it's cold only.)In all the places I've lived, I've had dishwashers that I've never used because, I do the dishes.

I've had a quiet Boch like that! It was some 20 years old when we bought it 2nd hand, and 30 when I moved out - just needed a few spare parts and then it kept serving well.We had a wheezing clunker of a dishwasher, probably thirty years old, that finally gave up the ghost. We bought a Bosch that is so quiet you don't even know it's on if you're standing next to it.
I do vacuuming too

I live in an apartment and they put the thing in a corner where it's difficult to operate so I wash by hand. I usually don't have company, but if I do...it's there. It's only Lady K and I, and maybe soon a furr baby.@Rj_1954
My dishwasher uses much less water than handwashing would take. It runs a very long cycle and uses a very small amount of water. I actually feel bad when I hand wash lots of items.
"...standard dishwashers typically use 3-4 gallons per wash cycle. Hand washing dishes can use up to 27 gallons, churning away about 15 gallons for every five minutes the faucet runs."

I hope you have a great Thanksgiving!We’re going to my wife’s family in Florida for Thanksgiving. I have to go through my closet to see if there’s anything I’m not too fat to wear. Gonna be a very small list.
