Hot water disinfection and saving on water bills are popular reasons.

Sales of dishwashers in China maintained a 20-30% growth rate until 2019, but since late January 2020, the number of people searching for dishwashers within the e-commerce app of Suning, a major home appliance retailer, has increased sharply by 283%. The ability to disinfect dishes with boiling water, which is not possible when washing dishes by hand, and the ability to save on water bills are the reasons for the popularity of dishwashers, and those that do not require installation work rather than those that are integrated into system kitchens are being chosen. In addition to the increased awareness of disinfection after COVID-19, there is also the background that more and more meals at home are served one at a time instead of being taken from a large plate, which increases the amount of dishes to be washed and requires more work.
