I have never understood how a dishwasher saves time since you've still got to rinse it before. I am deeply skeptical of these machines

    My parents do washing up with a bowl of water in the sink, rather than blasting the tap like I do. I’m guessing that’s even more efficient than a machine

      At that point you would need to specifically compare your dishwasher vs your parents' technique. I would guess they would still fall behind higher efficiency dishwashers but would beat the bottom of the barrel ones. I think the higher capacity, insulation, and detergent efficiency of the machine would still give it the win overall.
