For example, water usage limits on dishwashers that make people run the cycle twice and end up using more water and more electricity than the old ones.

It's a similar phenomenon to "low flush" toilets that clog and/or have to be flushed multiple times, using roughly the same or even more water than what they replaced.

Get a Niagara. 0.8 gallons per flush. Best flushing toilet I have ever used in my life, at any gallon per flush level. Sustainable/conserving doesn't have to suck.

Can confirm.

However, their quality control is kind of terrible (2/2 had defects in the porcelain causing them to run indefinitely out of the box). I patched both up, and now they're OK.

In fairness, Niagara offered to ship replacements for both free of charge.

Also, they cost a tiny fraction of the other (worse specced) water conserving options, and, thanks to covid we bought them from sketchyplumbingoutlet.com or some such site (they could have been returns for all I know).

Anyway, they flush better than any other residential toilet I've encountered (including high flow and low flow ones), and use 0.8 gallons per flush.
