Dishwasher?

[deregul4tor]

Can’t find anything, anywhere, regarding dishwashers in this game. Curious if they’re less common in Europe, I’m Canadian and most(…ish) people over the poverty line have one, at least in Ontario

They are in 'cabinets with function' or something like that under kitchen furniture category.

Wow, you must all be rich. We use hand power.

I'd say we have 60/40 washer/handwash where I live.

in the netherlands.. not every household has one.
-when I grew up in the 1980s we didn't have one...
**I do have one from when I left my parents house.. my parents didn't get one even for a long while after we left.
-while they are more common these days... not every household has one.. and those that have not always use them.

id say that in the 1980s only 5% of households in the nethelelands had a dishwasher.. in the 2020s.. thats more like 50%-ish
(mosty elderly people and poor not have them as they have still the time to wash by hand)

it is not seen as an essential appliance regardless..
-having a washing machine IS.. as a a clothes dryer.. those you will find in 100% of households.. that people in usa tend to not have those at home is very alien to us;))

than again.. arco's are not in our houses.. while those are very standard in the usa;)

we than again generally have a frying pan in each house.. than usa does not..

something bout different cultures and all;)

i'd say I rather wash my dishes by hand.. than having to waste hours visiting a laundrymat;)

Most households in the US have washer's and dryer's, probably 80-90%, it's only the people who live in apartments that don't have them because there isn't a hook up for them in most apartment buildings.

Also the frying pan is standard kitchen equipment in the US, lol,

ah good to hear... yeah from youtube one did get another impression that for large swats of the usa.. handing in your clothes and picking them up again at the drycleaner (if wealthy) or waste hours sitting in a laundrymat store (if poor) was quite more common there here (where 100% of households have a washing machine, and 95%+ also a clothes dryer:))

likewise I watched usa based cooking shows.. with quite well equipped kitchens, including things we not commonly have here, like ice dispenser, garbadge press, kitchen aid.. (some households may have those here but only a minority)
-> and they keep saying.. well we just put a pan with oil on a stove.. you could use a frying pan but who has that in their house??..
giving me the impression a dedicated electric frying pan was not an appliance as common as in dutch households.
