For anyone who needs to read it, dishwashers use significantly less water than manually washing dishes.
Not if you wash using the lick-it-clean method
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.
This is true however often I only have a mug and a spoon or something like that which I don't want to leave dirty in the dishwasher untill it fills, because bugs or whatever reason. Manual wash, it's done in one minute
can i be a spoon too 🥺🥺🥺🥺
