It's so crazy about the washing dishes by hand that some people do even with dishwashers...I experienced having to do this in 2014 when I had to wait like 3 weeks for my Maytag dishwasher to get here... then had to find someone to install it...all that time I had to do dishes by hand... and while you think that doesn't seem like a difficult chore... it was freaking annoying... Maybe I just don't have the right setup... but what I found most annoying is anytime I dish went in the sink, be it a dirty spoon, a glass, etc... whereas I would normally just put it in the dishwasher... It was just sitting there, in the sink, bugging me...so I'd have to wash those...then a few hours later... same... I just find not having a dishwasher to be a total TOTAL pain. Now, if you had meal dishes getting washed all at once..that might be different... but when you have a scattering of dirty dishes being put into the sink throughout the day... such a pain
don't think for a second I wouldn't risk getting a dishwasher with a potentially faulty board vs not having one at all. I mean, even if I were desperate, I'd take one of the most cheap BOL dishwashers over not having one at all...I will die on that hill
