Is there a real difference in water and electricity consumption? Personally, I don't use a lot of water to wash my dishes (by hand), but maybe I should install a flow meter to make sure.

What is your opinion on the subject? Do you have any evidence or studies available that could confirm your intuition? Or do you have other alternatives in mind?

I have 4 children. I would literally sell a kidney to buy a dishwasher, if I couldn't afford one. Fuck washing dishes by hand. Anyone who doesn't agree with me is either brain damaged or a masochist.
