Over here, dishwashers are usually cold fill.

That's dumb.

Over here dishwashers only use a few litre of hot water.
Its cheaper to heat it in the machine than to use hot fill.


They use very little water,
so often they would fill mostly cold anyway, from water lying in the pipe.

So you waste the water in the pipes either way. If you're washing by hand
(with hot water) you're wasting all the hot water needed to get the tap up
to
temperature, plus the water needed to do the dishes. Seems like an even
stronger argument for a hot-water plumed dishwasher.

How can that be true, no hot water is wasted in a cold fill dishwasher.
