Kerr Avonsen (she/her)I once calculated the amount of energy taken by the "fast, high energy" wash cycle in my dishwasher, and by the "slow, eco-wash, low energy" cycle.
Guess which one used more energy?
The eco-wash did. Because, while it may have a lower kilowatts-per-hour rate, over the longer period, it used more total kilowatts.
So I feel absolutely guilt-free when I use the fast wash cycle.
