| Do you own a dishwasher? Do you use it? How often? Do you use powder/liquid/tabs?

| Yes, I own a dishwasher. I have a tall tub variety and stainless steel inside, it fits a LOT of dishes and does a great job at washing! My mom gave it to me as a Christmas gift 2 years ago, and I joke that I think about my mom at least least 3 times each day, each time I put the dishes in it! LOL We run our machine once every 1.5 - 2 days and I use the tabs with powder and liquid detergent. |

| I do, but NEVER use it... it broke about 5 years ago, and have never got it replaced! _________________ Happy Scrappin' Helen

| I have a portable dishwasher. We have a small one in our counter top but it holds about 4 plates. Our portable one is much bigger. I run it at least once a day and I use liquid detergent. |

| Yes I use it daily or every other day. I use the liquid tabs because the powder ones are always caught in the little drop down container. |

| We have one, but we try to wash most of the dishes. I might use it once every couple of days.
I use the liquid detergent. _________________ CARLA My BLOG - The Pursuit of Scrappyness Cooking With Carla  |

| Yes, I have a built in and use it every other day. I use liquid soap as the salesman explained that the tabs don't really dissolve fast enough to do a good job. (not sure he is right there though) and I always use Jet Dry as well. |

| I have a dishwasher and it runs almost daily. I use the Finish Quantum tabs, or the Cascade gel packs.
After seeing the gunk buildup from the liquid that was in my last dishwasher and ultimately helped lead it to its demise I said I wouldn't use liquid again. Not sure the tabs/packs are a better option though. Since I have found bits of 'plastic' type stuff that I think is remnants of the tabs encasing that didn't dissolve. So who knows. |

| I couldn't live WITHOUT my dishwasher!!! I absolutely HATE doing dishes!!! It's all I can do to force myself to put them IN the dishwasher! LOL! If it doesn't fit, it gets water and soap and waits for the next load. Sorry if that grosses some out but when I was little my parents MADE me wash dishes every night until I was 11. My two younger brothers never had to do them! So when I was 11 and we moved to the house where they still live and there was a dishwasher, I totally went on strike and refused to do them anymore!!! LOL! True story! |

| I have a portable. I run it every other or every 3rd day. I was using powder but was finding it irritating my airways so I tried the cascade tabs. Funny but they are actaully worse for the breathing. I'm just getting to the end of those and bought some finish tabs or whatever they are. Perhaps I'll try liquid the next time. |

| YES! If we didn't have one, it would be paper plates here!! The first thing I bought when I went to work was one of those portable ones... then a dryer... then the washer... so you can see what I hated to do the most!!
We run it when it's full... every few days and I use Finish... best one I've ever tried... in the powder form. |
