Does anyone have any experience with one of those countertop dishwashers? I’ve been seriously thinking about getting one in an attempt to whittle down the things my wife can you give me the guilt treatment about

It took a few weeks of me telling my wife to stop wasting water washing the dishes before she put them in the dishwasher, but she finally came round and saw how unnecessary it is to wash the dishes twice (once by hand and once in the dishwasher).
You are a smoother talker than I am.

... my tap water is hard water and even with the filter button turned on it leaves white spots on the glasses. It doesn't matter how much I clean them and rinse them it always dries with these spots which is like a pet peeve of mine.
Have you tried very hot (60°) water? I've found using that and then letting them dry upside down on a rack usually takes care of the spot problem. They're so hot they dry pretty quick as well.
Great idea! My water heater panel does seem to go up to 60 so it's worth a shot. But how do you keep from getting scalded in the process of washing the dishes?

omg... this is getting way too complicated! I think I'll pin my hopes on the dishwasher and make the leap.
