Do you do dishes by hand, or use a dishwasher?

I have a dishwasher, but sometimes it's just easier to do them in the sink and be done with it....

    I prefer not to do the dishes at all, but if I have to then I prefer to do them by hand and use the dishwasher as a drainer for the dishes, because a dishwasher can never get all of the baked on dirt off of the dishes

    I have washed by hand since our dishwasher broke 2 and a half years ago, and my kids do their share. It's actually not too big a deal...though 4 months ago I sliced my finger open when washing a glass baking dish which broke, and needed 10 stitches. : ( Oh well, I probably would have been washing that by hand, anyway!

    We wash by hand because there is only 2 of us, but if there's a party or guests then use the dishwasher.

    I did them by hand for 25 years, until March of this year, now I have a dishwasher, and I love it.

Or on each occasion we've potential out or another reason to do all of it via hand. oftentimes whilst we've acquaintances for dinner we women do the bathing up jointly afterwards. :)

    Wash by hand... no dishwasher. And it's easier just to do them and get them over with!

    For large jobs, I use a dishwasher....the newer ones use less water and electric than draining the water heater.

    For one or two pans from spagetti dinner I'll just use the sink.
