All About Life Without Maids

Yes! We should not rely on maids so much!

Amber, are u looking for a full size or desktop dishwasher?

I think full size is more useful cos it can wash utensils plus cutlery. But I think the wash cycle is abt 1 hour. Wonder if that means higher consumption of water?

Hi mamemo

I agree that full size is more practical. 12l of water per wash. About $1200 from Borcsh (approx 2 month maid salary + levy :)) I think good enough. If you wash by running water it is also easily 12l.

To save electricity, you can accumulate your dishes and wash after dinner. You can put the breakfast dishes and wet them in the sink in the morning. After your family finishes dinner, just load everything and do one wash.

Err, will it smell? My husband is strongly against buying the dishwasher, because those that we used in Australia (in those service apartments) actually had a smell...

I used dishwater when I was living in UK. No smell no problem. So happy with it.

I saw the full size Bosch selling at $999 in Carrefour last month. Not sure whether it's the model you are looking for...can wait for everyday card promo...10% discount!

hi

for bosch products, can get it cheaper fr their agents like parisilk or kong tai. My kitchen all bosch products including the dishwasher. I rinsed off the food items after each meal (fr breakfast till dinner) and put them in as and when my "container " is full. Then wash once at nite. Its quite economical for families like mine who eats at home every meal plus snacks plus 4 kids plus drinks round the clock etc. So far after 6mths ok, no smell leh.

Ha, my record for not folding clothes was 3 days in a row over the last weekend since my maid left…
