AIBU to choose a tumble drier over a dishwasher?

[Fishaway]

If you could only choose one, which would you choose a tumble or a dishwasher.
context: single parent with x3 kids 11-7yrs

Dryer every time. I have both and use both a lot. But I could manage without the dishwasher and still wash bigger things by hand anyway so it'd be ok without. I have 2 young children and feel like I'm always washing then with the weather being as awful as it has been recently I wouldn't know what to do. We have an airer for hanging some things inside if needed but I couldn't stand wet washing draped all over the house as much as I would.

Never had a dishwasher but wouldn't be without my tumble dryer

Dishwasher. Although we have a tumble dryer, it’s broken. If my dishwasher broke, I’d buy a replacement, my dryer has been broken a year.

Tumble dryer . I've got both but the tumble dryer would be replaced instantly if it broke whereas the dishwasher I may shop around for as I could live without it for a while .

I would never give up my dishwasher. If I had to choose between getting a dishwasher or a drier I'd get the dishwasher every time. Ours is only put on once a day but all dirty dishes go straight into it so the kitchen never really looks dirty. Whereas I only ever use the drier occasionally.

Our dishwasher is on every day but only use the tumble drier once a week so definitely would be a dishwasher for me.

Tumble dryer. I hate having stuff drying around the house takes up too much room, washing dishes isn't that much of an effort and doesn't need much space.

Of the 2 I'd choose a tumble dryer.

In truth, I'd choose both a tumble dryer and a dishwasher over an overn, if we're being truthful.

Dishwasher. Had to live without one for a few months a couple of years ago and it was awful.

Never had a tumble drier. We use airers with dehumidifier - it’s brilliant and gets things dry really quickly and everything still smells good.

I dry washing outside for about 5 months of the year (south east.)

Dishwasher

Dishwasher. We spent £10k remodeling the whole house to make the kitchen big enough for a dishwasher. I replaced all our hand wash only items with dishwasher safe, and it's run daily.
We don't have space for a separate tumble dryer. I have a washer-dryer, but I hardly use the tumble because it's rubbish. I think I'd use a proper drier more often - perhaps weekly in winter.

Dishwasher. 100%

I'd get a dryer. Drying clothes indoors is a pain in the ass.
Taking the clothes to dry at the launderette is expensive.

I wouldn't get a dishwasher everyone has hands and can use them to wash up.

I chose dishwasher.
I don't do washing up.hate it.

4 kids here and never had a tumble dryer. So dishwasher for me.

Tumble drier
Clothes take ages to dry. A pile of dishes half hour at the worst to wash n dry.

Tumble drier

Both, put the dryer upstairs where they belong.

Dishwasher every time! I use it twice a day and definitely wouldn’t want to stand washing and drying all the pots

Tumble dryer mine broke Christmas Eve I lasted a week before I bought a new one hate having clothes drying everywhere in winter. I don’t use it in summer as peg the washing out
I have both and use the dishwasher daily but if I had to choose in winter it would be tumble dryer

Also dishwashers reduce the lifespan of stuff so even with a dishwasher I do one or two lots of washing up of things that either can't be put in the dishwasher or say they can but it does wreck them.

Single mum here and I’d definitely choose a tumble drier over a dishwasher. I had the chance to get a dishwasher put in and I said no thanks. I’d rather wash by hand and have the extra cupboard space.

But you don't need to stand and wait while clothes dry, you can get on with other things. It's not a direct comparison.

Tumble dryer

what stuff?
apart from maybe the wooden handles of a pan that we only use once a year (and possibly shouldn't go in really) everything is still in good form.
