Mașina de spălat vase consumă mai puțină apă decât spălatul la chiuvetă? Ce variantă e mai economică • Newsweek România

Modern dishwashers are more water-efficient than hand washing, using about 9 liters for 15 sets compared to 20 liters manually. Tests show hand washing can consume up to 63 liters for 14 sets, while dishwashers use significantly less, especially on Eco settings. The energy cost is also lower with dishwashers due to less hot water needed. However, for small loads, hand washing may be cheaper if done efficiently. The European Commission advises using Eco programs and running the dishwasher only when full for maximum savings.
