I doubt it. My dishwasher takes a little over 1200 cubic inches of
water four to six times. (And takes how long?) And it heats the water
for washing and the air for drying with a very large heating element.

My sink takes a little under 1200 in³ twice. (and finishes much faster)
And the water is heated with gas.

On top of that, _some_ "dishwashers" are only for rinsing. You have to
pre-soak and or scrub everything first.

You still need a dish rack, there will always be hand was items and
other things that need a rack to rest on and dry.

I used dishwasher for several years and never needed a rack.
The two or three no-dishwasher items were washed, shaken off, and
set on a paper towel.
