We are getting a dishwasher and I am trying to decide what to use it for. What do you use it for? Why did you choose that? Obviously, answer only if you have ONE (not two) dishwashers.

we had one installled when we bought our house. the previous owners had no dishwasher, so we had to hack out a whole area of cabinets....
we made ours meat, cuz thats what made most sense for us...shabbos entertaining, heavy fleishig dinners etc...
we just handwash our dairy dishes.
enjoy it!! what a lifesaver!

I dont have any dishwashers, but if I'd have just one, I'd make it fleishigs. I have tons of fleishig dishes on erev shabbos from cooking for shabbos, and then, tons more after shabbos from hosting!

I say meat, meat, meat.
I use mine for meat and it really is the best thing in the world.
Motzei Shabbos clean up is such a pleasure, whereas it used to take me like 2 hours to wash all the dishes, now I just load it all up and away we go.
The really messy pots and pans, for me, happen when I make fleishig meals. Milchigs I don't really cook that much, and it's basically just dishes to wash, which is much easier then gross big meaty pots!
But thats just my opinion....

When I had one- I used it for meat. such a pleasure cooking for shabbos and after shabbos.
(now we are renting a house that was previously owned by frum ppl and they left their milchig one and we brought our fleishig one!)

Definitely meat, as we have it once or twice a day... And milkhig is easier to clean "by hand" than fleishik...

I have none, but my mother has only one and it's fleishig.
If only for motzei Shabbos it's worth it!

definately!
And if I have a big load motzei shabbos because I had guests, I just do 2 loads, not a big deal. One load for the really dirty pots and pans, and one for the china and glasses and cutlery.
What a pleasure!

The first time my parents had a dishwasher, it was fleishig, but my mother said it was such a waste. Her glasses were not safe for it, and neither were all the china, and the big soup pot/cholent pot didn't fit, and she ended up making more fleishig meals and pareve in fleishig dishes during the week because of it, and so the kids weren't able to drink milk.
A few houses later, when they were installing a dishwasher, they chose to make it milchig -- load it up after breakfast, supper can be milchig easily, and so easy to do dishes before shabbos with only one sink, and can work fleishig without milchigs in the way. For a small kitchen, and lots of kids, it turned out to be ideal.

My dishwasher has a timer on it. I'm about to kasher it (stainless steel interior), and was wondering the same thing.
Could I set the timer before Shabbat, load it up as I clear dishes erev Shabbos, have it run during the night and then be able to put away the clean dishes and ready to load up the dirty dishes from Sat. on motzei Shabbat?

JRKMommy, lots of people do that! It's a great idea. Just be careful no lights go on or anything when you close it or open it.
BTW if you get seperate racks you can use your dishwasher on pesach because it's stainless steel. Seperate racks are expensive though...

all the seforim I've read and all the shiurim I've gone to said you can't run a noisy appliance on shabbos or yomtov b/c of maris ayin.
I even asked around my office since I work with all kinds of people, and all my coworkers - lakewood, monsey, washington heights, riverdale, longisland, flatbush, agree.

Dishwashers aren't noisy these days.
But maybe ask someone knowledgable just in case.

It's a very quiet dishwasher. If you're close enough to hear it, you're close enough to see the timer feature. Besides, it's in my house, so no random outsider would hear it. I can just explain it to whoever comes in the kitchen (eg. "Don't touch the dishwasher - the Shabbos timer is all set!)
