I can completely relate to this article. As many members here are aware I’ve not used my DW since April 2018 when just before the 1 year warranty was up and it conked out.
I had to wait almost 3 weeks for the warranty repair to be completed. During that time I realized how liberating it was to just do the dishes by hand and have the task over with in 10 minutes, rather than have to wait for almost 2 hours for the DW cycle to be complete and then have to either haul my ass into the kitchen, interrupting whatever TV show I may have been watching, to put the dishes away, often having to wash one or two items by hand anyway that didn’t get completely clean. Or wait until the next morning, when the last thing I wanted to do was unload the DW.
I also found that I always had every pot, pan, bowl and utensil available for use at a moments notice and didn’t have to fish a crusty pan I needed outta the DW to wash it by hand anyway.
Plus I learned that the hands on task of washing the dishes was strangely calming, which in these last few years of strife and upheaval was a welcome benefit.
I now use the DW to store things I don’t often use or need.
It works for me.

Not surprised. Nobody is going to do the exact same thing twice. Especially when the second round of washing gobbles up 4 hours of time.
