off-topic Do you feel dishwashers are for lazy people?

For threads discussing subjects unrelated to the main forum topics.
When it's becoming increasingly hard to live on one income, let alone two, I don't find having a dishwasher as being lazy, yet a luxury to be able to take time away from life to enjoy what really matters.
I understand that restaurants need them to a degree
Restaurants absolutely need dishwashers (both human and machines) because you're never going to get the dishes up to temperature to kill the bacteria that long with a human alone that's as cost-effective. A human is also needed to ensure that what's fed into the machine can be cleaned by the machine and to run a dish back through, scrubbed again, if the dishwasher cooks a piece of leftover food on it.
 
Homes should figure out who is going to be doing the dishes. It is what will help everyone stay on course in terms of being hardworking. I can understand a home where the lady is heavily pregnant and the man is always working employing a dishwasher.
Well, emergency situations are understandable.

It doesn't take that long to do dishes in a household.

No, but that's not my argument, either.

If a mother is working 45 hours a week and a father is working 45 hours a week to put food on the table because the cost of living is so high, why not run the dishwasher? You're essentially taking away 30 minutes to 1 hour a meal (assuming a family of 5) from other more important things, like parenting or teaching your children something, for example.

If the household could be supported by 1 income, I could see it differently, for as long as it's a conservative-style relationship.

I've never felt comfortable around hired help. I felt that way when a caretaker was hired from my grandfather who had Alzheimers.

Are we talking about a mechanical dishwasher in a kitchen or a hired person to do household chores, i.e., a nanny or maid?

I was under the impression that we're talking about a machine, not a person.
 
Well, as long as its a small household, instead of dishwasher, the best option is to ensure that all the family members wash their own dishes. That way, there is an element of discipline as well as some serious money and time savings.

However, if it gets out of hand I see no issues as to why a dishwasher is a bad idea. Technology is to help people make their life easier and if it helps to make your life easier, why not buy one and run one?

The old times of dishwashers being the exclusive product in a restaurant kitchen is old time myth. These days, most kitchens have one. infact, i also have one.
 
As a mother of 4 with health conditions, I would love a dishwasher. You will be surprised at how much washing up of dishes and such I do in a day. I have been planning on getting a dishwasher to help me out as standing to wash dishes can be too much, hoping to get one in the coming months :)

I hope you end up finding someone who is really kind and has an interest in the job. That is the biggest issue that has to do with dishwashers as not all of them are kind in nature.
 
I don’t think dishwashers are for lazy people. They save time and water, letting you focus on other tasks. I don't have a dishwasher though.

To have a dishwasher means that you plan to make more from elsewhere because you are planning to save time, which you channel into making more money. I don't see having one as a wrong move.
