how many gallons of water does the average dishwasher use per cycle?
National Energy Awareness Month is approaching, so it's a good time to remember that the energy use for a dishwasher is between 0.87-1.59 kWh per load, and the average dishwasher uses six gallons of water per cycle. More efficient dishwashers, Energy Star-rated dishwashers, use four gallons per cycle.
