Even if you live alone it's a nice feature. A few weeks ago I was on
vacation and had a condo with a dishwasher but I forgot dishwasher
detergent at the grocery store when I got there. I bought liquid for
handwashing, so rather than make an additional trip I just washed
everything by hand for the week. Not so bad for a week, but I'm too
spoiled by it to do that all the time.

I can't remember when our family got our first dishwasher so I must have
been young, but I remember when we got a microwave oven.
