I was the dishwasher when I was a kid. I feel like dishwashers don't save any time.
I spend an hour or so every day loading and unloading the dishwasher, plus whatever pots/pans don't fit. Seems I could just wash all those dishes in that hour.
Mine is decent. A cycle takes about 90 minutes though.
I switched to powder after watching this video; but mostly because a box of it is $5 at Walmart
