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.

I didn't realise there was grit in the tablets.

Only old ones use a hot drying cycle now.

Mine is only about 2 years old and it does. So they dry by magic?

What tablets?

The things you put in to wash the dishes! The detergent!


I don't use tablets.


Me too neither. I use Finish powder - which you can only get in 1kg
plastic jobs now rather than the 3kg ones that used to be available.
They've pushed all the suckers towards tablets as they are more
expensive.


I buy them for convenience. And they cost **** all, especially supermarket's own.
