Ask HN: Are Dishwashing Machines Bullshit?
5 by hypnoscripto | 9 comments on Hacker News.
When I was a kid, we had a dishwashing machine. It wasn't good enough that you could just put the dishes in after eating, you had to pre-clean them. I don't remember exactly how long it took, but it was at least 30 minutes. As an adult, I've never owned one, and since becoming responsible enough to clean my dishes frequently, I've never seen the point in owning a dishwasher. I don't think I'm getting sick or anything from my hand washed dishes. Is there real value in a dishwasher that I'm not understanding?
