It's a must have...I can't imagine having to wash dishes after every meal, especially once we have kids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-your-dishwasher#post-97356 Tue, 20 Mar 2012 09:59:17 +0000 joyjoy 97356@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, but we only run it every couple days or so since there's only two of us right now. We only hand wash things that aren't dishwasher safe. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-your-dishwasher#post-97351 Tue, 20 Mar 2012 09:53:54 +0000 mynoahbear 97351@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm so glad we have a regular dishwasher, which is rare in Japan. I use it every day or every other day, depending on if I cook or not. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-your-dishwasher#post-97320 Tue, 20 Mar 2012 09:17:51 +0000 PearlBee 97320@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With just the two of us, it takes us a couple of days to fill, but we definitely use it. I still handwash things that aren't super dishwasher-safe or are a strange size, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-your-dishwasher#post-96578 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 14:50:21 +0000 banana 96578@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>OMG I can't live without it! I never had one before moving into our new house and to be honest, never really knew what the big deal was. Man oh man. Now it's a household appliance I MUST have. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-your-dishwasher#post-96572 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 14:43:08 +0000 mrsjyw 96572@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use it all the time. So do InLaws.

My parents use theirs as a drying rack! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-your-dishwasher#post-96551 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 14:18:33 +0000 Alivoo01 96551@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I run it when we're entertaining or I make a huge production while cooking. Otherwise, we run it every other week just to rinse it out and keep the moldy scent at bay since we use it as a drying rack for hand washed dishes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-your-dishwasher#post-96550 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 14:10:54 +0000 tequiero21 96550@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we run it about once a week. i'm sure with the babies, we'll be running it every day to every other day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-your-dishwasher#post-96523 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 13:46:36 +0000 yoursilverlining 96523@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We run our dishwasher just about every night. Whomever doesn’t cook keeps up with the dishes during prep (either hand washing or putting into dishwasher), and we hand wash all large bowls, knives, cutting boards (except plastic ones) and pots/pans. Our dishwasher isn’t huge, so we usually generate enough dinner dishes to run it at night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-your-dishwasher#post-96518 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 13:45:17 +0000 sulli301 96518@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use it ALL THE TIME! I cook a big dinner everyday &amp; make myself lunch everyday too, so it's usually 2 loads/day here. I do hand wash certain pieces but I would hate not having a dishwasher. I didn't mind in college but now? No way! I also like that it keeps my sink clutter free! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-your-dishwasher#post-96511 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 13:41:21 +0000 chopsuey 96511@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hand wash! If I had an awesome dishwasher I could trust, I'd probably use it more often. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-your-dishwasher#post-96488 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 13:13:02 +0000 Mrs. Bee 96488@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HabesBabe: i do think handwashing is better generally esp when crap is stuck, but dishwashing prolly disinfects better because it gets so hot.</p> <p>and yup we've always had dishwashers in our houses growing up, but they were only used for storage! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-your-dishwasher#post-96487 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 13:11:58 +0000 BSB 96487@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We run ours about every other day.

When I moved in with hubby he never cooked so he didn't bother to fix it when it broke. I made him fix it for me though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-your-dishwasher#post-96479 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 13:02:35 +0000 HabesBabe 96479@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use ours all the time (I only handwash things that aren't dishwasher safe or that are too big for the dishwasher)-- I come from a family who only used the dishwasher as a drying rack (I think it's an Asian thing-- something about not trusting the machine to wash as well as a person would).</p> <p><a href="http://www.asian-central.com/stuffasianpeoplelike/2008/02/27/18-doing-the-dishes/" rel="nofollow">http://www.asian-central.com/stuffasianpeoplelike/2008/02/27/18-doing-the-dishes/</a></p> <p>This about sums it up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-your-dishwasher#post-96476 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 12:53:16 +0000 mamabolt 96476@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh yes. We lived without one for six months and it caused endless fights in our house over who had to deal with the dishes. I couldn't live without it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-your-dishwasher#post-96464 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 12:24:15 +0000 anbanan15 96464@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use ours as a drying rack, but if DH, DS and I were all eating the same meals and using a full loads worth of plates a day, I would not be able to live without it. With DS/mine diets and DH's work schedule it just makes sense not to right now.</p> <p>(BTW I'm having total déjà vu with this post. I had to double check and triple check that something wasn't wrong with my computer here lol) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-your-dishwasher#post-96449 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 12:15:30 +0000 PastaAndPotato 96449@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i could not LIVE without my dishwasher - other than big pots and pans, EVERYTHING goes into it </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-your-dishwasher#post-96448 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 12:13:33 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 96448@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh i use it every second day. its a must.

It is really a sticking point for me with apartments. I refuse to live in apts with no dishwasher. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-your-dishwasher#post-96402 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 11:24:53 +0000 winniebee 96402@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! Well, perhaps not every single day, but nearly every day. I wash all pots/pans/knives by hand though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-your-dishwasher#post-96401 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 11:24:52 +0000 Mrsbells 96401@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we have never used ours since we moved in last summer. currently its being used as a storage space for some of our china. I have always washed by hand and I think thats better for getting the dishes clean </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-your-dishwasher#post-96399 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 11:20:18 +0000 cyndistar3 96399@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely, with the three of us plus we have a friend living with us I have to use it every day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-your-dishwasher#post-96398 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 11:19:25 +0000 lilteacherbee 96398@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're renting a really old house and there's NO dishwasher! Since DH cooks our meals, I wash the dishes. I don't really mind it though. My parents never used our dishwasher growing up (even though we had one). The first time I ever learned how to turn a dishwasher on was in college! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-your-dishwasher#post-96393 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 11:16:09 +0000 MamaMoose 96393@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't run it every day since there are only two of us but we do use it often.
