unclutterPro: It's been a lot easier and faster to do dishes. SO much time and energy has been saved since starting to use the dishwasher.
Con: Not all items are dishwasher safe, and those items still need to be handwashed. When water pools on the dishwashed items, they need to be air dried. Both of those things lead to counter clutter in and around the sink.
I'm celebrating a minor victory that the counter and drying rack are clear right now. Especially since trying to find places to balance drying items led to a lid falling and being re-washed three times, because it's been stressful lately and stress leads to contamination-related OCD moments.
Staying on top of dishes is an achievement with how busy and energy consuming everything else has been lately.
