Is there a real difference in water and electricity consumption? Personally, I don’t use a lot of water to wash my dishes (by hand), but maybe I should install a flow meter to make sure.
What is your opinion on the subject? Do you have any evidence or studies available that could confirm your intuition? Or do you have other alternatives in mind?
Both.
I tend to wash the larger stuff by hand so it’s not wasting so much space in the dishwasher.
Same. I’d be running like 3 cycles if I put pots and pans in there just to get everything through. Plus a fair amount of them can’t be run in the dishwasher anyways.
