Is there a real difference in water and electricity consumption? Personally, I don’t use a lot of water to wash my dishes (by hand), but maybe I should install a flow meter to make sure.

What is your opinion on the subject? Do you have any evidence or studies available that could confirm your intuition? Or do you have other alternatives in mind?

    The house we bought a few years ago had a dishwasher. It doesn’t work.

    We’d like to replace it but we asked the shop guys if they can help with that they told us they don’t have any local contacts who do dishwasher installs.

    We’ve never used one before, but with two little kids it feels like hand washing is getting a bit much sometimes.

      You just slide it out, turn off the inline tap, unplug it, plug the new one in, turn the inline tap back on, slide it in, you’re good to go. You dont need a professional for this, it’s a very basic job.

      At least where I live? Maybe the US has weirder dishwashers?
