I'll admit it. I have a love-hate relationship with my dishwasher. I grew up with one in suburbia, but for years I washed dishes by hand in my small apartment's small sink. I don't know if I actually used less water, but it seemed so, and I felt better doing it. Besides, the hot bleachy aroma of the wash cycle and the preternaturally squeaky-clean dishes afterwards had always freaked me out. Good riddance to automatic washing and rinsing!
