When Baby Bear came 5 months ago, I started to use it. My SO washs by hand b/c he wants them super clean. If I rinse, they are clean.lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-dishwasher#post-77079 Fri, 17 Feb 2012 00:32:34 +0000 Sweet T 77079@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i love having a dishwasher! i don't think i could ever live in a house without one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-dishwasher#post-77069 Thu, 16 Feb 2012 23:54:40 +0000 skibobrown 77069@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our new rental house where we're moving this summer doesn't have a dishwasher. The first thing I plan on buying once we move there is one of those external dishwashers that hooks up to the sink. I couldn't possibly live without a dishwasher, and I'm pretty sure I'll feel ever more strongly about this once baby arrives. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-dishwasher#post-77063 Thu, 16 Feb 2012 23:20:38 +0000 joyjoy 77063@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When we didn't have a good dishwasher, I would wash the dishes by hand and use the dishwasher as a giant drying rack.</p> <p>Now that we have a good dishwasher, I can't remember how I was able to wash all those dishes by hand! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-dishwasher#post-77055 Thu, 16 Feb 2012 23:09:39 +0000 mynoahbear 77055@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All the time....I can't imagine not having a dishwasher anymore. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-dishwasher#post-77034 Thu, 16 Feb 2012 22:39:00 +0000 anbanan15 77034@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a dishwasher but only use it to DRY the dishes! We wash everything by hand. </p> <p>I used to think I could not live without a dishwasher, but it was impracticle to wash our small china set multiple times a day. I think the dishwasher will become more important as we have larger loads. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-dishwasher#post-77028 Thu, 16 Feb 2012 22:31:02 +0000 hilsy85 77028@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>OMG yes I would be so unhappy without my dishwasher! I don't even mind washing things, really--it's the drying that I hate! That's why DH does that part :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-dishwasher#post-76963 Thu, 16 Feb 2012 21:12:40 +0000 Grace 76963@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh, I love my dishwasher. Even when I had a bad one, if it didn't get clean, I'd just wash it again. Now we have a Bosch, best dishwasher ev-AR!! And I find that I cook more when I don't have to hand wash afterwards. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-dishwasher#post-76860 Thu, 16 Feb 2012 18:39:56 +0000 cupcakemama 76860@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't have a dishwasher.

I can not fathom dealing with dishes, I hand wash pots and serving pieces but I like the sani-rinse feature for drinkware and flatware, esp. when someone's sick. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-dishwasher#post-76422 Thu, 16 Feb 2012 13:14:20 +0000 mrsjyw 76422@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom does all her dishes by hand.

For the 7 years before we bought it I did not have one in the places I weas renting. LOOOOOOOVE having one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-dishwasher#post-76385 Thu, 16 Feb 2012 12:44:32 +0000 chopsuey 76385@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hand wash.

Our dishwasher just doesn't do a good enough job. It's a pain to hand wash the dishes every day though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-dishwasher#post-76336 Thu, 16 Feb 2012 12:10:18 +0000 autumnlove 76336@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, we have one and we love it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-dishwasher#post-76334 Thu, 16 Feb 2012 12:06:14 +0000 prettylizy 76334@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Every other day we seem to fill that thing. I don't think we could live without it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-dishwasher#post-76331 Thu, 16 Feb 2012 12:01:06 +0000 Mrsbells 76331@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we have a dishwasher but we dont use it. So far its just the two of us and I feel its washed better and cleaner if its done by hand. Maybe when the baby arrives that might change but for now the dishwasher just sits there unused. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-dishwasher#post-76320 Thu, 16 Feb 2012 11:51:49 +0000 mamabolt 76320@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH and I lived without a dishwasher for six months and it sucked for us. I felt like I spent 45 minutes a day washing dishes, and for as little free time as we have, that was way too much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-dishwasher#post-76312 Thu, 16 Feb 2012 11:48:51 +0000 j0s1e267 76312@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used to wash by hand UNTIL the twins came along and generated lotsa bottles so we started to use th dishwasher. After just using it for 2 weeks, it broke down and could not get fixed for another 2 weeks! We missed it so much and was amazed and how dependent we got on it in such a short time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-dishwasher#post-76311 Thu, 16 Feb 2012 11:47:10 +0000 BabyLove 76311@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If I could marry my dishwasher I would! Ok, I wouldn't... but it would be my secret affair :oP</p> <p>I love having a dishwasher! I washed dishes by hand for years and cursed it every-single-time. It's so much easier for me to clean up after cooking and dinner time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-dishwasher#post-76305 Thu, 16 Feb 2012 11:40:56 +0000 mrbee 76305@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I prefer to wash things by hand too!</p> <p>But I'm trying to use the dishwasher... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-dishwasher#post-76303 Thu, 16 Feb 2012 11:39:57 +0000 heffalump 76303@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My SIL has a dishwasher but prefers to wash dishes by hand. I think that's crazy talk. If it's dishwasher safe, it goes in the dishwasher. I'm already washing bottles all the time, I don't need to wash dishes too. </p>
