Most dishwashers use 3 – 3.5 gallons per wash cycle, and the same for rinse. So 6 – 7 gallons per load. Unless your water heater is within a few feet of your sink, you’ll run out one to two gallons just getting the hot water to the tap. Use the dishwasher.

It’ll all come out in the dishwater.

When I was fifteen, I washed dishes by hand after school at my step-dad’s German restaurant in a 10 × 12 kitchen. Hand washing is overrated.

“Why get a dishwasher, we already have two,” my parent would say.
