Do you use an automatic dishwasher or do you wash your dishes by hand? Frankly, anyone that uses dishwashers is a lazy plebeian that doesn't enjoy dishwashing, and I have no respect for them.
You might be thinking, "Who cares? I just need my kitchen to get my plates from point A to point B clean. Why do extra work?"
Let me explain it to you:
-Automatic dishwashers are heavier due to extra equipment in your kitchen
-Automatic dishwashers have less torque. A hand and a sponge provide much better torque to help scrub off stains
-Automatics are less fuel efficient because they require power to operate the dishwasher; manual dishwashing only requires a water source
-Automatics require more dishwashing liquid
-Manual dishwashing leads to less kitchen maintenance
Plus, washing your dishes by hand gives you greater control of your dishes, and it's more fun.
So Flood, what do you use?

[/quote] It doesn't take 5 minutes when you have 5 family members and your Dad is a chef. I'd rather not waste time on something that can be done on it's own. It's not in the least bit entertaining.

Washing dishes is fun? Yeah, no.

I do them by hand because it's a lot faster.

Of course it's fun; being able to accelerate from 0 to 60 dishes per hour is intense. [Edited on 11.30.2012 2:18 PM PST]

I know what this is making fun of, but to answer the question, I do a mix of both.

I used an automatic dishwasher up until about 2 years ago. Then I moved into an apartment that didn't have one so I just did all my dishes by hand. Now I'm so used to it that I do that regardless.

icwatudidthar For my dishes, I just throw them in the local lake and get them out after a day or two. Catfish clean them up quite nicely. [Edited on 11.30.2012 1:31 PM PST]

I do both depending on what I feel like. After a 9 hour day busting my ass in a laboratory performing all sorts of R&D, I'll be damned if I don't feel like taking it easy on the dishes some nights.

I tend to wash things up right after I use them.
-
Plates, glasses and flatware? Dishwasher. Pots, pans, tools/implements/knives? Handwash.

Depends on the size of your house, really. If you live with 5 people, it's much easier to just toss your dishes in the dishwasher. As for me, I just live with one other person, so we rarely use our dishwasher. Usually we just wash them in the sink and let them dry.

Real men use their hands.
-
I use both. I hope no one just throws dirty dishes in the dishwasher will nilly, that's stupid. I rinse off every dish and scrub the hell out of them to get anything off, then put them in he dishwasher, mostly as a once-over sort of thing and to kill any remaining bacteria.

Dishwasher by far

Semi-automatic. I just turn a hand crank and the machine does the rest.
