As a family of 2 (and a half 🐣), we basically run it every single day since we moved in. Here's what that actually looks like in numbers.
The reality before
This used to be our sink after every meal — pots, pans, ladles, containers, all piled up. With a baby in the house, everything needs to be properly cleaned, every single time. Something had to give.
The numbers
After 260 days, our dishwasher stats show 41.3 kWh and 304L of water used per month. That works out to roughly $12 a month combined — for a family running it nearly every day, that's genuinely nothing.
The maths nobody talks about
244 washes in 260 days. Assuming even just 10 minutes per wash by hand, that's over 40 hours. Almost 2 full days we didn't spend standing at the sink. With a baby, that time adds up in ways you don't fully appreciate until it's gone.
The features that actually matter
There's a Hygiene+ mode — an extended high-temperature cycle that deep cleans everything including baby bottles and cutting boards. Plus ExtraDry for glasses and plasticware. My asian mum would approve. 😂
Does it actually clean?
Burnt-on residue, grease, spice stains — yes, it handles all of it. The before and after on our pans honestly still surprises me.
Honestly the best appliance we've bought for our new place. The time savings alone make it worth every cent.
