One of the most enviroment unfriendly pieces of completely unesscessary equipment there is .Using lots of electricity and gallons of hot water just to wash a few dishes that take less than 5 minutes by hand .
 GO GREEN , think of your fellow humans and of your childrens children . Just pay someone 20 baht a day to wash them if you think the work is to hard

 

 

I am thinking of my fellow humans as it is more environmentally friendly according to the trusted Guardian unless you prefer the unhygenic option of washing in cold water. I dont and this is one of my main drivers behind the purchase, hygene for my family, my children.

As its more green and efficient, I hope I tick your box of being GREEN, and thinking of my fellow humans and my childrens children.

 

Granted some Thai person will not benefit from 20baht per day wages, but we cant have everything can we? Perhaps extra dishwasher sales and expensive detergent plus the inevitable maintenance fee will boost the economy and mske its way to investors and also workers in Thailand to offset the workers 20baht per day wages? ?

Oooh I just read the article, disproving my lazy persons today. Sorry couldnt resist as this is such an engaging topic. I never knew it would be when I just asked where to buy one.

 

Anyways, I digress. The 400 times more bacteria left on those dishes after hand washing vs the machine has made me think I should indeed buy 2 dishwashers as suggested above. After all what if my dishwasher breaks down? I will be left with either very unclean plates or having to be very UNGREEN using lots of hot water to get them clean. ?

In Thailand the only major appliance more frivolous than a dishwashing machine is a clothes dryer.

Not if your running a laundry buisness they are invaluable. Especially now in the rainy season.

We went to Homepro to buy some garden shears and ended up bringing home a Siemens dishwasher!

 

Lovely to have properly clean plates again after so long being away from civilisation.

Has to be a case of serious impulse buying addiction

Hope you remembered to get the shears too.

The dishwasher was half price (ex-display) and the shears they had were rubbish, so no, I didn't get them.

as a single male who likes to entertain at home then yes a dish washer is good but a maried man? now wifey will spend even more time watching the idiot box.

 

cracks me up. western men want a thai wife because they are different and then do their best to turn them into a western wife

[stament]

who says I want to turn my wife into a western wife? I see her as my wife fullstop. We had a dishwasher in England and made good use of it so I cant see how I am changing anything there.

 

If something else seems like a good idea then I will do that too - medical insurance lets say.

 

Live and let live I say.

Admittedly, if you're running a laundry business, you DO need a clothes dryer.  And that's exactly why a private individual doesn't need one.  Most clothing will hang dry just fine, but sometimes it's nice to have a laundry lady with a heated dryer do your sheets and towels during rainy season.  Or find a coin op heated dryer.  There's one in our building.   No need to invest in one for yourself.

Have right?  I have two machine one is in my house the other had a coin box outside for the public to use. Sure one would think frivolous because you have one things advantage in Thailand the sun.  But there are times you need to get a comforter dry, or clothes right away it comes in handy. 

 

The big problem,  majority of them are made and sold by companies like Whirlpool,  at stores like NamChai,  once they break down takes a while for them to get fix since parts are ordered from overseas.  Both of mines are broken from overuse lucky I'm back home in the States and I got a kit from Sears to make the repairs when I return. The best usage is I like my T-shirt neck line tight and not stretch out like they been beaten on a rock.  Putting my laundry out and when they are 95% dry I throw everything into the dryer and fluff the wrinkles out in 5 minutes, no iron.

How much did you pay for your dish washer Paul?

Good piece of bargain buying, too good to pass up.

Now waiting for an OP " Where to get a good pair of Shears?" and let the vitriol begin.

Private individuals could easily justify having a dryer. Hangin clothed out at the moment can take 3 days to dry them with the humidity caused by the rainy season. But luckily most thai's would not be able to afford one so it keeps our side line  buisness thriving. But back on topic  I asked mrs if she wanted a dish washer!!! After she finished laughing some 2 days latter I had my answer. Oh by the way washing up in cold water gets the plates and pans spotless and non greasy. No need to have hot water for that.

Yes you are probably right but i am sure when i wash my plates in cold water they are clean. I have or my family have not been sick because of this in 9 years in thailand .
To much sanitation esp in childeren makes them more unused to bacteria and with detergents , anti bacterial soap bleach etc means that children do not have contact with bacteria and therefore are more likely to be sick .I grew up as  a grubby kid eating jam sandwiches etc with dirty hands and od not ever remember being sick.
 My friend bought a dishwasher which took a pile of dishes and an hour to wash them . He then had to but more dishes so he would only have to use it every few days ?

hmmmm ?. now do I believe you or the scientists ?

[stament]

Now I just need to get the tablets, salt and rinse aid. Any fellow frivolous folk out there who have a dishwasher know where the cheapest place to buy this stuff is? Makro or Homepro?

 

 

[Bill97]

OK you folks with clothes dryers and dishwashers, where is the best place to buy a new Audi or do you all drive Benz and Rolls?

[balo]

I wash the dishes myself , it takes me 5 minutes , a dishwasher is a waste of money and it takes up too much space, especially if you live in a small condo . Most Thais would think of it as a unnecessary investment.    

 

But then again , most Thais do not even have a standard western kitchen.

[stament]

I have an enormous kitchen so I need to fill it with something otherwise it looks empty.  Not interested what Thais think otherwise I would never do anything I enjoy.

 

I like to live life the way I want to and encourage others including Thais to do what makes them happy without worrying what English people think or don't think (Yes I am English hence the example).

 

Good on you for doing the dishes. I have done it many times but prefer a dishwasher, personal preference, no harm in that, in fact I encourage it. It would be very boring if we were all the same.

From a 2014 post, but might still have some relevance, maybe PM Greenside to see if they were successful, and ignore naysayers with too much time on their hands.

You'll need a dishwasher (or maid) for the aftermath of the housewarming party.

Sure agree side is a cracking fellow. I will have to be very careful who I invite as some folk might take offence to me having a dishwasher in my house.
