I don't think that is possible RNT. Nevemind the actual energy usage of the machine itself (motor and heater), there is the energy costs to create and transport it.road.not.taken wrote:The right dishwasher is much more efficient than handwashing. The Fisher & Paykel drawer unit for example is not only water efficient, but energy efficient as well.
Ozchick, surely you mean during the preparation of the meal and not DURING the meal itself? This argument has already gotten the better of you, has it not?
It reminds me of the old joke: if a man empties a dishwasher and a woman isn't there to see it, does it still count?
Tree huggers woud say it doesn't put into the equation the making, transporting and eventually disposing of the unit.road.not.taken wrote:If you google: 'energy efficient hand washing dishwasher' you'll come up with a lot of websites with a lot of answers. From what I have read and reseached when I bought my last dishwasher: the prevailing wisdom is that if you are using the right dishwasher in the right way ~ it can use much less energy and water than handwashing the same amount of items.
Get a couple of roaches and next time he piles the plates up, chuck the roaches on them and call him into the kitchen and show him. I would have to say just to leave them in the tropics is a bit grim, ether put them in the sink and rinse it to make less roach attractive, or stick them straight into the washer most dish washers have a rinse cycle for this very situation.ozchick wrote:Sigh....WELL I GIVE UP!!
Only one of you said what I wanted to hear
Thanks SMS! I wanted to hear that one should put the dishes in the sink until the entire meal is over and THEN load the lot into the dishwasher.
What I didn't want to hear is what my other half insists we do. That is-
'sit them ON the bench above the dishwasher until one gets around to loading it, even if this means several hours later'. I just get really mad about this and don't know ANYONE who would DO this...sigh...so the stalemate continues. And for the record. I don't need a dishwasher. It seems to be a Scandinavian thing....I mean I've always had one but that's because in Oz they come standard in most kitchens. My sweet man had to go out and buy one here in Sg, ask permission from the landlord to install it which we did and when we move out next month, it's coming with us to be installed in the new apartment. Mm....and did you know that "nothing gets cleaned as well as it does in the dishwasher"...sigh.....
Anyway, at least I don't have to worry about another woman in his life.... he and DW have got a real thing happenin' here! When he hears it starting up- Jeezaloo does HE look happy !! As for the waste of water, well yeah coming from Oz you guys can imagine the blues we have about this....let's not go there.....
hehehehe - its one of those things that guys could give a s**t about but really p**ses the wife (or significant other for all you new age people) off.ozchick wrote:Sigh....WELL I GIVE UP!!

So when is the big day? ha!Only one of you said what I wanted to hear

That's probably why you will never have one! You sound too much like my old mate, but never mind he pays 300£ a time I really couldn't believe it but he says he finds, it cheaper than having a woman It just goes to show how egos, get deflated when they get older. My mate has never lived with anyone since 1987 and he still believes he's gods gift to women, yet hates the bitches...yes his own words not mine, i really enjoyed doing the psychological profiling.rattlesnake wrote:hehehehe - its one of those things that guys could give a s**t about but really p**ses the wife (or significant other for all you new age people) off.ozchick wrote:Sigh....WELL I GIVE UP!!

Right up there with the toilet seat, towels on the floor and getting caught shagging the maid. Women - I'll never understand them.
