People gave such answers
On this question, a user gave his opinion and said, 'Buying and using a dishwasher is very expensive for the common man, because it costs a lot to buy it. Also, it consumes a lot of electricity. Apart from this, there is less space to keep it in the kitchen. Also, before putting the dishes in the dishwasher, it has to be washed with water.'
The user further said, 'It is better to hire a maid to wash dishes than to buy a dishwasher, because it will be cheaper. The maid will not only wash the dishes, but will also keep them in their place.'
Another user wrote, 'There is very little cabinet space in the kitchen to keep a dishwasher and even today in many parts of India there is no 24-hour electricity.'
Another user wrote, 'Indian food contains a lot of oil and spices, so many people believe that the dishwasher will not be able to clean the utensils properly. Also, the utensils in the Indian kitchen are very big and of different sizes, which can be difficult for the machine to clean.'
Apart from this, a user said, 'Indians do not adopt any new technology easily. It takes them a lot of time for this.'
