Am trying to decide whether to get a dishwasher but not sure about eco crdentials vs time saved etc. Have read a few studies on dishwahsers claiming that they use less power/ water than hand washing but not 100% convinced.
So dishwasher owners, can you tell me for family of 4 having breakfast, kids tea and adults tea plus 3 meals a day at weekends (usually with a roast dinner):
a) how many dishwasher loads
b) how many handwash loads you also need to do e.g. for large pots, fragile non dishwahser items etc.
Ball park figures are fine. Just trying to get a handle on the general picture.
