Re: Dishwashers...
actually C4/ LuLu don't fit - they are fitted by the distributor of the product -- so it really is Scamp says, same shit, same toilet.

Re: Dishwashers...
If you have a dishwasher, your dewa bill will go up as it uses far more water than washing dishes by hand. It's only more efficient if you do genuinely have loads of dishes and pots and pans (say, from cooking meals for a family of four 2-3 times a day).
But for one or two people it's a waste of time and money. You'll end up stacking the dishes into the dishwasher for a few days before running it. How do you cook? A full meal each and every night? Or a big pot of something and have the leftovers for the next three or so nights? When I cook it takes, what, 10-15 minutes at most to thoroughly wash the dishes and pots.

Nice try. Not happening. Live alone.. hmm ;););) I cook proper meals every night, so washing up gets generated. If you don't do it one night then there is a pile the next. Dishwashe was my job at Mums, along with the bins. I don't mind loading and unloading. There is never any real need to rinse them first - only if there is still loads of crap on them. Gotta love a BG meme. :thumbup: |

Carrefour fitted ours too. Several months later Mrs DB got a helluva jolt from the metal door.

The whole machine was then live and waiting for a suitable victim.....absolute idiots and would never trust them again.
No long term harm tho....I bought her some fairy liquid! DB |

Sometimes simple like last night's Chilli Con Helmet...generates a couple of big bowls for eating, forks, big pan, chopping board, knife, glasses, spoons, bowl for home made guac. Not too much, but enough. I don't deny that it's pure laziness. I bought double cutlery and plates/bowls ready for this eventuality. :thumbsup: |
Re: Dishwashers...
Personally I think they're brilliant, load everything in as you finish whatever you're doing then when it's full switch it on.
As the meerkat says, "Simples". |

Oh dear, you've just entered Man Club territory. Unarmed.
Some people have the will and desire to do these tasks. I don't. I'll either cock it up by rushing into it or just get bored...let someone else do it.

Stupid, pretentious machines. Could never see the point of them. Like those television thingies - they will never catch on.
