Does The Dishwasher Use A Lot Of Water?
A dishwasher takes around 40-60 minutes to wash a dish, and many people think, how much water is that going to waste if it takes that long?
In fact, the dishwasher does not use as much water as we think, it does not always feed water when it is working, but rather feeds water in several cycles.
Some people have done a survey, the amount of water used to wash a bowl in a dishwasher is about 10 liters, while it takes about 15 liters of water to wash a pool of bowls with running water, so the dishwasher does not consume water, but is more water efficient than washing by hand.

The average power consumption of a dishwasher is about 1 degree Celsius, which is just a few cents, and to think we usually have to burn gas to wash dishes with hot water!
