Re: Dishwasher broken
I have had a dishwasher for 25 years or more. I have probably used one less than 10 times during that span.
I dislike leaving dishes in a holding pattern for two days for so. It's so much easier to fill the sink, use hot water, scrub them up nicely, then drain, dry and put away. It takes less time than the hour it takes for the dishwasher to run, then check for food particles, then rinse again, etc.
Even at holidays with the family, I still prefer to wash them by hand.
