But beware of rinse aid -we used it in our Indeseit (DE73/DE63) and they had to come and replace the motor - twice) they said it was the rinse aid getting into the motor but we actually stopped using that and the motor has gone again (3rd time in 3 years) unfortunately this time it is not insured so we are beign stung for around £170

Actaully, you can, by using a dishwasher!
Normally the dishes come out cleaner, more hygenically, using less water and energy when washed in a dishwasher than washing by hand! And when factoring in time spent washing up etc ther's no contest - a dishwasher wins hands down (not in the bowl!) every time!
So your'e trying to tell me that your dish washer uses less than a half a washing up bowl of water and less energy. The only energy we use is in pysical activity doing the washing up and it only takes 10 minutes a day. It probably takes you that to load and unload the washer, polish the glasses and wipe the smears off your plates. Not to mention cleaning the filters etc etc.
I bet it doesn't cost less financially. £2.00 for wasing up bowl, 69p every 8 weeks for liquid.
If you want to tell me that your day is sooo busy you cant find 10 minutes I'd tell you I could smell b*llSh*t.Never believed in them, never will.
At least I can still do mine in a power cut.
I was in domestic appliance development for 20+ years, I didn't beleive in them or have one (& all my appliances were free & changed every year). I left the company built a new kitchen & yes bought a dishwasher.
I was converted.
I have just bought another one (performance does not appear as good as the first).
You need plenty of dishes, but as already said a lot more hygienic.

A dishwasher will use around 15 litres to water to wash, rinse and dry 12 full place settings of crockery, cutlery,glasses etc. If you can wash/rinse and dry that lot PROPERLY in 1 bowl of HOT water (by which I mean 7.5 l, at least 55°C) in the 10 mins you reckon it takes then you must be the world's No 1 washer up!
Figures based on research recording how people actually washed up, how much water they used and how clean the result was .
(PS -I think you forgot the energy required to heat the hot water for your bowl of washing up - unless you're washing up in cold?
)And the machine heats the water required, no need to draw water off to get hot..My house takes about 3 gallons to get a pint of hot..Then all the water left in the pipe (all nice & hot) goes cold, next time you need water 3 gallons wasted again.
