      According to my brief googling, there are 131.43 million households in America, and either 79 or 80 million American households own dishwashers. I could not find a breakdown by state, but I suspect they’re predominantly popular in wealthier areas, and less popular in poorer areas.

        I’m pretty sure it’s a space thing. How many millions of people in New York live in half a closet, where your “home” is the place where you sleep and recharge your phone, and you spend every waking second out and about in the city. You don’t have a kitchen much less a dishwasher. Meanwhile I’ve never seen a double wide mobile home without one equipped from the factory. I would be surprised to find a multi-bedroom family dwelling without a dishwasher.

        Someone I know moved into an apartment with no dishwasher, and they were like “fuck this” and bought a countertop dishwasher. So apparently that’s a thing.

        it might be an urban/suburban-rural thing? lived in a lot of apartments without them.

  I understand that you are probably living in a big city, but holy shit you actually believe Americans don’t own dishwashers?

  I would really like to know your line of reasoning on that.

    I said it elsewhere in this thread. I haven’t known somebody with a dishwasher, outside bourgoise suburbs, in a while.
