Cmv: i think dishwashers are a waste of time and money.:
My reasoning is simple:

- dishwashers require the dishes to be "pre cleaned". This already defeats the purpose, why did I pay hundreds of dollars for a machine that doesn't have food processing capabilities?
- dishwashers rarely removed ingrained or dried gunk. This only worsens when you charge the dishwasher over a couple of days, and the older plates have already dried up. You have to take the still dirty plates and clean them manually.
- dishwashers don't properly dry "deep" items like Tupperware and pots, if you aren't careful taking these out, you'll get everything else wet, once again making the process useless. 

I think overall that dishwashers are overrated, undercapable, overpriced appliances that have no place in a modern kitchen.
