Does it save more water if you use a dish washer?

Does a dish washer uses up more water or less than conventional hand wash?

Answer #1

Too many variables to say for certain. You have to factor in whether or not the dishwasher is one of the newer ones that use less water, or if you use running water to rinse your dishes, or if you have to rinse your dishes before putting them into the dishwasher … etc.

Answer #2

The answer depends on the type of dishwasher that you have.

Modern dishwasher actually use less water than conventional hand-washing, on condition that you use a full load.

They are very efficient with regard to electricity usage too.
