Can it wash my penis after I dump a massive load in your wife's anus while she has dysentary? Lol.

i remember as a kid my mom was very touchy about using the dishwasher, she thought it would run up the electric and water bill astronomically so we hardly ever used it, hell even the other month I ran it when there was only a few dishes in there and she freaked out and said the electric bill would be insane. Now that I have my own place I can look at my electric usage and it turns out dishwashers use barely any water and hardly any electricity and are basically free to run.
>>
>>108897612
It does an impressive job. You can save more money by using powder instead of those pods. Also, buy the cheapest rinse aid you can find.
>>
>>108897698
Some people really think dishwashers (and other appliances too) constantly drain all their rated kilowatts and water during the entire run, when in reality they refill and reheat the tiny tank like three or four times, and the rest is recycling dirty water.

Not in Germany.
In germany you need to clean out the filter instead of having it just grind the dirt and mud.
Also, most models are cold water only and use a lot of power.
And then there's the need of arrainging everything in so thhat this retarded machine can clean it correctly and after that, you need to take everything out and be careful not to damage the machine or the dishes while doing so.
Then there's the hidden cost of special salt, cleaner and tabs.


Fuck no, terrible machine unless you buy dustry grade with both hot and cold water access + self cleaning filters and grinders ($20.000 alminimum price), good luck with that.

Refrigeration tech is incredibly efficient, I really doubt your fridge uses enough power to have a notable effect on your electricity bill, your oven is probably the second power hungriest appliance.

> In germany you need to clean out the filter instead of having it just grind the dirt and mud.
Rinsing off the filter takes 30s
>Also, most models are cold water only and use a lot of power.
This makes no sense. All machines have a pans and pots cycle that washes at 70°C. And as OP said, they use barely any electricity.
>And then there's the need of arrainging everything in so thhat this retarded machine can clean it correctly and after that, you need to take everything out and be careful not to damage the machine or the dishes while doing so.
The machine literally cleans your dishes while you sleep while using less water than you doing it manually.
>Then there's the hidden cost of special salt, cleaner and tabs.
All of these are super cheap if you buy the supermarket brand

it takes me like 30 seconds to wash my dishes by hand.
>>
>>108897766
I did the calculations and assuming I use the cheapest powder possible a standard wash cycle cost like eleven cents, it makes zero sense it would cost more to run a dishwasher than to hand wash if your houses uses an electric hot water heater like most houses these days do.

It's always just Europeans, I genuinely don't get it, they treat dishwashers like a black magic box that has a 50% chance of summoning a demon anytime they run it.
>>
>>108898310
europe is surprisingly impoverished.

as a consequence, simply by discussing domestic appliances, you are putting europeans in a very uncomfortable position: they have nothing to contribute to the conversation, since by virtue of their poverty they cannot afford most appliances, either due to lack of funds for the appliance itself, or lack of living space.

its sort of like discussing the different kinds of girls with an incel - the incel knows, anything he says, will only serve to reveal his inexperience (and impotence) - so he really only has two choices, remain silent (however this is in itself revealing), or appear indifferent, which can be interpreted as abundance.

europeans however pick the even more insane third option, which is to tell you that your comfortable life is infact very uncomfortable and terrible - i guess in my previous analogy, it would be like the incel telling you that the sex you're having is "awful and incredibly uncomfortable, actually".

very unfortunate people, but its hard to feel sympathy for them.

The lack of living space is a big one, as someone with family in Europe I can safely say most Euro's genuinely cannot comprehend how much larger an average apartment in the US is.

It actually doesn't, you're not supposed rinse dishes because the small food particles actually aid in the wash cycle. The big problem people make when using dishwashers it using expensive pods instead of powders and putting a little extra powder in the pre-wash dispenser.
>>
>>108897612
>corrupts your soul

>>108897612
Do you still have to rinse them? I remember first having one in my apartment in college and it would always leave some spots uncleaned. Someone told me I had to rinse them, which in my mind kind of defeated the purpose, especially if I had to use a sponge to removed scraps stuck to the plate. That was 10 years ago though.

My dishwasher broke once. It took me a full hour to wash a week's worth of dishes without it. With it, it takes me 5 minutes tops.
>>108898562
Do you wash clothes by hand as well from the water you leave in the bath?
>>108898632
The dishwasher pods indeed introduce tons of microplastics. That's why you should use the powdery tablets.
>>108899607
By 5 minutes of course you mean 10 minutes and that shit adds up especially when you have so many chores and have long work days. Do you wash clothes by hand? Why not? "It takes 5 minutes" to wash a day's worth of clothes.

