People with not enough money for a dishwasher have no option.
Or not enough dirty dishes to warrant one. Or not enough room in their horrid little kitchens to accommodate one. I will wash stuff by hand if the dishwasher is on, or has clean stuff in that I haven't got round to putting away.

All i need now is an automatic ironing machine.

I get around that problem by not doing any ironing
hanging clothes up is nature's ironing

Yes, I also do the natures ironing thing
but some things still need to have a cheeky once over. We have an old fashion pulley in the kitchen that i can get about 2 loads of washing on if I 'Tetris' it on properly. Hang everything up, then blast the 4 gas hobs on for 5 mins, gets everything drying a treat.

I don't have enough dirty dishes to warrant one. I have a lovely big kitchen, but I don't cook that much
My ex flatmate was terrible for leaving stuff in his dishwasher until it went mouldy and would then just wash it again. The dishwasher eventually died from mould overload.

I've only done that once
it was pretty grim, even though there weren't many dishes in there.

we tend to use the dishwasher every couples of days, which means that we do less washing up than if we didn't have one. which saves money, and effort.

He did it pretty much every time. I stopped using it because it was so disgusting and just washed everything I used by hand.
Much faster and I could be sure that it was free of fungi

a wise decision
I couldn't live without mine though. There aren't many household chores that I hate, but washing up is one of them.

The only thing that comes close is hanging up washing.
