interesting article, walter.

for me, it’s hard for me to get the sense that dishwashing is better because nowadays when I do dishes it’s typically one bowl, one spoon, and one pot/pan… and it’s a lot quicker to handwash it at that point! especially since sticky rice is sticky.

but if dishwashers (and i’m talking about one for more like $500ish) can sense the load and adjust water flow based on that, I could believe that.

@profhoff and UCGal, I looked at the drawer unit you two suggested and although sleek, it seems to be about twice of what I was looking to spend. =)

@CBad, that’s the option I was gearing towards until I went appliance browsing over the weekend and saw a decent looking one for about $550. since i’m redoing the entire place, i don’t need to have the hookups there if i don’t want ’em! i’ll need to think about how often i’ll use it… maybe i’ll love it once I try it out?

@jpinpb, yes!!! I’ve been reading that thread religiously and was going to go check out the Sears outlet closer to a time when i’l be purchasing everything.

I’m going to have my dad and uncle install everything for me. My uncle has worked as a general contractor and loves helping out family! We’re going to go with standard cabinets to save money… so I haven’t quite decided on exactly which cabinets as I will be buying them separately… =)

TY walter, I was thinking that I was crazy! I am a prudent, efficient, handwasher who enjoys the feeling of warm water running through my fingers and the satisfaction of getting every bit of food off of my plate.

As for silverware.. I can see where it’ll be more difficult for forks. But I barely eat with a fork. Chopsticks and spoons all the way!

Regardless, majority will win.

When I was growing up, we used the dishwasher to store our extra cups. When my parents redid the kitchen they took out the trash compactor and dishwasher. Of course, they bought the house to retire in and have no thoughts of moving anywhere for the rest of their lives.

I got so used to the art of handwashing that I never really considered what mainstream wants. In fact, I don’t know if I even know how to operate one.. or even what fancy detergents,etc I will need to get to supplement it. Time to google.

Thanks for the harsh dose of reality. Guess I’ll add “dishwasher” to the list.
