Ours broke for a month, and it was such a PITA. I couldn't go back to living somewhere without one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/we-finally-get-a-dishwasher#post-984659 Fri, 02 Aug 2013 10:51:40 +0000 FarmWifeGina 984659@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't grow up with one and we spent most of our married life without one- and then I put my foot down about a year and told DH, I don't care WHICH cabinets you have to tear apart to make it work, I NEED a dishwasher!!!! And I never want to go back. It's amazing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/we-finally-get-a-dishwasher#post-984581 Fri, 02 Aug 2013 10:32:02 +0000 regberadaisy 984581@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TheReelDeal: We did a gut renovation of our kitchen. DH needed to run electrical and new plumbing for it bc we expanded and rearranged the kitchen layout. But with 50 million other renovation tasks the dw was low on the totem pole. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/we-finally-get-a-dishwasher#post-984449 Fri, 02 Aug 2013 10:03:00 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 984449@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's awesome! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/we-finally-get-a-dishwasher#post-984445 Fri, 02 Aug 2013 10:02:22 +0000 LovelyPlum 984445@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yay!

We had this old gross dishwasher for the longest time since we moved into our house in 2008. We hand washed majority of the dishes b/c I didn't like putting stuff in there since the racks were all rusted. </p> <p>Well about a month ago we finally bought a new one! It's amazing and it's so awesome to just throw everything in there and run it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/we-finally-get-a-dishwasher#post-984143 Fri, 02 Aug 2013 08:39:24 +0000 TheReelDeal 984143@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is exciting. We are going to be purchasing one very soon. @regberadaisy are you installing it in an area that didn't currently have a dishwasher? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/we-finally-get-a-dishwasher#post-984131 Fri, 02 Aug 2013 08:35:32 +0000 littlek 984131@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: Yay!!! I can't imagine not having a dish washer. We would be living with paper plates and plastic utensils. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/we-finally-get-a-dishwasher#post-983997 Fri, 02 Aug 2013 07:54:53 +0000 Sunshine1810 983997@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's great! I spent a large part of my time as a kid with my grandparents and they had no dishwasher so I did dishes a lot! I can still remember saying to my grandmother "when I grow up, I'm definitely buying a dishwasher!" She used to laugh at me, but then when she got older and downsized into an apartment she had one for the first time in her life...and she LOVED it!</p> <p>@Mrs. Polish: I love your comment about the cast iron! My DH and I had that conversation when I first moved in with him...after I put it through the dishwasher...ooops! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/we-finally-get-a-dishwasher#post-983972 Fri, 02 Aug 2013 07:48:40 +0000 MrsTiz 983972@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I could not live without a dishwasher, holy crap! Ours was broken for a day or two and I thought I was going to have a meltdown after washing a million cups lol! </p> <p>Wooohoo for an easier choreload for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/we-finally-get-a-dishwasher#post-983916 Fri, 02 Aug 2013 07:33:34 +0000 regberadaisy 983916@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Polish: oh nooooo. Cast iron + dw = no no.</p> <p>Honestly I never had a dishwasher growing up. Then when DH &amp; I rented our first apartment there was a dw. Now I don't want to ever live without it. When my mom comes visit us (at the old house) she <i>loved</i> having the dw! hehe </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/we-finally-get-a-dishwasher#post-983909 Fri, 02 Aug 2013 07:31:14 +0000 Mrs. Polish 983909@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yesssss!! I had to have a repeated conversation with DH in which he had to repeat "The cast iron does not go in the dish washer. The cast iron does not get soap". </p> <p>Honestly, I've never been without a DW so I don't even know how good I have it. That is so exciting for you though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/we-finally-get-a-dishwasher#post-983901 Fri, 02 Aug 2013 07:28:23 +0000 jhd 983901@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yay!!!! We are renting an apt with no dishwasher. I can't wait to have a dishwasher! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/we-finally-get-a-dishwasher#post-983891 Fri, 02 Aug 2013 07:24:13 +0000 regberadaisy 983891@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We purchased a dishwasher <i>months</i> ago (11/2012!) with our stove and hood for additional discount. But it's been sitting at the appliance store since then because we haven't been ready for it yet.</p> <p>Monday it is finally getting delivered and installed!!! Woot!</p> <p>I'm so excited! We've dealed without it but man am I excited to get at least 1 - 1 1/2 hours of my day back! Between cleaning up from breakfast, lunch and dinners and 2 snacks I feel like all we ever do are dishes! It'll be soooo nice to just plop them in the d/w and hit wash!</p> <p>What appliances did you live without for a long time? </p>
