We have the Fisher& Paykel dishdrawers (both together are supposed to be more efficent than 1 standard dishwasher) and they are wonderful!<BR/><BR/>Also - i used to think dishwashers used more water than hand washing . Actually they don't (well, maybe that depends on the brand). Once you've emptied the sink and refilled because it's cold/greasy etc from doing thepots etc, you actually use more water doing it by hand.<BR/><BR/>These are just thoughts in case your conscience wants some help to buy one!<BR/><BR/>Silly saleslady though - really!Cwm Goch Chronicleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02558862886059484316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7256732481931588219.post-78675674178052429172008-08-11T06:44:00.000+08:002008-08-11T06:44:00.000+08:00No Kristen, your heart can be still, it was the mo...No Kristen, your heart can be still, it was the model down from 'the cutlery shelf' LOL.<BR/><BR/>I saw that one (last one in the shop and it had a sold sticker) and it is such a sensible design. <BR/><BR/>For those of you who read my blog and are in Perth, it was the HN at Morley (closing down sale).The Crone at Wits Endhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12139566501738953285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7256732481931588219.post-13906042941249690202008-08-11T06:06:00.000+08:002008-08-11T06:06:00.000+08:00You gave up a Miele for $879?

(oops, think I just drooled on my keyboard).<BR/><BR/>I sort of enjoyed our recent 5 weeks without a dishwasher, but I am very happy to have one (even if it's not the Miele of my dreams) back in the kitchen today...<BR/><BR/>But due to the vagaries of our hot water system and my kitchen sink set up, I'm pretty certain we do save water by using a dishwasher...Domestic Adventuresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14140551815183106863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7256732481931588219.post-6739171423613847412008-08-10T18:05:00.000+08:002008-08-10T18:05:00.000+08:00good for you! think of all the plants you could bu...good for you! think of all the plants you could buy with that money . . xxnaturewitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05612495206869016620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7256732481931588219.post-42276750985088880312008-08-10T14:34:00.000+08:002008-08-10T14:34:00.000+08:00*sigh* I wish I could think like you.

I have a bad back and washing dishes is no joy-it (both my back and my time which could be spent doing something more interesting) LOL<BR/><BR/>Perhaps I could compromise-take less showers or somefing? ;-)Jaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15772862427317598066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7256732481931588219.post-83377959164560249372008-08-10T07:16:00.000+08:002008-08-10T07:16:00.000+08:00Some of the greatest conversation have taken place...Some of the greatest conversation have taken place between two people at the kitchen sink. It starts with "do you want to wash or wipe?" and builds from there. <BR/>Introducing dishwashers into Australian families has stifled communication! The world would be a better place if more people talked through the washing up. I am sure many conflicts could have been averted if leaders met over the sink, one with tea towel in hand.Imagine the sheer bonding if George was to say "where do I put the coffee mugs Suddam ?" - All would have been well.
