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.
Comment on "Americans can't coo-"
prime_number_314159@lemmy.world 4 weeks agoAccording 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.

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

What country do you think supports the American dishwasher companies if Americans don’t?

corporations don’t need to actually make products to be profitable. look at tesla. I assumed it was a few suburbanites and the rest is financial instruments/subsidies, to the extent I thought about it at all.

They do need to be profitable to last as a company. Whirlpool won’t be bailed out by the world’s richest dipshit.

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.
