Dishwashers used to be viewed as a luxury appliance
, something that wasnt absolutely necessary but some kitchens had them. These days with everyone being busy and having little time for housework the dishwasher has now become one of the most commonly used appliances in the kitchen. It is no surprise since they make the arduous task of washing dishes as easy as placing our dishes in a rack and pressing a button.
Many people now have a dishwasher in their home and have been able to save plenty of time by getting an entire pile of dishes, cutlery and glassware all washed in the background whilst we are free to either complete other household chores or relax. The main issue for some smaller homes such as flats is that they may only have a small kitchen that may already be packed with all of their necessary appliances such as washing machines and cookers.
The benefit of dishwashers though is that they come in a wide range of styles and sizes. Some dishwashers can be half the width of most other appliances making them ideal for small spaces as well as table top versions that are great for getting a small amount washed at once. Since most homes with these small kitchens will only have one or two occupants a smaller appliance may be all that you need and wont have to use the dishwasher when it is only half full.
Another thing many people may not be aware of is that by using dishwashers instead of washing by hand you are not only saving time but you are also going to save money, when washing by hand it has been discovered that we will use on average 6 gallons more water than using an efficient and full dishwasher.
The other fact is that temperatures inside of a dishwasher can reach 70 or 80C making them perfect for removing even the most stubborn dirt and burnt on food. At these temperatures the dirt is dissolved and removed much more effectively than scrubbing at pots and pans for long periods of time. With water jets firing from multiple angles as well as alternating cleaning and rinsing cycles you can get pristine dishes at the end of the washing cycle that can get your dishes shining in a way that washing by hand simply cant match.
There have been a lot of households who have seen the benefits of getting a dishwasher to do their dirty work and once they have used them once they have found the time and effort saved is more than worth the asking price.