How much is a weeks worth? How do you go without dishes for a week? Do you use a pan only once and go "ah well, can't use it the rest of the week"??? Do you reuse your cups by quick rinsing or have like 10 extra cups at your disposal per person? Either way makes no sense.

I have 4 pans, 3 pots, 30ish cups, 6 plates, 6 protein shake cups, 18 glass containers for meal prepping, and a lot of spoons and forks.
In a week I go through 7 glass containers, 6 plates, 5 protein shake cups, 30ish cups (I eat a lot of plain yogurt), 6 pans (keep having to wash them), 2 pots and their tops, and tons of spoons and forks. When the dishwasher broke, I would just stack them and put some water on the one on the top of each stack so it softents the leftovers (i barely leave any, usually just tiny bits). Then I would spend 1 hour in the weekend to quickly and efficiently wash them all. In the middle of the week I had to wash pans all the time because I only have 4 and I mainly use 2 of them because the others are too big.
This is just me. I don't want to imagine how it would look like if I had kids.

I think dishwashers did used to use more water and electricity, and it's only more recently that there's been focus on bringing that down.
It's kind of like how old people still assume boilers works like immersion heaters.
My mum always whigs out about lightbulbs left on, because she's old enough to remember older higher wattage bulbs. All her lightbulbs are LED now though. I've tried explaining it to her, and she just won't let it go. Out the room for 1 minute = lightbulb off.

>>
>>108903772
The point is, you end up spending more time loading and unloading, than if you just hand-wash the ones you're already using.
Plus spending extra money on whatever cleaner you use.
It's so retarded
>>
When I was single living alone, hand washing and drying was the way. There were only a couple pieces of cookware and one set of dishes to wash. Took <10 minutes, including drying and putting away. But cooking for others creates more cookware and more dishes to wash. This is where the dishwasher starts saving you lots of time. Especially if people in your home are baking or cooking recipes that use tons of bowls.

There's also the drying problem. The dishwasher heats the dishes so that they come out dry after you set the door ajar and let it cool. Hand washed dishes need to sit in the open for hours to dry. Towel drying immediately after washing is the way to go, but it starts eating up up too much time when you have to dry 20+ individual items

>>108903793
>>108903725
Of course you don't need a dishwasher to wash literally 1 plate, 1 fork, 1 cup. I assume you're eating takeout since you didn't mention cookware. It's different when you're cooking meals and feeding others.

>>108903845

"maybe" because you haven't experienced it as an inevitable 3x a day task. If handwashing was that easy then dishwashers wouldn't exist
>>
>>108903097
That's to reduce power consumption. Modern dishwashers and washing machines are designed to use one cycle of water for longer rather than doing many cycles each needing power to be heated up.
>>
>>108897612
It's way more expensive than just washing the dishes
>>
>>108903881
okay then ~45 minutes spread out over 8-10 hours is still nothing.

dishwashers only exist because of the 1950s obsession with mechanizing every mundane task in the name of vague "futurism".

Cooking for one person or 4 more doesn't really change how much time it takes to wash because you'll be spending the majority of time cleaning the pots you used to cook the meal with.

I had this argument last time I visited my parents, I must be an undiagnosed autistic because the way they use their dishwasher drives me crazy.
They only run it on eco because it uses less power and water (our water is unmetered), when I told them it uses fuck all power then it was because normal "takes to long" and mum says it's fine because you just rinse the dishes before putting them in.
I look inside and it's completely full, half an undissolved tablet stuck in the compartment (they won't buy powder), and half the plates aren't even rinsed.
They at least use rinse aid though.

It takes me almost as much time to arrange everything for a wash than just scrubbing it myself, unless it's really annoyingly greasy. And in order to get to that level of cleanliness it uses 3-4 different chemicals that over time ruin drinking glasses and other items.

>>108897737
In my experience the more expensive pods clean really good and they're convenient and less messy so I use those. I agree with you on rise aid, it's all the same.

Be sure to clean your clothes washing machine grate filter and empty the hose out for cleaner clothes. Also clean your fridges condensing coils to save power usage. Most importantly take apart your dryer's lint intake and clean the fan out of all of the dirt to save you from a fire.

