Dishwashers waste water, leave soap residue on dishes, and can’t scrub any actual filth away

Says the person that clearly doesn't have a dishwasher and wants the rest of us to feel bad for having one.

I literally have one. I have to get any actual junk off before I put it in the washer, and at that point I might as well wash it myself

You're good. We're renting right now and have a completely shit dishwasher, and our landlord doesn't care. We have to clean our dishes before they go in if we use it, and even if we take the filtration apart to clean the thing out, a dark grime and residue coats the bottom and the door within 2-3 uses. Our dishwasher is effing disgusting.

I do agree with all of them that a working dishwasher is way better environmentally and economically than hand washing. It honestly is. But if yours is like mine and is likely broken or budget and terrible well...not much you can do other than fix or replace it (we refuse to upgrade our landlords appliances for him, so we deal with it).

The dishwater is technically my mums, but it is so inefficient she just has us wash the dishes by hand

Definitely fair, especially since it isn't yours. Don't give up on all dishwashers once you move out though! When I did have a working one...omg the time savings from not handwashing 2-3 times every day adds up. They are such a blessing haha

The day I experience a working dishwasher will be a good day
