lol yeah, dishwashers require a high upfront cost. But I think they are cheaper in the long run because they use less water (and maybe less electricity?) than washing dishes by hand. I did a quick search online and it seems to be the case. However, I wonder if those first links are wrong.
Totally on board with all this. I grew up with dishwashers but since I moved to Los Angeles in 2013 I haven’t had an apartment with a dishwasher.
My current apartment (that costs more than a three bedroom home mortgage in my home state) is so old and the kitchen is so small that there’s no space for a dishwasher.
It really grinds my gears because water is way less abundant here yet you have probably thousands of people washing dishes by hand. I can tell you right now I waste ridiculously too much water simply by handwashing dishes.
