Dishwashers anybody

Thank you very much for your honest response and I can appreciate the fact that the dishwasher is yet another appliance just eating up the power and you can sure do without a higher electric bill. I don't own one of course and I can sure see where there is time spent in loading and unloading the dishwasher which only brings to a constant question in my mind about the real convenience of them. I am sure that a lot of people have been using them for years and are just used to them but I am just used to washing the dishes by hand and simply getting it down and out of the way in preparation for my next chore.

I couldn't agree more! By hand you wash up and it's done no messing about waiting for the cycle to finish and so on.

I thank you for your response. That is a shame that your dishwasher keeps breaking down. I just don't have one and I am pretty content with that right now. I am not entertaining the idea of having one though. There is always a chance that if I were to move to another house and it had a dishwasher then I might use it but there is no substitution for the tried and true way I have been doing it for years. Strictly by hand with the dish soap and water! It must be a nice convenience for some people but if you are used to having one and then it breaks down that can be quite frustrating. But when it works and helps with the work load then that is an added bonus. Take care friend.
