I haven't dried a dish with a towel since I was a kid and my mother
insisted that I dry the dishes after I washed them. What a sloppy
mess. Whatever dishes I wash by hand sit in the drainer until I
put them away, having dried on their own. And pretty fast, too,
since I use pretty hot tap water.

I can't really get behind this dishwasher as home heating device
unless you live in a one room studio.
