@xahteiwi@Lennart Sounds like your dishwasher has a poor energy rating. I think my dishwasher uses 1500w at peak, but only in bursts, much less when cleaning. It usesaround 10w when drying. I find it amusing that "eco" programs run well over 3 hours (to save water?) but uses a lot more watts, which ofcourse is a lot less "eco" and wallet friendly.
☝️ For anyone interested, the most popular choice (the laundry dryer) actually takes the second spot in my home. The top consumer over time among these happens to be the dishwasher.
@xahteiwi I’d be interested in the Wattage numbers. I know my freezer-fridge combo uses about 20W on average (Most of the time 0 with spikes of 60W). Unfortunately, I have no graphs atm. I haven’t gotten around to procuring a RPi or something similar for HAss.
@xahteiwi Heating water and drying? We run hot water faucet next to dishwasher before starting it to ensure it's not filling with cold/cool water to start and disable that water heating. We usually turn off the drying cycle as well, just crack open the dishwasher at the end, give everything a shake, and let it air dry. Haven't instrumented it for power differences though.
@xahteiwi yeah I was thinking this way also, dishwasher is used almost every day, which we can’t say about the laundry drier, also our one does have heat-pump so it is pretty nice to our electricity bill
@sashk@xahteiwi yeah I know. Depending on country here things change a lot, but at least in the two flats I lived here in London I didn't even have gas lines...
@flameeyes@sashk I've never heard of a gas powered laundry dryer. The only thing gas is common to use for over here is heating/hot water, and to a very limited degree, cooking.