Nowadays, most boilers are "combi boilers". They heat water as the water passes through them, pretty much on demand. There's usually only a slight wait as the heater inside comes up to temperature.
In the past, boilers were often large tanks of water with an electric immersion heater, that took time to heat the water up, and time for the water to cool down. It had to be like that because the immersion heater couldn't heat water at the speed it flowed through, so you had to preheat a big tank of water if you wanted to wash dishes or take a bath or something.
Those immersion boilers were often kept in an attic, basement, or supply cupboard, and just generally weren't in very clean areas, and they weren't necessarily perfectly sealed, like (I hope) your plumbing to and from your combi boiler is. Bugs could get in there. I've even heard people say birds could poop in it. Also, the water could stand for a while if you didn't flush through the whole tank of hot water.
Older people remember that, and consider water from the hot tap unhygienic because of that, even though today the factors that meant in the past it may not have been as clean as the cold water are no longer relevant.
Picrel is a heating element used in an immersion boiler.

That's still the case for my shitabode. Thanks for your explanation. It's annoying whenever I get jumpscared by cold water while drifting off into daydream kingdom.

For a second I thought you are talking about kitchen appliance boilers and was like wtf why would anyone prefer passthrough trash to insulated tank (picrel).
My city has centralized hot water supply grid almost everywhere, otherwise people use passthrough gas heaters that are not called boilers in my language cause they don't boil shit, just make water hot enough to wash dishes etc.

this. i swapped to hand-washing dishes for the same reason i stopped using dryers. the handfeel of dishes that have been run through a washing machine is complete fucking ass.

>>108909502
Yeah, I've had one too. They suck.
They've actually killed people. In one case a hot water tank in an attic boiled over back into the cold water tank which failed, and the hot water came through the ceiling and killed a child.
A combi boiler is pretty much always a straight upgrade as far as I can tell. I think those immersion ones use slightly less energy but that's only if you time your usage well, which is pretty much impossible since you always have a ton of hot water left in the tank pointlessly venting heat.

Nice. Do they use waste heat for that or does it have it's own dedicated heating plant?

Yes, combined heat and power plants. Only downside is yearly maintenance period. Some people cope and stink, some install electric heaters just to use them for a couple days in a year.
>>
>>108909357
Most American power sources aren't designed to handle that much wattage to enable smooth heating.

Even European flow-through boiler are usually limited to 2kW meaning there a limit on pressure.

In my country the vast majority of boilers sold is still immersion heating.

So that leaves gas boilers for flow through and most countries have incredibly strict regulations about it.

I think by far the best implementation of laws, regulations and usage I've seen in my life is Japanese flow through fascade water heaters. They require no chimnies, no special suace, you just put them on the fascade and run lines.

Very nice. Japan?
>Some people cope and stink, some install electric heaters just to use them for a couple days in a year.
People love to complain about any old thing.
>>108909643
Mine's gas, as are all of the combi boilers I've seen in my country, the UK. The regulation as far as it affects me is only that someone certified has to install it. I don't think I would want to install my own gas lines anyway, to be honest.
>Japanese flow through fascade water heaters
Reading about these now. They seem like a good idea when the building allows for it. Can they work on multistory apartments without balconies? I guess they can pump the water up just like the normal flow of water into an apartment and all be installed on the ground floor for maintenance.

Dishwashers suck and the only time they would be useful (washing large stains or sticky messes), you need to wash by hand instead because they can't do it. The only time they work is with shit that's so clean you can wipe them in 5 seconds and be done.

Japan fundamentally builds apartments differently due to earthquake regulations so most have entrances in a common "balcony" entry way.

Only tower mansions are built where you enter from the inside in and they almost always feature balconies.

There no glass encased no entry buildings in Japan.

>>108909890
Even in the most prestigious super expensive luxury tower projects you can easily tell what space is office space and what space if living space by the inclusion of balconies.

Have been using the same old Bosch dishwasher daily for 9 years now and not even once cleaned it. Also, I have never used anything but the cheapest Aldi pods. The heat exchanger broke a few years ago and I replaced it with the cheapest chink one I could find on AliExpress. It just werks

>>108910388
Bosch is losing customers man. You might have to shop for its replacement when it kicks the bucket.

Luckily, there is nothing that can break I can't fix. Too old for fancy shit.

This. It's not hard. That's why dishwashers haven't taken off like washing machines.

>>108905133
Then there's this. Dishwashers COULD work by now but they don't due to environmentalism. Everyone's houses I've been at required the dishes to rinsed and most of the food cleaned off first, then careful stacking. And the drying mode doesn't work either.

Dryers are probably shooting for the next spot since most everyone (at least in the US) use vented units that run a heating coil. 100% is if you count in the conditioned air it leeches from inside the house and dumps outside.
