I love my garbage disposal, but I could come closer to living without it than I could my dishwasher.

See my latest article for tips on maximizing the effectiveness and efficiency of your dishwasher: Dishwasher Tips

The garbage disposal is indeed one handy dandy item, but if it breaks, I can scrape plates into the garbage. That only takes a few seconds!

If my dishwasher breaks, I have to wash all dishes by hand, which takes anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour depending on what I have cooked and/or what has piled up during the day. <img src="/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

Also, the dishwasher assures my dishes are being sanitized. If I want to do that by handwashing, I'll need to do a Clorox soak and then ultra-hot rinse. Sooooo don't want to take that time!

I agree! For this reason alone, I would not want to do without my dishwasher. I wonder if anyone has ever done a study regarding illnesses in a family with a dishwasher vs. without? I guess it would be difficult to conduct but it would be interesting. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

definately the dishwasher! I didn't have either for quite a bit of time and I definately missed them both, but I can't tell you how happy I am not to be handwashing dishes anymore.

Dishwasher hands down! While the disposal is helpful it doesn't even compare to the dishwasher!!!

garbage disposal. i can wash the dishes.. but i can't live without the garbage disposal

It looks like the dishwasher is coming in first and the garbage disposal is second. Three cheers for the dishwasher. <img src="/images/graemlins/music.gif" alt="" />

Dishwasher over garbage disposal! I would much rather take the trash out than wash dishes!

I go for the dishwasher! I can deal with trash even without a grabage disposal.
