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?

Can you explain the second one? Do you alternate them between dirty and clean like some kind of extra cupboard or is there more to it?

    We run 2-5 loads of dishes a day as we do a ton of cooking at home. With a single dishwasher we'd have to immediately unload and load the next batch or we wouldn't be able to keep up and it was exhausting. With two we can keep up with the dishes a lot better. It's awesome to have another dishwasher available to put the dirty dishes in when the other is running. And when we host stuff at our house it's awesome to be able to wash everything at once.
