I've never had one - are they worth the space?A fucking dishwasher

Definitely. There'd be constant conflict in our house without one.

I'm at work all day, pick up the girl, do bath, bedtime, make my tea, then have to stand and wash up. I'd love a machine to do it for me and let me sit down for a bit.

Washing machines, dishwashers and hoovers are the only truly essential household appliances.

Definitely. Apart from the cost of buying them, they are cheap to run and apparently more efficient in water/energy use than washing up in a sink. Great if you work long hours as you just chuck the mucky stuff in and run it whenever its full.
Agree with the first two, but I'm not convinced that a hoover is essential. Or at least as far as my frequency of hoovering is concerned.

is there anywhere you could squeeze a tiny one into? are they expensive? I've never looked...A fucking dishwasher

I don't like /tolerate dust - and its my son's job to actually hoover.Agree with the first two, but I'm not convinced that a hoover is essential. Or at least as far as my frequency of hoovering is concerned.

No. It takes as long to load and unload the fuckers as it would to simply wash the pots, and half the stuff you put in a dishwasher won't even get cleaned properly.

Fair enough. I loathe hoovering so do it as seldom as possible. A dustpan and brush is enough for most things (all hard flooring here).
Don't think I could live without washing machine. Vacuum cleaner slightly optional...but dog just going into moult so this position will change (again) very soon. Dishwasher - why else have a spouse?
Thinking about it - we do split washing jobs right down the line - I do the laundry, he does the washing up.
I suspect if we did have a dishwasher, it would basically end up as another (less accessible) kitchen stuff storage cupboard...unlike the easily accessed draining board.

It takes no time at all to load and unload. If you load the machine properly everything comes out sparkly clean - at least with the dishwasher that I've got.

when you're clearing up after several it makes a massive difference in my recent experience. i've never had one but seriously considering it now...

You won't regret it - they're a godsend.
The machine I've got is a half-size one, and on average I run a couple of loads a week (I live by myself though). I guess if you've got several people in a house then a full-sized one would be better if you've got room.

This is going to make me sound mad, but go and look at one and take one of your dinner plate and a saucepan you usually use. The half sized ones have different set ups internally and some you can't get big plates in, or the saucepans go in at a weird angle and mean you can't get anything else in. The same size experiment doesn't have the same size interior.
This is lesson I learned in practice

The one I've got is 445mm wide if that helps.

certainly nothing doing now. need to purge the cupboards before i can see if i could steal any space. which will take a while

This is not remotely mad, this is entirely and absolutely sensible. I'd advise doing it for normal-sized machines also. We have some plates a bit too wide to stand up straight.This is going to make me sound mad, but go and look at one and take one of your dinner plate and a saucepan you usually use.

Yes, if that works as justification for you, but seriously, they are just the poodle's plums and I hope I never have to live without one.
