The latest Bosch only cost me $50 at a garage sale and works fine.

for me it'd be the running cost that would annoy me I suspect.

12-20p a wash versus half an hour or so of hand washing.

Mine is closer to 5p a wash and that is with Finish, not some cheap ****.

Finish costs more than 5p a tablet.

Not at the best prices it is ever sold for it doesnt.

My figure was TCO per wash.

So was mine tho the only additional cost is the cost
of heating the water. I dont bother with rinse aid
and never need to do anything about hard water.

And a hand wash uses a lot more hot water too.

Probably.

Certainly, essentially because when you hand wash
every day or after ever meal you use a hell of a lot
more hot water than the dishwasher run every 9-10
days does or even if run every 4 days.
