I was really hesitant to use the dishwasher before. Besides the fact that we only have a few dishes soiled after every meal, it also comes up much more expensive than hand washing. It uses a lot of water and electricity. Before loading dishes into the dishwasher, you also need to make sure to wipe off the big stuff that is stuck in your dishes. You literally have to do some partial cleaning on the dishes.

I’m still hesitant to use the dishwasher but not that hesitant anymore. You see, it goes with the place we’re renting. We need to use it every now and then or else it may not be at its best after awhile of being left alone. Also, as a housewife, there are really times when you don’t feel like washing the dishes right after eating especially when hubby is watching a nice TV show on the couch. This is when the dishwasher comes in handy. Also he wants me to watch TV with him rather than making noises (banging the dishes and pots) at the kitchen.

The best thing about the dishwasher is that it cleans glasses better than if you hand wash them. The plates too comes out shinier from the dishwasher. On top of everything else, it is sure nice to have a choice. When I have time to spare which I usually do, I hand wash everything. When I’m short of time, like today after dinner, we’re going to watch a movie, then I would need to use the dishwasher so when we get back from the movies, dishes will already be clean.
