The first dishwasher I recall my mother having was a top loading one.
That would have been in the 1960's. It was "portable", aka on wheels.
It had to be hooked up to the kitchen faucet. Truly, it seemed like
more trouble than it was worth.

I'll pass on the top loading dishwasher. I will, however, take the
fancy dinner dress her guest is wearing.

The guest says to Bette, I'd better scrape these, they have eggs on
them. Oh no, you needn't bother! The dishwasher takes care of that.

Sounds like they had breakfast for dinner. Hmmm, that sounds like a
plan. Bacon, scrambled eggs, toast...

My first dishwasher was a portable roll and hook to the kitchen faucet. At
the time I loved it because it had a butcher block top, so it gave me extra
*counter* space in the very small kitchen. I do prefer the built in kind
100% better though.

Growing up, I think I only knew one family that had a dishwasher,
my best friend's mother had a portable machine. She must have
really wanted it because that was one tiny kitchen. Of course,
she was a working mom with four kids.

Too bad my mother didn't feel the same, but then, she had
me to do the dishes. Who needs a machine?

Seriously, it just wasn't common in those days, now it's an
expected appliance.

I know exactly how you felt. We'd ask our mother when we were getting
a dishwasher and she'd say she already had two.

It's much easier on dishes and glassware. My breakage numbers go way
up if my dishwasher is out of commission.

Most (if not all) of the people are dead now, so no, we'll never really
know. I wonder what Miss Davis got paid for doing that ad? That's
something else we'll likely never know.

It's a pretty good bet that she did. A lot of actresses' bread and
butter is commercial work. My sister in law was an actress and model
and did a lot more commercial work than movies or TV. Back in the early
70s she could get about $500 for a few hours work on a commercial, a
lot more than most people made in a week. The problem was that she
spent a lot more time looking for work and auditioning than working.

That was my sons job. To this day, he refuses to unload their dishwasher.

Same here when they were smaller, very close in age, it was a lot of work.

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.

My dishwasher bit the dust a little while back and I was handwashing
all the dishes for a week or two. Not the end of the world but
it just never ends, it seems like, I was doing dishes all the time.

Yes, I'm spoiled.

Forget doing that on vacation. Hope you had a great vacation anyway.
Heh. Like doing dishes would ruin it.

My mother never did get one and the only way that place winds up
with one is when the kitchen is remodeled. By someone else.

It's my least favourite chore. I don't mind loading the dishwasher but
I dislike unloading it. I'll hand-wash dishes for a week before I'll
empty the dishwasher.

When I do the kitchen cleanup or when my wife goes away I don't use the
dishwasher. It is easier to just do the dishes by hand. I think is is a
lot easier that loading and unloading the dishwasher. I have to wash the
pots and pans anyway, and it isn't much more work to do a few dishes
with them.

Seems counter-intuitive, but the new energy star machines can take up to
4 hours. Mine does have a 1 hour cycle though, but it uses more energy.
Most times we hit the start button later in the evening so time is of
no concern.

IMO the bloody things are more work than they purport to reduce.
We had one at home when I was a kid, I thought they were a PITA... I
could hand wash quicker. I've had a couple of dishwashers in places
I've rented in years gone by, and never once used them. YMMV...

I'm not really sure, but I think it might have been a Hotpoint, harvest gold
colored. It served me well for many years and did a good job with the
dishes.

Yes, I hear you. I don't like to unload the dishwasher, or dry dishes for
that matter, but I don't mind loading it or washing dishes at all.

That is exactly how I feel about it. By the time you load it and unload
it, you could have just washed them and put them on a rack to die. They
may be handy for cleaning up after a crowd, but for one or two
people.... so them by hand.

I had a dishwasher for years but it hardly got used so fairly recently I
took it out and replaced it with an 'under the counter' freezer. It
supplements the big chest freezer and it is much handier

The older we get, the funnier the typos. Yeah, put the dishes in the
rack to die. That'll teach 'em!

Just two of us. We run it about ever other day. More efficient, more
sanitary, no standing and washing, no drying. Never cared to wash dishes
when a machine can do it for me. .

As he mentions occasional some kind of law enforcement, I'm curious. I
even asked him flat out once but he ignored me. Maybe a mall cop,
maybe a game warden, maybe a Mountie. I just find it funny that he
won't tell. What's the big deal?

I'm wondering what the big deal is about what he does. Personally, I
don't give a rats!

Hey, Jill, I have a laundry chute because I wanted one...we built this house
in 1969. My laundry room is in the lower level, and bedrooms in the
upper level. I was used to having a chute because the vintage houses
I grew up in had them. My parents had one put in the house they built
in 1954.

Warning: never put a ferret in a laundry chute.

Ditto. Dishes, etc. seem to accumulate through the day, I think
it's a waste of water and soap to keep after them. Even just
running the tap till the water is hot enough, waste of water.

The dishes just go into the machine, out of sight, fire up old
sparky every couple of days and it's done.

Same here. Mine usually says 2:43 for some reason, but it's not
as if I care. I do have the one hour option. I run it in the
middle of the night, it's quiet and it doesn't matter how long
it takes.

It isn't, he's talked about it any number of times. If he
cares to mention it again, that's his prerogative, of course.

Definitely, it's been proven however many times. And if you're ever
in a drought situation, they will ask people to Please use
your dishwasher.

Perhaps he exaggerates.

Why, would it crap the socks and undies going down?
