Ooft, yeah, I feel you. This new place doesn't have a dishwasher, and after having a dishwasher for the best part of 4 years, I really don't want to go back. Strongly considering saving my bikkies and buying a benchtops dishwasher. If you have the financial situation, I say absolutely go for it. 24 weeks isn't forever, but it's also long enough that I personally would look at what options are available

Make sure you carefully check all the dimensions though. While I was away in June/July, our (full size) dishwasher was broken and replaced with one ever so slightly smaller, but also bulkier/with less internal space. We have 3 plates that do not fit in the dishwasher unless at the very edge. It drives me irrationally angry, and I've seriously considered taking the 3 plates into the shed and pretending it's a rage room. I had somehow never even noticed they were bigger before
