    My ex was so dead against us getting a dishwasher because he didn’t want to have to plumb it into a house we didn’t own and our landlord wasn’t interested in helping us out.

    A month after he moved out, I bought one and it absolutely did change my life.

    I also managed to flood my kitchen in the process 🙈

    Bruh I haven’t eaten in days because I can’t afford meds and food at the same time.

    I completely get it. I see Price is Right clips now, or Lets Make a Deal, and losing my mind when they get a dining set. That shits would net me groceries for months.

    Not too proud to admit I got way too excited when I got my first Dyson. If anyone has animals with long hair, you’ll understand.

    I haven’t used my dishwasher or dryer since I moved in to my trailer. Hand washing dishes and hanging clothes to dry doesn’t take long enough for me to give a shit lol

      But running a dishwasher (if you already have one and use powder and not tabs) is much cheaper in water heating costs than washing by hand.

        I think that’s only true if you’re actually filling the dish washer with dirty dishes. It would take me long enough to fill my dish washer that it would start to stink.

          Yeah I live by myself and during the week only cook dinner plus snacks, so it takes me 3+ days to fill it up enough to justify running it and even then it starts it get…iffy.

          When I was living alone I had something that was called “table dishwasher”. It was a little thing with only one drawer and I filled it roughly every 1-2 days.

          An average (read large) dishwasher consumes ~12l of water per cycle. That’s equivalent to letting the tap run for ~30 seconds.

          A good dishwasher uses ~0.6kwh/cycle. That’s equivalent to ~10l of hot water. Again, ~30 seconds of tap water.

            Tbh I don’t think I run the faucet for 30 seconds to wash dishes for the day. It’s basically just cutting board, knife, a plate, and a bottle. 10 seconds max

            I’ll remember that on the rare occasions I cook up food for lots of people, though. That’s definitely more than 30 seconds!
