Hi, My dear dishwasher died a while ago so I reverted to handwashing. With 3 children left in the household, it seemed a burden at first. However, one benefit that was unexpected was the time we now spend talking as we do dishes. As for savings, I think we use less water and there is little electricity involved since we has a gas hot water heater. I use an environmentally safe soap. I would be interested in a measure of the energy savings though.
