   @vaartis @mian It's the same amount of energy.

     @clacke @vaartis @mian Less water means less energy, assuming it has to be heated to the same temperature.

     @loke @mian @vaartis I mean electric vs gas.

     @polydraft @vaartis Ok, that's fair, if we're talking about price.

     So then, assuming the 1/5 claim is true, gas in your location costs 1/5 of what electricity costs and the dishwasher heats cold tap water with electricity, then handwashing could be cheaper.

     If the difference is that big you'll want a dishwasher that can make use of hot tap water.

     @clacke Same amount, but different price. In some countries hot water is provided from local powerplants as a coproduct of electricity generation, so it's quite cheap. Also some dishwashing machines use hot water from tap, so we need introduce quite a number of variables in the discussion
