My wife has a disposal and I thought I'd like one also. But since we put
a compost bin in he back yard the disposal is used seldom, if at all.

My wife has a dishwasher and I think her dishes come out as clean as
mine. But she seems to spend about as much time, maybe even more,
"prepping" and loading the dishwasher as I spend hand washing my dishes.
I tend to wash my pots and pans as I finish using them and move dirty
dishes straight from the table into the hot soapy water waiting in the
sink. Fifteen minutes, or certainly less than a half hour, after a meal
my pots and pans and dishes are clean and put away.

If I invite people over, it takes longer. But my guests always help with
the chores. Else I won't invite them again. ;^)

Of course, being a Luddite, I'm biased. I enjoy washing dishes. Let me
qualify that .... I enjoy washing MY dishes, so don't get any ideas! ;^)

Got to go now ... I've got dishes to wash.

Dave W.
