For the majority of the time that Holly and I have been married, we’ve enjoyed the luxury of owning a dishwasher. I’d be lying if I said that I didn’t like having a machine that washed my dirty dishes. I think that I’ve become spoiled by technology over the years.
When we first moved into our house two-and-a-half years ago, we had a dishwasher that worked. Once. It passed the home inspection and then it never worked again though so we decided to upgrade. The one that came with the house was a very small, very cheap unit. We replaced it with a nice big Maytag that we assumed would serve us well for years to come. After all, Maytags never need to be repaired. That’s why Dan the Maytag Man never does anything but sit and read the newspaper.
