I prefer washing dishes in a dishwasher if at all possible. My wife and I had this argument for years at home. She preferred to wash by hand whereas I preferred the thoroughness of the machine. As diligent as my lovely wife and I were about hand washing dishes thoroughly, the results were never as consistently clean as the machine washed dishes.
Now we wash by machine at home.
If we had the space for it, I'd personally love a dishwasher on the boat.
On this boat we added a Splendide washer/dryer, something we would have scoffed at a few years ago. We use it every other day and love having it aboard.
Appliances are not all evil and I find that we can charge batteries, make water, heat hot water, run air conditioning and wash clothes in a 3 to 4 hour cycle every day thus keeping our Northern Lights generator happily loaded.
