<Is the dishwasher convenient? No need? > [Part 1] I'm worried about whether it's better to have a dishwasher ... Thorough discussion of the merits and demerits! | Mama Master Select

Speaking of "dishwasher/dryer", "fully automatic washer/dryer", and "cleaning robot", these are home appliances that save time on housework. However, there are probably many mothers who are wondering if it is really convenient or if it will lead to a reduction in housework time.

This time, the contributor asked a question about the "dishwasher/dryer (hereinafter: dishwasher)".

Dishwashers are said to make housework much more comfortable and save time. Items that are supposed to be convenient and comfortable may feel unnecessary depending on the person. However, in response to the voice of the poster who said, "Isn't there a dishwasher?"

Benefit 1 of a Dishwasher: Saving Money

First of all, the key word that moms wanted to tell us was "saving money."

When you wash the dishes and utensils for your family after meals, you tend to leave the water running for a long time when washing your hands.

When you think about saving money, there are various ways to stop the water, such as keeping water in the sink and soaking it, but sometimes you end up leaving it running. If you have a lot of dishes to wash, it will take time to rinse off the washed detergent. In the case of the point dishwasher, it seems that the water bill can be suppressed.

You may also be wondering if using a dishwasher will increase your electricity bill. However, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry has announced that the electricity bill for using a dishwasher will be cheaper than the gas bill for hand washing with hot water.

Of course, depending on how often you use the dishwasher and how you use it, it seems that the dishwasher (electricity + water) can exceed the hand washing (gas + water). If you're looking to save money, it might be a good idea to wash them all together in the dishwasher.

You can also spend time with your family

Using a dishwasher saves time Some people said that it was faster to wash it by themselves. However, we heard from moms who use dishwashers that they can use the time to wash dishes for other things.

With the dishwasher, you can use that time to do other things. It's kind of short-lived.

When I was using a dishwasher, I would switch on the dishwasher before taking a bath or going to bed. It was also time to talk while watching TV with my child, so the dishwasher may be useful in that it allows me to secure time for my family.

Benefit 2 of a dishwasher: You can prevent rough hands

In the winter, you always use hot water to wash dishes. Isn't there a lot of moms who say that using hot water makes their hands dry and painful? "You can use gloves, but some people may not be comfortable with rubber gloves." You can also see why a dishwasher that is free from the problem of rough hands is useful.

Benefit 3 of a dishwasher: "Drying function saves time"

Many moms are worried about the dishes being wet. If you have a drying function, you can save yourself the trouble of wiping it yourself, and you can quickly proceed with the housework after that.

Hand washing is fine, but there are many benefits to using a dishwasher!

Just like there are good things about washing your hands, we learned from moms that there are many good things about dishwashers.

You may have some thoughts about dishwashers, such as not being able to place them due to space issues, hand washing is better, or you feel uneasy or troublesome about maintenance. However, by knowing the merits of the dishwasher, you may be able to solve the problems and worries you have now, such as rough hands and the burden of housework.

A convenient and time-saving dishwasher may or may not be used. In order to make a choice that suits each home, why not check the benefits of hand washing and dishwashers?
