Experts Settle the Dishwasher vs. Hand-Washing Debate

The debate between using a dishwasher or hand-washing dishes comes down to water conservation, time, and energy spent. While dishwashers are generally better for the environment, hand-washing is necessary for non-dishwasher-safe items, fragile items, and one-off washing. Dishwashers save water and energy, remove tough stains, but can be costly and should only be used with a full load. Ultimately, the choice depends on the size of the load, the dishwasher model, and personal preferences.
