Well proven they use less water and little electricity. Not only that,
dishes are sanitized to 150 degrees so less colds in the house too.

Have enough cabinet space. More space would end up more crap I don't
need.

Is it better to use the dishwasher or hand wash?
When it comes to cleaning dishes, there's no contest: Hand washing uses
far more water, even if you're not filling up the dishwasher. ... In
other words, hand washing used 5 times as much water as an efficient
dishwasher, and 3.5 times more water as an average dishwasher.

What does sanitize on a dishwasher mean?
Dishwasher sanitize cycles use hotter water and longer wash times to
kill 99.999% of food soil bacteria. They're required by the National
Sanitation Foundation to heat water to a minimum of 150°F, although some
dishwashers may go above that.

Your family deserves clean dishes and it is good for the environment.
