Do you use a dishwasher or wash dishes by hand? (sh.itjust.works)

Is there a real difference in water and electricity consumption? Personally, I don't use a lot of water to wash my dishes (by hand), but maybe I should install a flow meter to make sure.

What is your opinion on the subject? Do you have any evidence or studies available that could confirm your intuition? Or do you have other alternatives in mind?

I was the same, dishwashers seem mostly pretty crap at eashing dishes. I've had about 6 different ones over the years and they never seem to save much time because you basically have to clean the dishes before you put them in anyway.

But we finally got a good one. It wasn't cheap but I can at least recommend this one: https://www.bosch-home.co.nz/en/mkt-product/dishwashers/built-in-dishwashers/underbench-dishwasher-60-cm/SMP6HCB01A

Now I just scrape food off but dont bother with a heavy pre-rinse or scrub (except for things like dried eggyolk which still never comes off without a decent scrub)
