naturally more water is used than either handwashing or machine washing alone.

Depending on the age of your dishwasher and the cycle you select, often pots and pans will not get fully clean in a dishwasher.

I always just select the normal load, although there' a sensor choice as well as heavy.

I will repeat, because this actually matters, even when I'm trying conscientiously to do a good job of hand washing, I am apparently not very good at it. After I got this dishwasher about a year ago, I ran all of my "clean" in the cupboard dishes through it and was genuinely astonished at how clean they were. Vastly cleaner than they'd been in quite a while.

Again, my failure at hand washing.
