    How? Washing dishes under the tap uses exactly 0 electricity. How does using a dishwasher use less electricity than that?

    I like to hear your explanation for that

      They said water not electricity. And unless you’re using cold water it takes electricity to heat water usually.

        Right, because the water just moves on its own because you ask it nicely.

        And no dishwasher ever used hot water 🙄

          Dishwashers generally use cold water hand heats it to the required temperature inside the machine for the cleaning cycle, then uses cold water for rinse cycle. Imagine it like washing 15+ plates and cutlery under the tap, but at the same time. A fully loaded dishwasher will always be more efficient than doing the same amount of dishes manually.
