Owning your own home

That's the point though (and I know it's anecdotal) but if you were washing 20 plates and 10 cups your dishwasher might use less than 5 bowls of water.

I used it everyday, I got a slim dishwasher that we still run even when less than half full (on eco) as it still take less water than washing the same load by hand as it is four times more water efficient than washing by hand per place setting.
