I don't have one, so I have to hand-wash. I loathe the entire concept. It's a massive waste of water to hand-wash everything, it takes far longer, the water cannot get hot enough to actually rinse dishes of bacteria, and sponges are gross. I see no advantage to hand-washing other than to protect those items that cannot stand the hot temperatures.

Re: bolded. Dishwashers take at least an hour (just Googled, never used a dishwasher in my life). Can it really take far longer than that to hand-wash?

The dishwasher does most of it's work autonomously. It's only the loading and loading that consumes a human's time.

It depends on the kind of dishwasher, I guess. We have an industrial one at my job, and it only takes about five minutes and gets our dishes very clean, after just one wash. If it's greasy stuff, like our fry stuff, we'll run it through twice just to ensure the grease comes off, but still, even one wash is good. You can throw in a pan with bacon grease stuck to the bottom, and the pan will be squeaky clean after one wash cycle. Our dishwasher here at home, you need to practically get everything off beforehand.

The one in my apartment typically takes a couple hours to run, which yeah is probably longer than it'd take to wash the dishes by hand, but it's so much less effort and time that I spend dealing with the dishes. I can go be productive in other ways while the dishwasher is running, or I can run it while I'm sleeping late at night.

Why does that matter? YOU are saving time by using the dishwasher. Do the dishes themselves have feelings or something?
