Give me a number. I use 6-8 L of water no matter how many dishes I have. From what I read, that’s about in line with the most efficient dishwashers.
You did say earlier that you cook once a day, meal for two. When I do that, all dishes for the day take a third of the maximum load on my machine, so I could wash once every three days, therefore averaging like 3 L per day tops? You handwashing every day are spending 6-8L daily which is more than double.
If it is true that you can spend <8L for an arbitrarily large amount of dishes, though, then I guess there must be an amount of dishes that you will outperform a dishwasher. They cannot handle an infinite amount of dirt, unfortunately. If you hand wash every 7 days you will be averaging less than 1L a day which really does sound unbeatable.
I really don’t understand why people get so aggressive when talking about their dishwashers.
One of many of life’s mysteries, such as why people get defensive about their water usage due to handwashing.
Only I wasn’t, and I didn’t insult you. But I have no more interest in discoursing with you.
