Got rid of ours after 10 years. My hands were in water and chemicals at work at the salon. Left the salon for a different career and dishwasher was acting up. Hubs helps gather dishes from table and tends to feeding dog and I can get the dishes done in no time with just 2 of us. Water bill has gone down considerably. I wash the dishes by hand in water as hot as I can stand it. I don't miss that dishwasher one bit.
