After reading the last few posts, I have to wonder what the point of a large single sink is?

If it's not being used to wash dishes once in a while then what is it being used for?

Soaking/washing larger items that can't fit or don't go into dishwasher. Cookie baking sheets, turkey roaster, large electric griddle. Filling/washing mop bucket.

The whole point of having a divided sink was to have a rinse sink when doing dishes. We don't use it to wash regular dishes so we personally find it redundant to have two small sinks when we often need one larger sink.

Good points but the last few posters still say that their big sink isn't used for washing dishes. Trends then for some?

Dishwasher broke? Get in the car we've got to replace it before the sun goes down.

My dishwasher broke in July. I eat out a lot more often now.

I use my dishwasher as a drawer for my frying pans and lids I hand wash and dry everything cause it's just faster.

Girlfriend hates that I want to hand wash everything, hates even more that our washer takes like 5 hours to do a load. How is that normal!?!?!

I'll let you wash up after one of our 3 course dinners for 6 and you can let me know if it's faster than a dishwasher.
As for saving water:

Save energy and water.

Thought you were efficient? A new ENERGY STAR certified dishwasher uses less than half as much energy as washing dishes by hand and saves nearly 5,000 gallons of water a year!

Yeah a newer dishwasher uses only 4 gallons per cycle.

There is absolutely NO way that hand washing is faster. Unless of course your idea of cooking dinner is taking something out of a box from the freezer and putting it into the microwave.

My Bosch uses 2.5 gallons per cycle.

[suntan]

Yeah the 4 gallons is max allowed. Can be less.

When I was living alone I would wash my dishes often as it would take a week to fill the dishwasher and I obviously didn't want the smell. But with a family of 4 we run it almost daily and we simply don't have time to do dishes.

So it isn't that people can't, but many simply don't have time. And as was mentioned above, dishwashers use less water so we can feel good about ourselves for helping the environment lol

Plus the heat of the dishwasher seems way more sanitary to me then washing in the sink.

A plate, a knife and fork, a saucepan with a lid, a glass, a chefs knife and a cutting board. Would take me a whole week to fill my washer and I'd be out of plates and cutlery by then.
