Nah, dishwashers are pretty light too. With a muscle mass of 1% I usually just flip it over to work on it. This is just peak HN, PhDs still phased by something requiring an 8th grade level of education.

Dishwashers are ok, depending on flooring - if you want to get it out and guarantee no scratches on the floor, it may be simpler to get some kind of "dolly" mechanical assistance.

Washing machines, on the other hand, tend to have a brick in the bottom to stop them from walking around on their own.

(periodic recommendation: if you buy a Miele, you will pay twice as much for several times the expected lifespan of a cheaper machine. My parents have a Miele dishwasher that's over 30 years old.)
