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.

More fool you. It actually costs less to run than doing it by hand.

Sure? Dishwashers only wash properly at something like 75C. You don't
use anything like that temperature by hand, most of the work is done by
scrubbing, but a dishwasher can't scrub. You also drip dry things, or
dry them with a towel. The dishwasher uses heat.

Dishwashers use water blasting with grit to scrub dishes. Only old ones
use a hot drying cycle now.

That would explain why the new one (new model) I bought last year
uses...errr...heat.

No other way to dry dishes really. Apart from a class 2 hurricane, which might damage the crockery. Dyson will try it one day.
