I think it depends on how many people live at a place. I live alone and would never be able to fill up a dishwasher, using a lot more water for a few dishes than I would.
Buy more dishes so you can go longer between washes
Buy a half-height dishwasher. They exist, I owned one that lived on the floor of my bathroom.
I live alone and I fill up my full size dishwashers every few days. If you don’t eat ordered/preprocessed food you can also just chuck pots and pans in the bottom rack.
Dishwashers use a lot less water than hand-washing. Even if there’s a little bit of room left, it’s still a net positive. There’s no reason for anyone to hand-wash unless they live in a tiny NYC broom closet or exclusively eat take-out in disposable containers.
Tbf I should have added that I don’t have the space anyway, I might have considered it if I had. I live in a small flat in europe, so probably what you would consider a NYC broom closet.
I have Bob, the mini dishwasher, perfectly sized for that use case. Now, the fact that it is designed to use proprietary washing cartridges on the other hand… (At around 5 to 10 price of regular washing powder too. Thankfully mine is old enough to not notice you opened the door if you’re fast enough)
Dishwashers use much less water.
They also corrupt the soul.
Just like electricity and indoor plumbing lol
thats the soap pod companies

You can also fill up the dishwasher over the course of a couple of days. Makes things even more convenient.
