Do you use a dishwasher?

Do you use a dishwasher or do you prefer washing dishes by hand?

[monnee]

Use a dishwasher and save water.

i always had a dishwasher but to tell you the truth i never used it

I haven't had a dishwasher for about 20 years.  At first I missed it a lot but now it really doesn't matter.  At times I wish I had one but it is not something I long for.  There are many other things I would rather have.

Both hand washing and dishwasher!

I loved my dishwasher but it is broke and I haven't gotten a new one yet and I miss it alot -- I don't mind washing by hand but I want a new dishwasher as soon as I can

[patriciaeclevenger]

Yes and I love it. I do wash bigger pots and pans by hand.

[darkxtsuna]

I do it by hand just like my family members but I do plan to buy one for my mom and dad.

I use the hand way. Had a machine but it rocketed the electric bill.  If i do it every day not to much to do.

[schoolvan]

Yes I use a dishwasher it is me I am the dishwasher.

I like to use a dishwasher, but my husband likes to wash my hands.

We just purchased a new dishwasher after wearing the last one out.  I cook and my husband does the dishes in our household.  I do unload the dishwasher and put the dishes up.  He has a tendency to not put dishes in the correct location if he unloads the dishwasher.  Then I'm having to search for the dish I am wanting to use.

I use a dishwasher for glasses, dinnerware and silverware, but do all my pots and pans by hand. They take up too much space in the dishwasher and don't seem to get really clean in the dishwasher either so that's why I do them by hand.

I use a dishwasher, but my girlfriend doesn't like it when I call her that ;p

Seriously though, I do have a true dishwasher... I've found that putting in dirty dishes straight into the washer doesn't clean the dishes thoroughly; sometimes all that does is spread the food junk to other dishes that were fairly clean before being washed (eg food crumbs in the bottom corners of glasses). Thus I prefer to first wash the dishes by hand, and then use the dishwasher more to sanitize the dishes.

We do both in our house, but the dishwasher makes it so much more easy.  We had an old portable dishwasher 10 years ago, but it was a very narrow kitchen and the dishwasher was always in the way with no place to move it, so we ended up ditching it to save space.  We did sink washing exclusively for about 8 years, but when we got a chunk of money and decided to remodel the kitchen, we moved a few things around and worked in a built in dishwasher.  That is so much easier and now we aren't losing any space for it!
