Machines hands down
MACHINE or Hands? The dishwasher might seem a curious power saver, but it is in fact infinitely superior to washing dishes by hand. For starters, getting soaped up to the elbows over a 12 place dinner setting would take a staggering 42 litres of hot water to complete. A modestly performing dishwasher could handle the same load in just 12 litres. The total energy for heating the water, never mind the potential future cost of the water is 55% with the help of a machine. To snap on the gloves for a whole year and wash the family’s eating and cooking detritus demands at least 300 man hours, more than 10 days of thankless servitude, only ever be noticed if you don’t do it!
