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...

My mother and her husband lived in a house for over twenty years and never used the dishwasher, so you are not unique.
 
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.

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.)
 
And I refuse to live without a dishwasher anymore. It's a major component in me keeping the household in order.

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.

And my sister actually did not realise it was on, when we chatted in the kitchen, her reaction was quite funny 😁

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."

We have dishwashers on the supply boats, but they're never used.
Everyone simply washes their own and one of us will do the ones that were used for cooking.

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.
 
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.
