Do you use a dishwasher or wash dishes by hand? (sh.itjust.works)

Is there a real difference in water and electricity consumption? Personally, I don't use a lot of water to wash my dishes (by hand), but maybe I should install a flow meter to make sure.

What is your opinion on the subject? Do you have any evidence or studies available that could confirm your intuition? Or do you have other alternatives in mind?

You just slide it out, turn off the inline tap, unplug it, plug the new one in, turn the inline tap back on, slide it in, you're good to go. You dont need a professional for this, it's a very basic job.

At least where I live? Maybe the US has weirder dishwashers?

    That's how it is in the US. Sometimes you may have to disconnect and connect things underneath with limited clearance, and usually have to disconnect the drain tube on the sink side. It may be screwed into the countertop. There are leveling feet to adjust. It also may or may not be hard wired. It just takes a few minutes in theory, but tight clearances can make it a pain.
