I just got my first ever dishwasher and it's a game changer.
It doesnt really save anytime in my experience. You can’t just throw stuff in there covered in food or it will just dry up and cement itself to the dishes/silverware in the day or two until it’s next time to run a cycle. I guess if you have a family and are running it every night, it might let you skip the initial rinse off but idk.
It took me years of living on my own to learn my parents were doing it wrong:
The dishwasher doesn't need to be full to run it. You can chuck everything in after a meal and start it immediately.
Detergent and water are cheap, and even if it's only a few dishes the machine uses less water than doing them by hand. Also, use liquid or powder detergent and make sure to fill the pre-wash detergent holder -- detergent pods are a rip off.
