Really? I like to hear your process.

Mine is:

1 - Open door
2 - Insert dishes
3 - Add soap
4 - Close soap door
5 - Push button

And that's for a sink full of dishes from a 4 person dinner.


He has a one person dinner. Wash the few items by hand, rinse and place
them in the dish rack, and use them again the next meal.

That is true for a fried egg or hot dog and beans, but when you have four
mixing bowls, utensils, pots, etc, put the stuff for couple of meals
together and push the button.

It is well documented that you use less water in a full machine than doing
the equivalent by hand. With two of us, the machine is full and runs
usually every other day, sometimes more.
