Post by: strumcat on November 27, 2009, 10:02:31 pm: Seriously, it's the one appliance I could live without. I never have liked them because I prefer to wash by hand.

Post by: enigma789 on November 27, 2009, 10:53:08 pm: I am definitely thankful for my dishwasher. I think I would be eating out a lot if I didn't have one, and then I would have to make FusionCash a full time job! ;)

Post by: dreamyxo on November 28, 2009, 05:22:37 pm: I don't even use mine. I'm usually only cooking for myself. I'm so used to hand washing that that's what I do.

Post by: angietx on November 28, 2009, 05:39:37 pm: Im with you strumcat, we have one but disconnected it and use our hands. It takes us too long to dirty enough dishes for it anyway, they would have to sit in the dishwasher for days before it was full enough to run a cycle.

Post by: bub2631 on November 28, 2009, 09:27:10 pm: I haven't had a dishwasher in years. Its not been a problem. Besides, you have to rinse the dishes before you put them in anyway and sometimes they don't don't get them all the way clean.

Post by: Tere2 on November 29, 2009, 02:55:28 am: :wave: I have one but I lived without one for years. It came with the house and I like it but most of the time I wash my dishes by hand. I live alone so I don't do much cooking unless company's coming. Then I'm glad I have that dishwasher. :)

Post by: sadie524 on November 29, 2009, 09:36:54 am: A dishwasher is probably one appliance I could live without and not think twice. I prefer to do dishes by hand; call me crazy but I find it relaxing!

I love my dishwasher!!! I dont know what I would do without it.

Post by: ro901 on November 29, 2009, 10:08:17 am: Yes, doing dishes by hand can be relaxing and there is a reason for that. In the act of doing the dishes, you unknowingly activate certain pressure points on your hands that induce endorphines in your brain...that is if you're not fighting the feeling as in 'don't want to do it just now.'

I do just fine without a dishwasher, I hand wash all my dishes and never owned a dishwasher. I often wonder does a dishwasher make your life better, would it make my life easier? I hope one day to own a dishwasher, but until then I am the offical dishwasher of my household, lol. :)

i would have the nastiest hands ,, my hands get so dried out from the dish soap,,
Me too I break out from some of the ones that have lemon or orange or grapefruit in them. Plus if i didnt have my dish washer I wouldnt be able to cook/bake and wash the dishes at the same time. When i get on my baking sprees the dish washer is going like all day long.

Title: Re: What would you do without your diswasher?
Post by: Oryon20 on November 30, 2009, 11:23:11 am: All while growing up I never had a dishwasher, and now as an adult I still have never had one. Washing dishes by hand really isn't all that bad... unless you have a bunch of people over for a dinner, and then you wish you had one. The fact is, I have seen my in-laws soaking, scrubbing pans, pots, plates, forks and what not with gooey or baked on food before they put them in the machine to ensure the food will come off. And even then, I've been there and they had to run some items through again! If you have to go through that anyway, why not just use a little soap and wash them by hand? Seems pointless to me. :dontknow:

I do concur what a few others said in that dishwashing by hand can really dry the hands out, especially in the winter. I guess that's why they make moisturizing lotion.

Post by: abeyta87 on December 01, 2009, 07:39:53 pm: I love my dishwasher so If I didn't have one I think I would be using more paper plates and plastic cups and plastic ware spoons and forks. Of course everything couldn't be paper and plastic so I would have to hand wash too... Luckily I am not giving up my dishwasher

Post by: ooirresistibleoo on December 01, 2009, 08:01:11 pm: I don't really care for the dishwasher id rather wash them myself
Title: Re: What would you do without your diswasher?
Post by: ptfunds on December 01, 2009, 09:21:36 pm: I have learned to live without one since we moved to RV living. It does require doing dishes often as there is not a lot of kitchen space. I missed it most at Thanksgiving when I wished that I could just rinse and hide the dishes in the dishwasher :D !!
Title: Re: What would you do without your diswasher?
Post by: bmorebabe25 on December 01, 2009, 10:22:16 pm: Don't have one, I wish I did! Kids create lots of dishes and I cook a lot!
Title: Re: What would you do without your diswasher?
Post by: mrisha on December 02, 2009, 09:10:54 am: I don't have a dishwasher, so I guess its a moot point. I really don't particularly like dishwashers-use too much water. Years ago when I lived in a condo I had the dishwasher removed because for me it was taking up too much space.

Post by: James9777 on December 06, 2009, 10:31:12 pm: I don't have a dishwasher nor have I ever so I guess I would wash by hand like I do now!
Title: Re: What would you do without your diswasher?
Post by: jkhanson on December 07, 2009, 04:42:10 am: I'd miss the dishwasher for sure, but I grew up without one, so it wouldn't be a big deal.
Title: Re: What would you do without your diswasher?
Post by: AmyTrivitt on December 07, 2009, 05:43:51 am: I would wash them by hand till we bought a new one.
