My ex was so dead against us getting a dishwasher because he didn’t want to have to plumb it into a house we didn’t own and our landlord wasn’t interested in helping us out.
A month after he moved out, I bought one and it absolutely did change my life.
I also managed to flood my kitchen in the process 🙈
One of my happiest purchases in the last few years was an airfyer. lol
I’m still excited about my subwoofer.
Is your dog your main woofer?
I wish.
For real, thought everyone was overhyping them before I got one but it’s honestly crazy how much of a difference it makes and how convenient it is
@spacedancer @UhBell Airfyers are by far one of the best recent inventions ever made.
Right now I can’t imagine my live without one of them.We almost brought ours on our vacation lol
I don’t have a microwave so I Air fry most leftovers. If I want popcorn I just make it on the stove. If I don’t feel like doing that I guess I didn’t really want it.
God yes! I use it for almost everything
It’s old tech, but pressure cookers are really cool as well.
Fuck, I’d be excited to win almost anything.

Yay America. In Australia all competition winnings (even the lottery) is tax free.
Not too proud to admit I got way too excited when I got my first Dyson. If anyone has animals with long hair, you’ll understand.
My most treasured purchase is an $80 handheld vacuum that pulls all the cat hair from my rug.
My apartment doesn’t even have a connection for a dishwasher but I’d take it
We managed to find a free-standing one with wheels and a nice top that just connects to the sink faucet. It’s been pretty nice so far, might be worth looking around. We found ours 2nd hand for about $150, it was definitely worth it.
Yep was about to suggest this. There are similar setups for all in one washer dryer machines that are similar. I’ve seen tenants in bachelor suites or coin laundry buildings have both of these in a place. Pretty clever for a single person, because they pay very low rent in those types of places.

I do get excited now when going shopping for a moped or a set of bedsheets.
A couple weeks ago our city rolled out their new trash can program (with the trucks that have the side grabber arm thing). I got so excited when the new cans showed up (wheels!) and it was at that point I realized I’m getting old.
Never not had a dishwasher so I do not understand.
Lucky. Much time has been spent in my life washing dishes that I will never get back
As far as I’m concerned I’m not a grown up until I have a washing machine and dishwasher of my own.
Bruh I haven’t eaten in days because I can’t afford meds and food at the same time.
I completely get it. I see Price is Right clips now, or Lets Make a Deal, and losing my mind when they get a dining set. That shits would net me groceries for months.
Or the age where you’re finally excited to get clothes for Christmas.
Lol my dishwasher has been broken for awhile.
I should really get on fixing it.
I’d still rather have the new car.
I get it. I always found a dishwasher too expensive for what I’d gain from it. Doing dishes manually for one or two adults who are diligent about reuse isn’t that much effort. But after being gifted a second hand one in excellent condition, I am very happy to have it in my home. The running cost is very reasonable. I’m unsure if I would replace it if broken. But for now it is serving me very well.
I haven’t used my dishwasher or dryer since I moved in to my trailer. Hand washing dishes and hanging clothes to dry doesn’t take long enough for me to give a shit lol
You must not have a wife that uses every single dish and utensil in arms reach when she cooks lol
I cook and washing utensils isn’t hard?
It’s not, when I cook I tend to wash as I go and I also am mindful about using things as to not create excess work for myself. When my wife cooks, the kitchen looks like a restaurant after a dinner rush and that’s when a dishwasher comes in clutch.
But running a dishwasher (if you already have one and use powder and not tabs) is much cheaper in water heating costs than washing by hand.
I think that’s only true if you’re actually filling the dish washer with dirty dishes. It would take me long enough to fill my dish washer that it would start to stink.
When I was living alone I had something that was called “table dishwasher”. It was a little thing with only one drawer and I filled it roughly every 1-2 days.
An average (read large) dishwasher consumes ~12l of water per cycle. That’s equivalent to letting the tap run for ~30 seconds.
A good dishwasher uses ~0.6kwh/cycle. That’s equivalent to ~10l of hot water. Again, ~30 seconds of tap water.
Tbh I don’t think I run the faucet for 30 seconds to wash dishes for the day. It’s basically just cutting board, knife, a plate, and a bottle. 10 seconds max
I’ll remember that on the rare occasions I cook up food for lots of people, though. That’s definitely more than 30 seconds!
Yeah I live by myself and during the week only cook dinner plus snacks, so it takes me 3+ days to fill it up enough to justify running it and even then it starts it get…iffy.
How do you wash the clothes?
Oh those I machine wash. Fuck using a washboard lol
There are other, more convenient solutions besides a washboard: https://www.amazon.com/manual-washing-machine/s?k=manual+washing+machine
