i rent a house that does not have a dishwasher and i hand washed everything for a while.

i bought a small countertop dish washer, it’s like 2x2 foot or so. you have a house that you stick on the sink tap.

it’s large enough to handle like 3-4 days of dishes, uses less water then hand washing by a lot, and saves so much time, takes not much power.

i just load it up, put some soap inside the trap and some outside, run the water through the pass through until hot and let it run. it cost me about $250 when i got it. it’s been running well for 5 years now
